AN OPEN-LETTER TO TAMEKA FOSTER-RAYMOND…

Dear Tameka,
I read your Global Grind blog yesterday. It was interesting. You made some great points about the well-orchestrated machine that is ‘fame’.

YOU KNOW WHAT, ROLL WITH IT…(Clearing out the E-Mail Inbox)

Wassup ya’ll, 
I know it’s been a while since I broke format and just spoke to everyone directly, (Yup, still no vlog – I know, I’m a loser)…Anywhoo, I wanted to take a sec and address somethings.
