Lauryn Hill
With tears in my eyes, I sat watching Ms. Lauryn Hill’s MTV unplugged (recorded in 2001), finally feeling that I could accept myself as not only an artist but a unique black woman. Her words resonated with me so much that I felt as if she was sitting in a room talking to only me. Her raspy voice over her acoustic guitar and her words filled with so much emotion…it was exactly what I needed. I had spent the morning crying over a project I was trying to complete, feeling that it wasn’t good enough. Here she was, on my television screen, telling me that I was a voice, an important voice, and me showing up and being real about who I am is more important than just putting out art. I didn’t need to fill any shoes, I didn’t need to be like anyone else, I just needed to be who I am. That’s when the light bulb went off for me, understanding that truly being who you are is what is most important in this world because there will never be another you.

Whitney Houston--A Legend
Music can comfort, empathize, be uplifting, and help people heal, among other benefits. Most people don't go a day without listening to it. How often do we think about the people behind the music—singers, songwriters, and instrumentalists? In this piece, I am going to talk about a legend. One of the most phenomenal voices of all time, her voice is one of the most distinct. She passed away nine years ago. Her impact on people and music will never be forgotten. There are times, I still cry when I see clips of Whitney Houston. It is difficult to believe she is gone.

Britney Spears Scrabble Words Decoded?
Singer Britney Spears has been troubled for many years. You know all of the details, unless you've been living under a rock. There are so many stories to tell and so little time. It could take many hours to go over facts and details that you probably already know, so I will save us all a whole lot of time and energy.

Strong Black Leads in Entertainment
When I was in high school, I heard a lot of people hyping the show Grey's Anatomy. I'd never thought anything of it, until I actually decided to get on Netflix and watch it for myself. 17 years is how long this show has been running.

Celebrities: Reality vs Expectations
Sadly we live in a time where so many are harsh and judgemental. With easy access to social media and online platforms, it is so much easier to write a comment that will be forever on the internet. Are we posting uplifting content, or are we casting judgment on those with whom we disagree? We live in a culture full of people saying, "I have rights." "Free speech!" "My opinion matters!" These statements are correct.
