The only thing more impressive than the enormous army of police surrounding New Hope Bapist Church was the equally numerous media presence. Since the announcement of Whitney Houston's passing, it seemed the media had worked itself into a frenzy as every aspect of the singer's life was examined. However, one surprising element was the seemingly emotional attachment displayed by some of the

Despite the heavy police presence fans still braved the cold to come together to rememeber Whitney Houston. We walked through the streets of Newarks to find some of Whitney's dedicated fans.

Our day started at dawn, we gathered outside New Hope Baptist in Newark, NJ where Whitney Houston started her singing career that would lead her to international fame. Since the news of her death, fans and loved ones have made this same trek to leave signs, teddy bears, photos and words of encouragement at the place where "the Voice" debuted. Everywhere we looked signs of

For Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share a very special bonus edition of 50 First dates for all my die hard romantics. This was the date I fell in love... It all began with a date with “Mr. Laid Back”, “Sex with a Bartender,” and a new found crew of ultimate wing women! I was at the airport and juggling my laptop and a latte when my eyes met with a cutie across the crowded room. I smiled

Thank God you can't get pregnant from atmosphere, the pure sex appeal of this Asian fusion restaurant/bar set the tone for a seductive night. It was the perfect backdrop for my date with "Handsome" a  recent divorcee with a heavenly smile. We originally met at a happy hour and quickly bonded over our secret love of reality shows. We exchanged numbers and agreed to meet for dinner and

My main wingman cool J Fifty first dates...ok I admit I never actually saw the movie but the idea, the pure adventure of it all seems intoxicating to a reforming serial monogamist like me. After almost a decade of consistent coupledom, I decided to truly try something different; dating for the sake of dating. No promises of ever after, no parental intros, just a series of moments

It's finally starting to sink in that she's really gone... We had gathered to celebrate the arrival of a friend visiting from Kenya when the news came that Whitney Houston had died. We clicked on the television and a feeling of dread begin to build inside me as "I will always love you" softly begin to play. Our jovial celebration was suddenly stunned into silence and our disbelief quickly

One of the projects the Mission team was tasked with was to bring a personal item to give away to the children in Kenya based on something meaningful in your life. I decided to give the children journals!! After all, my writing career began at the ripe old age of 9 when I began keeping a diary of my life. I gave each journal a personal touch by including photos of people I love and that have

Since I had to leave the country a week earlier for a media tour for Wine Origins in Portugal, I invited the mission team over to my house for a last minute briefing and bonding session. I've said it before, but this gathering really confirmed how smart, creative and talented our group is! i can't wait to see the impact we have in Nairobi.

Our Mission Team came up with a variety of creative ways to raise money for the Kenya mission. Marva Gibbs and Kiki Ramsey hosted a night of entertainment at Busboys and Poets Hyattsville that kept everyone chuckling all night. Here's a few highlights from the show.....

Hugh and his Brother really touched my heart, we had a low turnout at Eyes on Africa but these two went above and beyond to help! they even went OUTSIDE and pulled people off the street to tell them about our work in Africa and convinced them to give to the Kenya mission! They called friends, even had the entire kitchen staff to pool their money to donate!!! I was so touched by their support and

After a months of public squabbles with cast mates and a very public east coast beef with Whoopi Goldberg, the infamous Salahis created controversy by skipping the official Bravo TV premeire at the Madison Hotel in downtown in favor of their own private viewing party at EFN. The controversial couple arrived fashionably late to greet an intimate crowd of revelers and media before retreating to

Hailing from Rockford, Illinois, Michelle Williams first found her voice singing in her church’s choir. While attending

Too often, people criticize themselves and call themselves names. Sometimes we even take on the names other people have given us throughout our lives, even if we don't deserve them. We sometimes base our life on those negative traits, whether they're true or not. This is unhealthy, and an overall negative way to live your life.Instead of letting those negative traits get the better of

The Good life Since packing up her laptop a little over a year ago and moving to Washington, D.C., auto/entertainment writer/blogger (and native Detroiter) Dorothy Tene' Redmond has been flying with the jet set. Dorothy recently covered the Porsche Panamera experience during Super Bowl 44 in Miami. "Kelly Rowland , formerly of Destiny's Child , took me for a spin in the four-door Porsche to her

When Audi invited journalist Dorothy Tene Redmond to take a seven-day adventure through Australia, she jumped at the chance. Here’s what happens when a city girl is let loose in the Australian outback! Day 1 Thank God for champagne!

Glam Girl Diana and Dirk Fancy cars, glamour, luxury and an endless sea of "the beautiful people" are the elements that make Miami a symbol of success. So it's fitting that we kicked off the Super bowl weekend with a new metaphor for the good life, the Porsche Panamera. The sheer whip appeal of this sleek sedan caused triple takes and drew crowds of envious gawkers at every stop from Miami to

Kuru F. Daniels of Black Voices called it first. I still remember our conversation at Disney Dreamer's Academy two years ago.

The fabulous island of Turks and Caicos is still one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean. One of my favorite attractions was the 8x10 glamour shot of the former first lady Lisa Ray and former Chief Minister Dr Michael Misick in Providenciales airport that greeted weary travelers upon arrival but alas that treasure is now a mere memory of the past. Still, this low key vacation destination

She's the youngest sibling of one of the most famous faces in the music industry, yet this Houston beauty has created her own unique style and flair that’s decidedly all her own.
