Why I have opened the window!

Amerykah has turned a corner and we should all turn with it. I have thoughts ideas and suggestions but I also have patience and desire for us to be whole and one. I have been speaking a lot lately of the human condition and the generations of Black Americans. i will entertain any and all conversation as long as we can be respectful and grown up. Let the healing begin......

Tuesdays Invitation!


Eve Arden (born Eunice M. Quedens) was born April 30, 1908 in Mill Valley, California. She was an actress best known as a lovable teacher in the old classic “Our Miss Brooks” and more currently as the Principal in the classic musical Grease.

My first introduction to Eve Arden was on the classic “I Love Lucy” when Lucy and company went to Hollywood. Even in the way she delivered her one line cutting Ethyl she stood out. Since then I have seen her in several more films and she has a wit and tongue and cheekiness about her that will endure her to the most harden heart. No matter what role I have seen her in, she has managed to bring the same humor and vulnerability to every role while always playing that role to its height. She was also one of the first women to have her own comedy variety show on television, "The Eve Arden Show". Ms. Arden passed in 1982 of Heart Disease and Cancer. I am sorry that I did not discover her in life but she has left a wonderful bog shoulder legacy behind.

So Eve Arden please accept this invitation to the Dinner party of the year. Your humor, your cleverness, and your mouth are more than welcome!

Tuesdays Invitation!




Joy Behar was born and raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York. She is an actor, comedian, and writer. But is best known for 11 year stint on the view, she and Barbara being the only 2 left of the original host.

I have to admit until Whoopi joined the cast of “The View” last year I never really paid much attention to this show or the host, however as the most important election in American history looms closer and all talk turns to candidates the old adage has never been truer, Politics makes strange bedfellows. Joy has continued to demonstrate a mindset that comes close to my own, she has managed to fight my battles and make my points during the hot topics and rare is the white woman I find that can speak for me.


So Joy Behar, please accept this invitation to the Dinner party of the year. Your opinion, your veracity, and your big mouth are more than welcome!
