Reading, sleeping, gaining knowledge, listening and analyzing music, debating, uplifting the black community... long walks on beaches at midnight... That crap people say to sound desperate!

The dead or alive question was not posed, so I'd like to meet Marvin Gaye(What's happ'ning brotha?), Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Black Thought, Bob Marley, Audrey Hepburn, ?uestlove, Lauryn Hill, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Minnie Ripperton, Bob James, Malcolm X, Ella Baker, Harriet Tubman, and the list goes on...Other than the people that I find to be great, I'd like to meet fellow fashion designers/ artists, "natural-hair" sistas(I just made the big chop!) and hot musicians that are down for the cause.View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
