I am LISTENING to my interview with Karyn Parsons of SweetBlackBerry.org. Karyn Parsons, best known as the character “Hilary Banks” on the long-running television show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” created the Sweet Blackberry foundation after being inspired by the true tale of a determined slave and the remarkable lengths he would go to in order to find his freedom.

While growing up, Karyn’s mother, a librarian in the Black Resource Center of a library in South Central Los Angeles, would often share stories with her daughter of African-American accomplishment. Among these was the true story of Henry “Box” Brown, a slave who mailed himself to freedom. Henry was shipped, by wagon, boat and train, from Virginia to Philadelphia. When the box was opened, he became a free man.

The story left an indelible impression on Karyn.

I am absolutely blown away as I’m currently LISTENING to my former modeling student, Krystal Kadar’s music. She is a phenom! Her album drops this summer and I will be first in line to get it. Check out her beautiful voice and soulful music at Reverberation. She says, “Recording is an art form in itself. It certainly takes a lot of patience. It’s one thing to hear yourself sing live, then you hear yourself recorded and all of sudden you’re all sorts of critical. You long to have the ability to just listen to the song as if you’d never heard it before.” My favorite track is “Mama!” It’s a melodic movement that stops you in your tracks and makes you remember moments of your childhood. Kudos for Kadar!

I just got enthralled in WATCHING a 2007 series called, The Kill Point on Netflix starring, John Leguizamo, Donnie Wahlberg, Steve Cirbus, Michael Hogan, Michael Hyatt, Leo Fitzpatrick, Christine Evangelista, Tobin Bell, Frank Grillo, and Jeremy Davidson. The Kill Point is 8, edge of your seat episodes about an Iraq war veteran Mr. Wolf (John Leguizamo) leads his ex-platoon on a bank heist in this dramatic series. When the robbery goes wrong, the soldier is forced to take hostages, setting the stage for a standoff with police negotiator Horst Cali (Donnie Wahlberg). Neither man is inclined to back down and both are willing to go all the way in a match of wits and guts in which the stakes keep getting higher. This is a series definitely worth revisiting and reviewing! Check it out on Netflix for free!

I’m reading A Woman’s War by Captain Gail Harris with Pam Mclaughlin. When Gail Harris was assigned by the U.S. Navy to a combat intelligence job in 1973, she became the first African American female to hold such a position. Her 28-year career included hands on leadership in the intelligence community during every major conflict from the Cold War to Desert Storm to Kosovo, and most recently at the forefront of one of the Department of Defense’s newest challenges: Cyber Warfare. At her retirement, she was the highest ranking African American female in the Navy.
