Image credit: Amazon.com I remember Regina King in her first role on the sitcom, 227. There weren't a lot of minority families on TV in the 1980's and the Jenkins were one of my favorites. (My absolute favorite TV family is the Hubbards on All My Children.) Most of my favorite 227 episodes focused on Brenda (Regina King), including… Continue reading My #WCW – Regina King

My #WCW – Glamour Magazine
For the first time in around 20 years, there was not a new issue of Glamour magazine in my mailbox this month. Glamour ended it's print edition with the January 2019 issue.

If you remember the fashion of the mid to late 1990’s, the very thin body was in. It was… Continue reading My #WCW – Jennifer Lopez
My #WCW – Maya Angelou
I am going to try out a new kind of post discussing my #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday - a woman crush is one of my heroes or a person I admire). When I was 11 years old, I was a girl without a hero. For a portion of an autobiographical essay I had to write,… Continue reading My #WCW – Maya Angelou
