Music. Thoughts. Inspiration.
I love black love, like and everything in between, so I appreciate First‘s intimate look at “the first date” for recently reconnected Robin and Charles.
The web series was the perfect addition to my Saturday night of RomComs, popcorn and hot toddies.
Episode 3 will be available on April 30.

Long overdue. smh
Last Monday, I finally got the chance to see a live performance by up-and-coming artist Sevyn Streeter. Though you may only associate her name with the hit single “It Won’t Stop,” Sevyn has been in the game for years after getting her start with girl groups TG4 and RichGirl. (Yes, TG4 that every B2k fan hated on the low…)
I could talk about how Sevyn didn’t come on until 10 after 10 p.m. on a Monday (I blame the venue more than anything), but I’ll just skip to my thoughts on her performance — I think she’s talented! She’s not a “sanger,” but she puts on a good performance nonetheless and I loved her choreography. She performed songs from her Dec. 2013 release Call Me Crazy, But… (including the most talked-about performance of the night), and a number of covers, among them “Stay,” and “Drunk In Love.” She didn’t immediately hit me as a superstar, but that sentiment may change as she finds her niche as a solo artist.
Sevyn’s opener for the night was one of my favorite underdogs, Mateo! Though very few people in the crowd were familiar with his music, his performance was well received. A crowd favorite — a song personalized for a fan he picked out of the audience, “Rina.”

My trip to San Francisco was just the change in scenery I needed. I was able to visit most of the ‘must-see’ sites without adhering to a crazy, pre-planned schedule. For people who like to do short trips, I think 4 days, 5 nights is plenty of time to get a feel for the city and its unique culture. The fact that it is only 49 square miles makes it that much easier.
I will save most of my photos for another post, but for the people just looking for some ideas, my trip went a little something like this..
Since my return to the East Coast, every time I hear “Not A Bad Thing” on the radio I close my eyes and I can almost feel the warmth of the sun on my skin as we cruised over the Golden Gate bridge. San Francisco, my little piece of paradise.
