#YR Mishael Morgan Is Worth Every Penny
Rubies. The stone is what comes to mind when I think of Mishael Morgan, Emmy nominated portrayer of Hilary Curtis on The Young and the Restless. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare to her. Morgan is arguably one of the crown jewels of Y&R. Value her as such.…

You never know what someone is going through. Not until it’s too late at times. Kate Spade is another reminder of all that shimmers isn’t gold. The iconic fashion designer was found dead of an apparent suicide on Tuesday. She was only 55 and a powerhouse with 150 stores nationwide and 175 internationally with millions…

What in the name of Stephanie Forrester has happened to #BoldandBeautiful?
Make it make sense. In the realm of daytime soap operas, not much makes sense. Granted, that also applies to real life these days but reel should have no reason to be so devoid of logic when it’s intentionally scripted. For The Bold and the Beautiful, the greater offense is not living up to its…

#Hevon On Earth
The audacity of hope. It’s not just the name of former President Barack Obama’s best-selling memoir but my vibe when it comes to Hilary Curtis and Devon Hamilton.

#RoyalWedding Meghan Markle’s Folks Don’t Make Them Family
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting married this weekend in case you hadn’t heard. If there’s actually a show of hands out there, Meghan’s family members have been more than willing to run and tell dat. My invitation to the royal wedding might’ve gotten lost in the mail but Meghan’s kinfolk were intentionally…

#HappyMothersDay
My mother’s heart and essence is made of vibranium, the strongest substance known to Wakanda and mankind. Her strength is literally the reason why I’m here. She didn’t just give birth to me and my siblings but has nurtured us into reflections of her spirit. Anyone can have a baby. A dog in heat certainly…

Love Is Love (Daytime Edition)
Happy Birthday Mom! Sing-a-long if you know the words and send her all the positive vibes you can muster. She’s 62 years old today and I know her greatest wish is to be a grandmother already. Since that isn’t happening anytime soon, I hope my love and eternal gratitude for her continues to…

#DearWhitePeople Showcases Humanity of Black Women
I’m currently on my third tour of duty binging Dear White People, both seasons, on Netflix. Each encore reveals something I missed in the nuanced portrayal of Black students dealing with the trauma of racism while in college. Kurt’s new style as Thor didn’t immediately jump out. It’s a good look but spreading the…
