I have completed fan pages for Shorty and As NOT Seen on TV on FaceBook. Woo hoo! I inquired about a class I was advised to take to start a TV show. I pray to have that going by April depending on the class and topics covered. I already have the title. GoShorty TV is…

What’s Missing???
I am so close to finally reaching my gold, but something is missing. I don’t know what. Whatever it is, I know it is in my immediate grasp. It’s a little annoying, but I’m going to keep on movin’ until I reach it. I feel like Scooby-Doo looking for a clue. He always finds what…
Waiting for Disney to Create A Black Prince?
While reading comments about The Princess and the Frog controversy on MovieFone, someone wanted to know when Disney was going to create a black prince. Apparently, this person was serious. Let’s exam a couple things. First, Disney created his first cartoon in 1923. They presented their first black princess for all to see in 2009,…
OK, I’m Sick
I was checking my updates from Every Block Chicago when I ran across this story about a 17 year old having sex with an 8-year-old child. I cannot worry about grammatical errors as I write this; I can only pray through the tears that are falling. Read at your own risk: http://www.suntimes.com/news/24-7/1998723,sex-assault-teen-charged-011910.article Otherwise, take my…
I Was Trying to Keep Silent…
But, I just have to say something. I received an email from someone at 12:00 a.m. requesting support of an event at 11:00 a.m. While I understand that things happen, people need to give ample notice for certain events. Then, “they” had their little soapbox moment stating that people should support people and events. Well,…
Mis-Education of the Negro
As we approach Black History Month, I had two thoughts: 1. Should I start a book discussion on Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s Mis-Education of the Negro on of my blogs? 2. Will the Chicago Chapter of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) have any events in Dr. Woodson’s honor? …
I Think I Have Topics for As NOT Seen on TV
I am finding that a lot of my topics on As NOT Seen on TV are African American and women. I think that is because I fall into both categories. 🙂 Although my blog is going to be multicultural, this is a good start. I was concerned that I would not have anything to discuss….
Black Women Aren’t the Only Single Ladies
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWTXhHABj_A According to the above video, 42% of Black women are not married; there is very little hope of them marrying a Black Man; and over 70% of professional Black women with letters behind their names do not have M.R.S. in front of their names. Check out what Demetria Lucas of Essence Magazine shared in…
6 Degrees of Separation or Fewer
It is believed that there is 6 degrees of separation between people you know. I’d like to think that there are fewer degrees than that. Let me tell you why. I had a meeting with someone on Friday. She was telling me her background and experience. She made a statement, and I started having flashbacks…
What Goes Around Comes Around
Today, I got the most blessed advice from someone regarding my business. I am totally excited. BUT, earlier in the day, I gave a couple resources to someone who is doin’ his thang with photography. I knew a little bit, so I shared it. I just felt that the information I received was a result…
