Eric Benet – I Told You We’re Not The Same Person

He’s a great storyteller so we run through how he discovered that he’s good looking, how he learned how to sing, how he pulled Halle Berry, and more. He’s a lot of fun to hang with.
I Get Money | Black Wall Street
In 1906, entrepreneurs Ottawa Gurley and J.B. Stradford purchased parcels of government land in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They had dreams of building a thriving Black community, equipped with the same amenities and privileges available to whites. Dubbed Greenwood, it was promoted as a sanctuary where Black people could thrive without fear of racial discrimination. By 1921, Greenwood had become a hub of Black enterprise, with Gurley and Stradford leading the development of a self-sufficient business district. But their successes would be short-lived.
What We Are Loving
Harlem..I wanted to see what the buzz was all about. It has some pretty good cliff hangers. The main character isn’t my fav but I do enjoy the secondary character, the music is nice and it’s shot pretty well, especially for women of color with darker skin tones. I am interested to see how it all wraps up this season.
