Do you know this woman?

If you don't know who Meshelle Ndegeocello is, you might want to find out. This sista defies categorization and is by far one of my favorite artists. I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform a number of times and even had the chance to meet her. She is a beautiful spirit.

I don't know what is going on with youtube file transfers to Blog, so that is why I did not embed a clip for you to enjoy. However, click the title above and you can check out her myspace. She is pure genius.

Side bar..... I ran into Marsha Ambrosious of Floetry fame tonight in Phili...upon query, she told me that she was busy in the studio working with Dre on her new album. I am sad to have seen Floetry part ways, but I am excited to hear what she and mind behind Chronic will be able to lay on us.

Never forget to support that which you love, be it good music, art or whatever. Show your support people, it makes a difference.

So I heard my personal muse Maxwell on the radio yesterday (backdrop...I almost NEVER listen to regular old radio stations, either it's cd or talk radio) and who was on but Maxwell. Ever so graciously engaged in an interview with a lackluster announcer on a lackluster station. Now you all know that it has been a minute, ok seven years, since we have really heard from this brother. Seems to me, from what I hear it's about to be worth the wait. I believe his new album, which is a trilogy called "Black Summers Night" drops July 7th. Suffice it to say, I am quickly falling in love with the first single "pretty wings"...check the link above. What I love about Maxwell is the love and respect for women that infuses his music. He makes me feel what he is feeling in a song. He clearly has some loving parents, bc this brother comes across as being strong, yet sensitive, in control, yet vulnerable....his music is magic to me. Please take a moment to check out this vid...

Hola y bienvenido mi amigos (hello and welcome back my friends), It's been a minute I know. I recently returned from a much needed escape to Puerto Rico. It was a very relaxing trip and gave me some time to sort some things out and look at some things from a different perspective. I came away from my trip refreshed and with a couple of realizations that I would like to lay on you. Got a minute? Good. While I would never volunteer to act as an interpreter during a meeting at my job-unless forced to do so- I really do know more Spanish than I let on. My college professors were right, language immersion is the key to bridging the gap to fluency. Had I been as smart as my cousin Kecia, I too would have taken a semester to study in South America while in college. But no, I was too busy being cute in D.C. But I digress. You see after having studied Spanish for 8 consecutive years and living in an area largely populated by Spanish speakers, the problem I still have is that when I speak Sp...
