I can tell you from personal experience it gets a little tiring having to make the rounds on cable shows to explain 'what's up with black folks.'

I don't know when I made that active decision to be a writer or to try to write, but I know I always liked storytelling.

As a coping mechanism, or as a way to make a little hard count by shilling demons in the shadows, I try not to belittle the thought process of the conspiracy theorists. As a cocktail waitress in Vegas once schooled me: never get down on anybody else's hustle.

When entertainment works the best, you're creating an apparatus to convey emotions.

I'm sorry, but chick fights are sexy. If you don't think so, you're either an uptight woman or a lying man.

Facts tend to take the punch out of a good hate rant and are therefore left best unsaid.

For every horrific event, something beautiful happens.
