    NYC Opera - Margaret Garner 2 years ago

    Attended my second Opera of my life last night to see Margaret Garner. The story is of a slave who kills her children so they will not grow up in slavery.

    POWERFUL.

    Good week.. 2 years ago

    Great thing about NYC.

    I went to the African Film Festival on Thursday supporting a friend and his movie which is called Death of 2 Sons.

    Check it out: www.deathoftwosons.com

    Also, I went to see the movie, Perfect Stranger. My friend is Halle Berry’s body part double. We were MAD because she was not credited in the film but she did get a CHECK from the movie.

    I also was in Harlem for Bible study. So, this was a good and productive week!
