This is premier week and I am loving the new show on Fox called The Minority Report staring Megan Good.  She plays a metro police detective Lara Vega.  She is a cop racing to stop the worst crimes in 2065 before they happen with a man who is haunted by the future.  Wow, talk about futuristic show.  The future looks amazing.  Meanwhile, it's nice to see her back on television.  This is a good role for Megan Good and the story line for this series will keep you intrigued and coming back on Monday nights on Fox.   Her cast mates are Stark Sands as Dash is haunted by the future cops. Her co-workers  Wilmer Valderrama as Will Blake, Li Jun LI as Akeela work deligently to solve the murders.  While the twins siblings of Dash played by Nick Zano as Arthurnd, and Laura Regan as Agatha.  This is a great cast line up that I am looking forward to watch during this Fall season....

Her Stolen Pride , the true story about civil rights activist Mamie King Chalmers written by her eldest daughter Lasuria K. Allman.  She would spend 26 years fighting for her mother's stolen identity, stolen pride, stolen experiences, and rightful place in history. Lasuria would not stop with the first book, but she would continue to tell her mother's story in Her Stolen Pride II and Pride Restored.    Book cover: Her Stolen Tribe I know of you are wondering, who is Mamie King Chalmers?  She is the young woman in all the pictures from the Civil Rights Movement on the front lines.  Mamie King Chalmers was hosed by the Birmingham Fire department and attacked by dogs as you can see in the many pictures caputred by the photographer.  We all have seen these pictures during black history month, in civil rights documentaries, and even in magazines, and TV specials. The photographer Charles Moore sold these famous photos to Time Magazine. Phot...

On Sunday, we went to see the #1 movie at the box office, The Perfect Guy starting Saana Lathan, Michael Ealy, and Morris Chestnut.  It was a stunning performance by Saana Lathan and Michael Ealy.  To see her in a take charge, stand your ground, and fight was awesome.  Now, Michael Ealy played the perfect guy who was smart, fine, and psychotic is the word I will use for his role.  It was nice to see him play this type a role because he usually plays the good guy.  What can I say about Morris Chestnut?  He always shines and in his role he stood up to Carter Duncan.  This was a love story with a twist of suspense and drama.  It will keep you on your edge of your seat and even had us jumping a few times.  Carter was charming, he paid attention to detail, and he even past the girlfriends test. He was too good to be true.   The IT (computer expert) make you want to think twice about dating a guy who is extremely ...

Well, its official the kids are back in school.   It’s a new school year for your babies going into kindergarten, junior high school, and high school.   For some students it will be an adjustment and it will even be an adjustment for parents; especially for parents with little ones going into kindergarten.   They may cry and for some they may not and leave the parents with tears that their little one is a big girl or big boy as they wave good bye.   The first day of school is so special and such a memorable day.   I remember the first day my daughter went to Kindergarten.   I was nervous about her riding the school bus and getting lost that I had to be there on the first day.   I think most employers expect new parents with little ones going to school for the first time to take the day off.   It’s an emotional day for us parents when our baby goes off to school for the first time.   Has the teacher had to reassure you that your son ...

Today was a perfect day to go see War Room , on Labor Day.   The movie was directed by Alex Kendrick.   This movie was powerful in so many ways and it touched my heart to see how your elders can teach another married woman how to find God, love God, and most important teach her how to pray.   We as women take on so many roles that sometimes we allow life to overtake our prayer life and time with God.   There were so many things that I loved about this movie especially Miss Clara played by Karen Abercrombie.   She portrayed this role perfectly that it reminded me of good friend.   Miss Clara’s advice to married women and her powerful prayer at the end made me want to go home and clean out a closet to make it my “ War Room ”.   Photo Credits Source: Tri-Star Pictures/Facebook Group War Room This is not just a movie for black families or black couples; it’s a movie for all believers , all races, and non-believers.   Not to give too mu...
