The choking death of Eric Garner is the latest in the plague of police brutality against African American men.

Garner a 43 year old father of six children, died on the streets of Staten Island, New York as police held him in a choke hold with him pleading for his life.

“I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!” Garner uttered before going completely silent as several officers piled on top of him.

And despite an attempted cover-up by the NYPD, the video of Garner’s death (posted up-top) has gone viral with media outlets reporting this story vigorously as the cops involved are on desk duty awaiting results of a full investigation.

The incident began when Garner, was approached by a plainclothes police officer. The officer was investigating a report that Garner was selling un-taxed cigarettes. Garner denied the charge.

He stood 6′-4″ and just a shade under 400 pounds, Garner raised both fists and told the officer not to touch him. Yet they did.

The NYPD has outlawed the use of choke-holds during arrests, since 2009.

As I’ve always stated before, we all have gifts to share and some of us were trained, ordained or taught to sustain such gifts. When we emanate our parents they pass the torch with these gifts, so that we can continue their legacy in some way or another.

This is the case with Mamie T. Gailes (pictured above), her love of cooking has been passed down from generation to generation. Her grandmother was an excellent cook and so was her mother and she is carrying this torch of talent because of her love for cooking from these women in her life.

Cooking is more than just mixing up ingredients. It’s about sharing my love for food with everyone I meet.

My zeal comes from my Mom (Bessie L. Thomas) she put so much passion into everything that she cooked.

Now it’s my turn to give you the finest, freshest & most flavorful meal that a Chef can serve. 

Mamie catered my very first book signing for my staff and the food was awesome to say the least. She comes from a family with a talent for the kitchen and a creativity in their desired fields of expertise.

Now owner, operator and proprietor of “Mama’s with a Spoon” a full-serviced family owned personal chef and catering business located in Bergen County, NJ. Mama’s specialize in Personal Chef services such as; family reunions, weddings, social events, business luncheons, birthday celebrations, grand-openings and/or any event where food and people come together.

Our mission at Mama’s with a Spoon is to provide each client with fresh food, creative menus, and stylish decor with a commitment to excellence in service, planning and food quality.

Don’t her Southern rolls look good?

What You need to know about family…Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

quotes-for-family

There’s the whole family, that one family, the extended family, the immediate family, the close-knit family and those who make up the family; either way we all have one or we all have some. My extended families have always been close, depending on whose side of the family you’re talking about.

My father’s side of the family was always peace makers, while my mother’s side was all hell takers. Meaning, they’d take you to hell by the way you would be provoked into responding to them. Some of them are loud, wild and bodacious, while my father’s side of the family, were always quiet, easy going and mellow. When my father’s family get together you can expect laughter, a good time and cheers, while from my mother’s side, discord, whispers and tears. My brother would always say, at one of their barbecue’s you don’t know whether to pack a pistol or bring the punch.

Well this weekend, I’ll have the esteemed pleasure of hosting our family reunion here in the great state of New Jersey, where we have relatives traveling from near and far. And despite the frustrations and challenges of bringing everyone together, there’s something I have learned about family.

Joined me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I talk about family… A topic for which we all can relate….And if there is anything you’d like to share about your family, I’ll be taking your phone calls at 1-347-426-3645.
