Happy 95th Birthday Nelson Mandela!



I'm not about this dating life.

Sincerely,

Shari

Last night I had the pleasure of going to Bus Boys and Poets (14th + V) for a much needed night out, and to enjoy a night of spoken word with friends. The artists left me feeling inspired to finally muster up the courage to read one of my pieces. I'll be combing through my journal to try to pick out the perfect piece for my first time performing.

Any suggestions?

Stay tuned

Amazing poet/ journalist and Featured Artist of the night, Mahogany Browne, of Brooklyn and myself.

I'm having difficulty blogging from my work computer lately, and rarely have time by the time I'm finally home, so I apologize for the lack of posts. I just got back from my second stint in Miami. This go around was a lot more relaxed than the first trip. It mostly consisted of Fat Tuesdays cups and frolicking in the ocean. 

I wanted to take a moment before posting a string of picture heavy posts to invite everyone out to Tikis 4 Tits, the second annual pool party to support the fight against breast cancer. It will take place on July 27th at the Big Vanilla Athletic Club in Pasedena,Md. Come out and support a good cause! It should be a good time. 

they're hereeeeeee!

What's to blame, isolation?

Or am I changing?

The people in my life rearranging

Dropping like flies

But am I the swatter,

or the repellent?

Hard to say,

because I can't smell it
