Plink,Plink,Plink Watch those Names Drop

There is a bit of truth to the saying "its who you know".
While most people might be humble enough to say "this is my shout out to..." I'm going to keep it real and just straight drop the names of people who are somebody or will someday be somebody and I want part of that history right here on my blog. And yes family/infamous friends, eventually your names will be mentioned as well ( you know I "wuvs" you!)

But right I have to first mention Varian Johnson, friend and published author who called me out on his blog. I met Varian at WOWWS (Words of Wisdom Writers Society, founded by delmetria millener). After reading just the first rough chapter of "Red...", I knew that Varian would someday be a successful, published writer. His ability to convey the thoughts and feelings of an 18 year old misfit is truly uncanny. Best wishes to you,Varian.



Ok in my very first entry I mentioned the name Tahiti. This is a man of many, many roles, father, rapper, artist, filmmaker, editor, writer and more. Tahiti and I have been friends for freakin' ever and he is a trusted creative partner.
In 2001 we produced "Omar's Wedding" a short film about a young woman "Tanisha" played by the incomparable Jerrika Hinton ---> trying desperately to let go of her former beau (played smoothly <----by Chuck Sly of Rubba Road) who is soon to be wed. Also starring in our short was playwright and producer LaTerras R. Whitfield. If the name sounds familiar it because of the hit play "What Men Won't Tell" presented by Marvelous Entertainment. Then there is Pikahsso, since this brothah leaves me speechless, a very rare occurence, you have to see it to believe it yourself. Word is there is a VERB video shoot coming up in November 2005, check his website for more info on who, where, when and the what...
Finally, because I could go on and on with all of the talented people I know, there is C. Stephen Foster, playwright, actor, instructor, and dear, dear friend. Stephen's play "Legends and Bridge" took LA by storm last year and is hopefully headed towards bigger and better things. Stephen honey, "it is BIG".
