Henderson ~ Nelson Mandela ~ Malcolm X's Daughters ~ Bill Cosby ~ The casts of all "Law & Order" series [esp. S. Epatha Merkerson] ~ and Jurnee Smollett.

Music:

I like the old school and the new. My first records were "Brandy," by the O'Jay's, "Atomic Dog," by George Clinton & P-Funk, and "Give It To Me Baby," by Rick James. All given to me by my grandmother and played out on my baby blue Mickey Mouse record player in the 1970's.Nowadays I listen to gospel, R&B and rap music in the CD player of our SUV.

Movies:

Make Black Film By Any Means Necessary!!! As you can see, I love comedies, family drama, and romantic films. I forgot to add "Jerry Maguire" to my list, and I've bothered my brother Gee enough to help me make this myspace page. And if you're wondering why I have Master P's debut film on my list, it's because that's the first film I ever helped to make when I was 19 years old.

Television:

My favorite TV shows are black 1-hour dramas like "Soul Food," ALL "Law & Order" shows, anything on HGTV, celebrity gossip shows on VH1, and several black sit-coms such as: "Good Times," "What's Happenin'," "Girlfriends," "All of Us" [when Elise Neal's character was a part of the cast], "The Steve Harvey Show," "Martin," and the list goes on.I also LOVE "Run's House" on MTV. That's my favorite reality TV show. Favorite soap operas are "The Young & The Restless" and "Days of Our Lives."I loved "ComicView" when Rickey Smiley hosted the Atlanta tapings because that's the best season I experienced of the three seasons I worked at BET.I like Dr. Phil's daytime talk show and I used to love Arsenio Hall's late night talk show.

Books:

I am an avid reader of African American romance novels. Here are all of my favorites... except a few covers from the Hideaway series by Rochelle Alers. Still don't want to bother Gee again...I plan to become a contemporary urban romance novelist myself someday.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ ~ My Husband, Tay ~ My Daughter, Tatumn Dior [sleep in Heavenly peace] ~ My (step)son, Jaylen - Tina Turner ~ Ruby Dee ~ Oprah Winfrey ~ My Parents and Brothers
