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?

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as we talk to Mamie Gailes about the purpose of her business, the vision of her goals and the legacy of her mother.

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.

See you on the air!!!

Selena Haskins

Exploring the skills and talents of dynamic human beings, take on a forum all it’s own. When God created us, He did so with a purpose and talent in mind. We all have something in this world to contribute and those individuals with God given skills and talents are making their dreams a reality by living their lives with purpose.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” for interesting conversations with author and publisher, Selena Haskins (pictured above).

A native of Washington, DC, Selena enjoys writing books about the basis of life; family, love, and relationships. Her stories covers family dynamics, poverty, abuse, and many of the real issues facing African American communities. By the same token, Selena includes messages of hope, love and forgiveness, which she believes are the qualities to help heal a broken America.

Selena has written three best-selling books, and her new release, Riding the Waves is a sequel that addresses the life of childhood stars and the price of fame and fortune.

Hope you’ll tune in tonight with me for this awesome conversation.

There are lyrical artist popping up everywhere and rushing this generation by displaying their style and lyrical talents with a passion. Many emulate while adding their own flare to their music, while others are just gifted to flow.

Some artist handle the microphone and audience like pro’s and this is what I discovered when I heard and witnessed Val DeGrain, a young artist who graced the stage at an open MIC event, I attended a couple of months ago.

Val just released his new CD “2 cents” on April 20, 2014.

I checked out an ‘open mic’ event a couple of weeks ago where I witnessed raw talent in the making., and was extremely impressed when I sat next to a pretty young woman fiddling around with her guitar. Her mannerism is what impressed me, then I was blown away after she performed.

For the sake of being careful and not revealing too much, she introduced herself as Michi Egger, a guitarist/singer/songwriter, who lives in the NYC area. A native of Pennsylvania, who began studying music at the age of five and as an eleven year old, began working professionally as a jazz/blues guitarist.
 
Michiko Egger released her first CD of original songs when she was sixteen. She is a BMI artist and has her own publishing company, Candygirl Music. Her music is currently being played on radio stations around Pennsylvania. Her fourth studio album, Castles in the Air, is due out in July 2014.
 

I think that my music is sort of a window into my life, or into my head. If you want to know me for who I really am, just listen.”

-Michi

Join me at 8:00 PM tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I explore the incredible gifts and intelligence of Michi, as we talk her Talents, Determination and Drive.
