Nobody in their right mind will argue that writing is challenging work. And nobody knows this better than the folks closest to the writer, in this case my wonderful family—aka Rob and Miranda—who witness the struggle, the triumphs and setbacks with unending support.

“Even as we each embrace our beautiful, unique, valid versions of blackness, remember the tie that does bind us as African-Americans, and that is our particular awareness of injustice and unfairness and struggle. That means we cannot sleep walk through life, we cannot be ignorant of history.”   ~ President Barack Obama  

On March 5th I featured violinist Damien Escobar—still can’t get enough of his cover of Am I Wrong. I’m back with something from the archives: Damien and his brother Tourie back when they took America’s Got Talent by storm as the duo Nuttin but Stringz ~

Thanks to my daughter Miranda I am now hip to this Carpool Karaoke video series with late night host James Corden. These three are is my current favs… can’t figure out why they don’t stop London and Los Angeles traffic?! Fun, cool, wacky idea. . .  

  Wishing you all the best!
