Who I B…
"I've always been an underdog. I was born premature, doctors didn't expect me to make it, they told my parents I would be severely retarded and need to be institutionalized. I'm happy they didn't listen. I have a 145 IQ, a bit eccentric, more logical than emotional. I've been called "the dumbest smart person", "a complete waste of intelligence", "extra" and worse by those who have attempted to stilfe my growth. Through it all, I always possessed a knowledge of self. I define me."

Enter the World of La Chica Negra Loca!
Welcome to the Queendom, where the only opinion that matters here is mine. I don’t say that to be harsh, its just that I’ve spend 15+ years in the online game launching a variety of sites, stations and podcasts… and even movements that were for or about others. This isn’t one of them. This is my time. My space.

This is why I <3 Sinead O’Connor:
“I would like to extend my very deepest sympathies to the family and other loved ones of murdered teenager, Treyvon Martin. I am very sad today (and am certain the whole of Ireland is) to learn of poor Treyvon’s terrifying ordeal and horrified by the fact his known and named and admitted killer has not been arrested, despite the crime having taken place a month ago. This is a disgrace to the entire human race. (more…)

Not interviewing Eazy E is one of a handful of regrets I’ve had during my career. He came to St. Louis a few months before it became known that he had full blown aids. I hosted Ruff Clips music video show and Khidar (the cohost) and I both refused to interview him… I was new in the game, still caught up with image. Khidar and I decided to force the other one’s hand by showing up late, forcing the other host to do the interview. I won. Khidar did the interview. Weeks later Eazy died. Years later I realized I lost.
RIP Eazy E.
