I'd like to meet:
Patti LaBelle: If only she knew how much she helped me during my first pregnancy with the twins. Her autobio inspired me to keep on keepin' on.
Gladys Knight: Everytime I hear her records I'm taken back to the days when I used to sing and dance in front of company to her music using the steps I learned from watching Soul Train with my Auntie Carol.
Stevie Wonder: Genius! Nuff said.
The Dahli Lama: Just wanna chat and meditate.
Matt Damon: Brilliant and cute. I've got a crush on him.
Kanye West: Edgy, sexy, intelligent and quick witted. Plus he's a fantastic visual artist. And not afraid to SPEAK ON IT!
Johnathan Demme: Awesome filmmaker. I used to chat with him back in the late 80's when I was "Down with MTV," Scorched Earth Productions, and Black and White Television doing music video production. He used to edit his videos at our spot on Broadway in the village while I watched his daughter as I manned the phones and of course the cute bike messengers.
Jada Smith: I've got a character for her to play for my upcoming novel, "And Then There Were 8;" a sequel to H2H...From Harlem 2 Hiroshima(my first baby). She'd be perfect in the role of raw diva fast ass, Roxi.
Ziggy Marley: Sexy. Jamaican and some of the same reasons as mentioned regarding Matt Damon and K. West.
Vern from Trading Spaces: I get kick out of seeing him create something totally off the map from practically nothing. That's how I get down. I'll pick up a circular saw in a minute!
Lauren Hill: Mind-Blower to the max!
Toni Morrison: The only writer other than Alice Walker that does the research and makes your head spin. Ya best have a dictionary on hand. Okaaaaaaaaaaay!
Michael Eric Dyson: I think articulate is the word.
My ancestor(s) who survived the Middle Passage to the New World: I just want to say thank you for not giving up. Thank you for wanting to survive.
