Tribute to Natalie Cole- Unforgettable Angel

The beautiful and insatiable Natalie Cole passed away on New Years Eve.  It was a shocked of disbelief and like most who love the talented singer thought there was a press mistake.  However, New Years  Day when I saw it announced in Essence article and Aretha Franklin tribute, it hit me.  It made you reflect about what you loved about her music and you found yourself reminiscing.  I have serveral songs that I grew up on that I can still sit and listen to over and over again.  Here are a few of my favorite songs(I love all her songs) that I use to sit by the radio and sing along when they came on.
  1. Love on My mind
  2. I am Catching Hell
  3. Unforgettable
  4. Pink Cadillac
  5. Someone That I use to Love
What's your favorite song or songs?  How many remember this song?
I must have sang this song a thousand times!


I regret that I missed her performance last February (2015) at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.  I kept telling myself I am going to see her and never got around to it due to conflit with another event.  It's times like these that we must do and go where we say because you never know when an angel will be called home.  Undoutly, Natalie Cole will truly be missed, but her music will never be forgotten.

The Injustice System in America toward Black & Brown men

The current judicial system in America is supposed to be justice for all. However, over the years we have seen injustice to the brown and black men.  Recently, I watched the horrific Netflix series about the young boys from Cental Park. Last night, I watched Oprah Winfrey interview the cast and the exonerated five men who lost years off their childhood for a crime they didn’t commit. Their story was very hard to watch I must admit because I have brothers, nephews, and male cousins. What these young men experienced as a child by a system that was supposed to protect them violated them and their rights in so many ways unimaginable. I agree with Ava Duvernay that it’s not about holding the persons responsible like the prosecution and police officers accountable , its a judicial system that failed these five kids at the time. It’s truly heart breaking story and my heart goes out to these men and their families. What they had to endure and what they loss can not be replaced by any amount of
