Janelle Monáe, Girl from Another Planet

Janelle Monáe is an extrememly talented vocalist whose imagination and style is revolutionary. I first fell in love with this artist when I saw her perform in 2008 at the Fox Theatre in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia with the Atlanta Ballet in the production "Big" (The collaboration revealed by OutKast member Antwan “Big Boi” Patton). Personally my favorite song of her's is called Sincerely Jane, her songs have such a passionate message of enlightening yourself and to challenge others to give back to the community. I love her because she is a pop artist with a strong message that blends Judy Garland and Prince wrapped in one! Her management has included The Wondaland Arts Society/Purple Ribbon Record Label/and now currently she is signed to Bad Boy Records Entertainment. Check out further information on the link provided and remember to check out "Many Moons"-Janelle Monáe, I promise you will not be disappointed! Enjoy the revolution of the new sound of music as she reinvents what it means to truly be a performing artist! http://www.badboyonline.com/artist_bio.php?artId=1038970

Chris Richardson

This triple threat dancer, singer, and actor (and models for Elite too!) can do it all. He is a personal friend of mine and like the older brother I never had. Chris Richardson has done appearances on shows like One Tree Hill and Army Wives just to name a few. Look for him in the sky because he is a definite STAR!

Idris Elba with the beautiful and talented Thandie Newton

Idris Elba
This British Actor is a rising star that we hear rumors of possibly being considered for the new "Black James Bond" Movie.

Johan Hill is his name and comedy he does very well. This actor/comedian is so funny in Superbad and in the new movie Funny People.

MICHAEL CERA
AGE 19
This guy is awesome he is well known from his movies Arrested Development, Juno and one of the funniest high school graduation movies to date SUPERBAD...which is a personal favorite of mine.

Hugo Boss Spring/Summer Line 2009

The new Spring/Summer 2009 Line of Hugo Boss is amazing. Hugo Boss takes men's high-end fashion to fantastic heights. Finally men as well as women have something to scream about when walking into the department stores. Or should I say smirk about since we men like to "play-it-cool", which seems to be the whole theme of the Hugo Boss Collection...Smart, Sophisticated, and Sleek.

Poverty In America

Poverty in America and the conditions of many low-income communities are frighteningly being ignored and overlooked. Many homeless individuals are regarded as subhuman second-class citizens, but what makes a man less then a man? Is it his skin tone, what he wears, or is it how much money he possesses. It was only about 50 years ago when Colored, African descendants, Negros, Black,etc...were considered second-class citizens. However now that Colored individuals seem to have the same rights by law as any other citizen in America, prejudice views have seeped into a new face of wrongful hate. I am personally tired of seeing others turn their noses up to a struggling human being that may not have much to offer. I think the best think one can do in this life is to help someone else in need that can do nothing for you. Remember a life is priceless so treat others with dignity and love we are all connected and we are all apart of one another..."When you find yourself in touch with nature you find yourself in touch with the ALL..."

!!!!!Graduation Day!!!!

May 23th, 2009 was officially my last day as a High School Senior and my very First day as an Honor Graduate of Miller Grove High School and a first year freshmen at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts). I am overjoyed with sadness and happiness as I close one chapter and set forth on a new period in my life...I have come to the realization that this is not the end but rather the beginning. Although there will be times when I fall it is the comeback that means most of all.
