About Me

I was born and raised in Brooklyn but my family hails from Liberia, West Africa via my Mother and South Carolina via my Pop. I am an IT Professional who currently works as a Technical Support Specialist with a renowned law firm. What can I say, it's a path to what I want to be involved with...Management in IT. I'm into spoken word sessions and the whole Neo-Soul scene. It speaks to me what can I say. My family inspires me and my friends humble me. I have my circle that is near and dear to me. I'm a down to Earth guy who tends to maintain a playful side when permitted otherwise I'm laid back. I hold a flame to honesty and those who live by the concept since it's something that can't be taught nowadays.

My Interests

Good conversation, understanding the logic behind so much of the ills of human nature, the gift of common sense

I'd like to meet:

Malcolm X (A word from him is overdue in my opinion, I have my own questions to ask him), Hannibal of Carthage (A story of Black leadership that should be a standard in Black History research), Melyssa Ford (because I was captivated at how down to Earth she was the first time we met...real talk)...I'll add more in time, a good question indeed. Paul Robeson, Canada Lee & others.

Music:

I'm into Neo-Soul heavily...But my ears are diverse

Movies:

Coming To America, Mo' Better Blues, House Party, She Hate Me, Love Jones, Revenge of The Nerds, Clueless

Television:

The Wire, The Boondocks, Entourage,Def Poetry, VH1 Soul Channel, BCAT, What's Happenin', Good Times (You'd be surprised how many political issues were addressed on that show)

Books:

-"The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene (many should read this one, I've broken maybe 38 of em)
-I forgot the title but it was the Autobiography of Dick Gregory (Interesting person indeed)
-Others to follow

Heroes:

My family...and the person who created the word and concept of hope. Enjoy the movie...it changes often
A Lost Craft of Sorts

My Mind Works Crazy Sometimes...

Did Neo-Soul & Sanaa Lathan/Taye Diggs Flicks go together like a hand in a glove? One could argue that both groups hit their peek and then disappeared around the same time...at least in a se...
