WatchJust in time for #NYFW!
I’m super stressed and busy right now trying to package a new show, go on vacation for GRAMMY Week, and juggle my team across two offices….but I wanted to stop for ONE MINUTE to share the first episode of the second season of my show “How I Made It.” It features supermodel Alek Wek.
I’m the executive producer for all our shows, which means I...
Detroit is over 80% black...

but that Clint Eastwood commercial, talking about Detroit rising from the ashes, had one black guy in it…
P.S. Bradshaw did not "sit the touchdown"...

he was trying to stop at the 1 yard line and lost his balance. They didn’t want the Pats to get the ball back.
Stupid facebook girls pretending they know anything about football.
Now I am going to sleep for real this time…
Thank you LOL!

I'm hiring: Interns, Producers and Editors...
I’m looking for interns, producers and editors for my department over at my job (new site coming soon!).
If you aren’t aware, I’m the Managing Director of a production studio for a new media company and I manage production staff/interns for our LA and NYC offices. I need to find some people as soon as possible (interns are ongoing).
Some of the NYC positions may be able to...
reroutedreams asked: does this mean you've interviewed amber riley recently? and if so, will it be featured anywhere? (if so, you'll be making me and many of her other fans very happy! she doesn't get enough props.)

First Viola, then Steve McQueen, now George Lucas blasts Hollywood. A change gon’ come? (Thanks, Rob)
I always knew George Lucas was That Dude. I could tell by the way I used to see him tailgate at USC (Fight On!).
Now it’s time for me to do my part to support this film, Red Tails. *sends some emails*

…Are supposed to live forever. They’re supposed to be your safety net. And be invincible.
I’m not ready for mine to show their mortal side.
Not now. Not yet.

Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera →
Funny the difference a year makes. Last year I thought I would never sell my DSLR. Today I’m wondering why I didn’t try to sell it sooner.
I have similar debates about my car.
I’m working on my attachment to objects. If I can’t give something away or sell it without giving it a second thought, then I have an unhealthy attachment to said object. Gotta work on getting rid...

Doing this! Today!
unfuckyourhabitat:
20 minutes is not a long time. Marathon cleaning sessions, while satisfying, are exhausting and make you never want to clean ever again. 20 minutes at a time, once or a few times a day, is a sustainable way of keeping your habitat unfucked.
PUT IT AWAY. Probably 75% of our mess is made up of…
The Divyn Lair: The Unemployment Story →
Been there. Done that. Best thing to ever happen to me. I look at money entirely different now.
divynthought:
I’ve been unemployed for two months today. It hasn’t been easy. Opening bills that you know you can’t pay and getting harassed regularly by Sallie Mae’s evil minions gets extremely annoying and frustrating after a while. But honestly, I wouldn’t trade this time in my life for anything....
Finding That Perfect Black Man
Today I did some casting for a show I am launching on MadameNoire soon. It’s a show featuring Black men of all kinds of backgrounds, mindsets and experiences.
From 9 am to 8 pm today, I spoke with 21 black men at length about their lives, their love lives and their opinions.
My takeaways:
There are some really good Black men out there. I mean, more than the media and twitter...
