Does 'The Avengers' Live Up to Its Hype? One Fangirl's quick review.

Does 'The Avengers' Live Up to Its Hype? One Fangirl's quick review.
I have been looking forward to The Avengers movie ever since Nick Fury made an unexpected cameo at the end of the first Iron Man movie. Since then, I have been a total fangirl for the Marvel franchise. I wear that title with pride. My friend Keisha & I just returned from watching The Avengers... Read more »

I'm a writer for a major publication now. Ain't that bad ass?

I'm a writer for a major publication now. Ain't that bad ass?
Most indie artists would kill to have a write-up about them featured in a popular newspaper. Now, I’m an indie artist who will be having my own writing featured in one. Sweeeeeeeet! RedEye is a major publication in Chicago that covers pop culture, sports, and anything else current & newsworthy. Since the paper was launched... Read more »

The FlyWheel 5 Ride challenge: I already look better naked...and now my friends will, too!
I am currently working on a new album that I plan to release this summer. That means I have to get off of my hedonistic ass and exercise so that I can be in tip-top shape for shows, videos, and other half-naked summertime foolishness. Poor me. A few days ago  I wrote about FlyWheel, the... Read more »

Will I look better naked after taking The FlyWheel 5 Ride Challenge?

I hate working out. Exercise hurts and breaking a sweat is only fun when you’re doing it under naughty circumstances. However, summer is right around the corner, and the way that I like to dress on & off the stage sort of requires that I be in decent shape. Candy Morales is a personal trainer... Read more »

Why supporters of Issa Rae, Trayvon, & The Hunger Games should sit back, relax, & enjoy the racism

Why supporters of Issa Rae, Trayvon, & The Hunger Games should sit back, relax, & enjoy the racism
At the beginning of February, I wrote a blog about Black history month that got featured on The View. Most people took it for what it was and had a good laugh. Other people took it as an opportunity to post some of the most racist comments I’ve ever read. A few days ago the... Read more »

An open letter to George Zimmerman: Why I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt

An open letter to George Zimmerman: Why I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt
I have a theory about life. I believe that it is important for all of us to pursue our passions in life because if we don’t channel our need for the highs & lows that life hands us into something we consider important then we start creating problems and drama just to feel as if... Read more »

If you (or someone you know) is a producer, I have an opportunity for you

If you (or someone you know) is a producer, I have an opportunity for you
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE ACAPELLA AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES. In 2006 I wrote a song called Lies Girls Tell. I didn’t know how to produce beats (I didn’t learn ’til 2008,) so the song sat around in my notebook until I received an instrumental that fit it well. After I recorded the song I ran... Read more »

South By Southwest: Why I won't be going this year... but you totally should.
South By Southwest (SXSW for short) is one of the largest music festivals in the United States that takes place every March in Austin, Texas. I LOVE MUSIC FESTIVALS.

Why I Don't Give a Damn About the KONY 2012 Criticism, and Why You Shouldn't Either

Why I Don't Give a Damn About the KONY 2012 Criticism, and Why You Shouldn't Either
I’m not a political figure. Hell, I don’t even own an Obama “Yes We Can” t-shirt. All I am is an indie recording artist who tries to help make a difference in the world in any way that I can. That is why I support the KONY 2012 campaign. Today, I am writing about a... Read more »
