Oh No He Didn't!!!!

What's up my peeps! Life is amazingly good isn't it? I know right!!!!

OK, so how many of you heard yours truly get beat down by George and Micheal Baisden last Friday? So a sista finally gets through on the Michael B. show right, and I get a chance to kick my poem. Well little did I know it was the battle of the sexes which we all know Michael has to give the men a handicap by cheating because they have a tendency to fall short:) So anywho, I get a chance to introduce the book and the title of my poem, Hunk of Black Man, and mid-way through the poem George gongs me! Can you imagine! Here I am trying to give the brothas some love and these two are having a ball at my expense! No problem, I can handle it. It was all good! Actually, do you know how many times I have tried to get through on that show? So I count it all good that I got through and was able to bless the Universe with a few bars of my poem. Michael B. will hear more from a sista, just wait and see! And to everybody that called me and told me they heard a sista and wanted to tell me not to get discouraged, thank you:)

My oh my, so much to tell! The calendar is filling up, CD's and books are selling and I am so eternally grateful to God for it all! I had a chance to do my thing for students at Ramsey Street Middle School in Fayetteville, NC (Shout out to Ramsey Street!)and I had a blast! Mr. David Edwards, who is the principal and his staff are to be commended for what they are doing for the kids in that school. It would make you proud. And the kids...what a bunch of beautiful, inquisitive, honest, smart kids. I will never forget them and I am so grateful they took the time to listen, ask questions and engage themselves in what I had to offer. Don't believe the hype about our kids, they want to have a bright future for themselves and the world.

Well, gotta go, but will be back soon, I promise. Until I do, take care of yourselves and each other!

Peace, Blessings and Love,
Marina
