Felicia's News, Patterson Heights

While doing some research on Barnes & Noble, I came across a review for PATTERSON HEIGHTS. The first I've seen actually. And it's a great one!

The Message

That's right! THE MESSAGE turns two this month. I still remember the first day I held it in my hands. I wanted to cry, but couldn't. I had to hurry to the Baltimore Book Festival.

You probably know him best from his days doing whatever it took to get a laugh on In Living Color. Or maybe from his own sketch comedy show Chocolate News which to the dismay of some, was short-lived on Comedy Central.

There's a lot of debate about the movie adaptation for Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" because of Tyler Perry's attachment to the project. Folks are either supportive or straight up mad.

I like Elizabeth Nunez. I mean this two-fold. She's sweet, yet direct, which reminds me of many of the matriarchs in my family. And like many of the matriarchs in my family, she's taken on the role of helping others--in this case, black writers--through her work as a professor at Medgar Evers College and as cofounder of the National Black Writers Conference.

For years, playwright and screenwriter Stephanie Covington Armstrong battled what's considered a "white woman's problem." In her new memoir, "Not All Black Girls Know How to Eat: A Story of Bulimia" she discusses her struggle as a black woman with a severe eating disorder. She talks with Books on the Root about bulimia, her painful childhood, why no woman is immune from an eating disorder, and healing.

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about relationships between Black men and women. Well, actually it's mostly not talk; it's a lot of finger-pointing and avoiding responsibility. What's new, right?
