Tisha Campbell ain't Gina, She's a lazy bitch

Tisha Cambell -Martin and Tichina Arnold on the set of Martin

Damn Gina!! Ok let me not say that too loud and Tisha Campbell try not to come for me because the LAZY BITCH she is. LOL!! I promise if you haven't heard this damn song by Tisha Campbell!!!! Yes the song is called Lazy Bitch and one would say she's maybe a little too seasoned to perform a song like this but I always say, you're as young as you feel.
Gina ass read a book to few and told all you heffas to have several seats, LOL!! I mean the lyrics are very focused. Tisha rocks out letting you know you are all her children, but who is she referring to? Could it be that Gina... I mean Tisha Campbell gave a lot of ungrateful folks their path? Tell me if I'm lying but growing up in the late 80's and early 90's you wanted to be Chiffon (Little Shop of Horrors) , Jane Toussaint (School Daze) , Gina (Martin), and lets not forget Sydney (House Party)! Truth be told Tisha Campbell did get to the level where every female wanted to be her and every man to be with her. As she always was admired by me for her craft of acting and singing, Lazy Bitch is different and not expected but it reminds me of a little Beyoncé like... I'll take it Mrs, Campbell-Martin!

Monday Motivation

Ray Lewis and Victoria

All my latest conversations have revolved around the topic of findings your purpose. I will be honest, I want to do everything, so when I'm asked , "what are you capable of doing?" My reply can be,"everything". 

Not too long ago I joined the class of the parents and soon-to-be parents of high school students. To speak to these young individuals, only feeling like I was speaking to a reflection of my teen self. It was an eye opener and gave me the ability to see a purpose in myself. 

Then this past weekend I got to meet former NFL player, Ray Lewis and his uncle introduced him, he stated everything this man had done great, but passionately said, "his next move is his best move". With that said as you find your purpose, remember your best is yet to come. Why? Because...

1. I am destined to be great

2. I'm not in control of the cards dealt, but my purpose is in the right direction.

3. I'm here to not only exist, but live.

4. Not matter the trials to get there, my outcome will be greater.

5. I'm doing my best at all times.

"...And I ain't perfect. And I work hard. So I deserve it. And I belong..."-Drake (UNSTOPPABLE)

Monday Motivation

I've hit the gym recently and damn well, if I do say so myself. I'm not one for a New Year resolutions but my goal this year is to get back being active. So, yes I still do me but dedicated at least 5 hours a week to the gym. Today I needed that motivation as I felt a little shaky trying to get my body right. No, I'm not looking to have the unrealistic body. Come on now! I am  5'7", not meant to have a 20 inch waist. LOL! So as I tell myself to get to that last twenty minutes left of my workouts, you tell yourself to get through this week, because you know what?? We aren't perfect and always in the need for an extra push to help us through!

1. Everyday I am becoming healthier

2.  I'm happy making my body better.

3. I'm breathing in all the good vibes in and out with the bad.

4. No one is going to stop me from achieving my goal.

5.  I am stronger today than yesterday and I'll be stronger tomorrow.

I learned working with the negatives can make for better picturesI learned Hennessy and enemies is one hell of a mixture. -Drake (H.Y.F.R)

Chris Rock sprinkled black in the Oscars

As the Oscars opens up the show with a video reel of movies and Chris Rock, brings it in with a joke, mentioning there was at least 15 black people in the reel. Which it was! Less black people were nominated for The Oscars. He goes on to say how Will and Jada are mad about Will Smith not being nominated but Chris hits them with the line in regards to Jada that the Oscars for Jada is equivalent to Chris Rock and Rihanna's panties... both Jada and Chris... not invited. Damn!!

Chris Rock got a little serious for us too, saying how as the Oscars have been going on for 88 years now and black people never protested the prior Oscar awards, because black people had more serious things to protest. True! But does it still make it ok?
All around, with bringing Stacey Dash out to the stage for her  to say, "I can't wait to help my people out, Happy Black History Month" and the parodies of nominated movies with black actresses and actors in them. Chris Rock did what he knows best, he made people around him feel uncomfortable. He shook it up for sure, is it enough to make sure this is the last year that no black actors or Leonardo DiCaprio go unnoticed... Again? Oh but wait! Even Leo won! Finally and he didn't have to be a crackhead, crooked cop, or a whore on screen to do it!
If you didn't watch The Oscars, catch the memes. I'm sure they will all be about Chris Rock and Kevin Hart. Lets be honest though, at 8pm I tuned to watch the much anticipated Walking Dead! Gotta love them damn zombies!

Flint Water Drive

If you don't know about the water crisis in Flint, you should know. Just imagine doing all of your everyday things, like brushing your teeth, washing your face, taking a shower, and so much more that we take for granted. Now being limited to a case of water to complete all that. This problem has been going on for over a year now and thanks to the people listening, the world opened up their ears and their heart to contribute with the families in Flint, Michighan.
This past weekend Radio One Saint Louis partnered up with Project Compassion NFP, The Korey Johnson Foundation, and Beyond Limits Production to make an everlasting memory. As they reached out to the community to collect a goal of one thousand cases of water.

The community came out in droves as the on-air talents such as; Boogie-D, Meghan O, and A-Plus of Hot 104.1 and Staci-Static, DJ Kut, and DJ Quinn of Old School 95.5 jumped on the airwaves to encourage people to bring out the water for the people of Flint, Michigan.

Instead of reaching their goal, they exceed it, by collecting seven thousand cases of water. Radio One Saint Louis and friends came together to make sure that the families of Flint, Michigan know they aren't alone. 

To be on site it brought a feeling that made you see that there are humans in this wild world. It also made you feel like no matter had bad you think you have it, somewhere someone is going through it worse. As a community to see people not thinking about themselves was refreshing and yes there have been several water drives for Flint, but is it ever really enough? 

Faith in the stars. I'm gon' do what I want, cause this life's what I'm given. Gotta keep my faith in the dark clouds.-Drake (Faith ft. K-OS)
