One of the accusers, who were involved in the Bishop Eddie Long sex scandal, published a new book that details their alleged abusive relationship.

Centino Kemp (pictured above), is one of the five accusers who claims Long, an Atlanta-based mega church bishop, had an abusive gay relationship with him when he was a teenager.

The five accusers and Long, who has denied the allegations, settled out of court but Kemp decided to speak out in his new book “First Lady” which was co-written by T. Benson Glover. The tell-all biography is currently Amazon’s eight most popular non-fiction book for Kindle, the websites’ e-reading device.

Kemp, 22, was not a member of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, which Long headed in Atlanta, nor was he on any of the lawsuits against the bishop.

Aside from the scandal, he was born on May 7, 1989 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and raised in the Bahamas. Kemp is known for being a promiscuous character and has appeared in several minor film roles and leading roles in dramatic plays such as; ‘Why do fools fall in love’, ‘Dear Liza’, ‘AIDS’ and ‘Don’t be stupid’ in the Bahamas. Centino is one of the most determined, original, genuine and talented young men to hail from the Bahamas.

Tune in tonight at 8:00 P.M. on “Conversations of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as my special guest Centino Kemp discusses his book and his alleged affair with Eddie Long.

The Grilled Chicken Palace in Hillside, NJ

It’s been a while since I featured a food post and I thought I’d share with you my venture to the Grilled Chicken Palace on Hillside Avenue in Hillside, NJ over the weekend.

Owned by this Sistah I went to High School with, she runs a pretty impressive take-out joint to satisfy your every taste bud. A friendly staff of professionals, who are “on point” and courteous, I was shocked when we walked in and were asked “If it was our first time there?” and when we replied “Yes“, we were told we were going to get a taste test. Well the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!

This is not a soul food restaurant in my opinion, the food had more of a Caribbean flair. They had everything but the kitchen sink on the menu; from rice and beans, to condoles and rice, from collard greens to a stir fried mixed vegetables of cabbage, broccoli, zucchini and carrots.

The home of a variety of chicken and I don’t eat meat but you can wrap your appetite around her Palace chicken, curry chicken, pineapple chicken or drunken chicken, just to name a few; each meat had its own flare. And the choices of fish are endless, from the Terriyaki grilled salmon to the lobster and shrimp pasta with spinach. The menu is ever-changing and “all of that” with a big fat bag of chips!

You can “top your meal off” with any of her desert selections; “Red Velvet cake” “Sweet potato cheese cake” “Coconut cake” or the ‘Chocolate chip mouse cake”.

With a full serviced staff, an awesome chef and a packed house, you won’t go wrong to satisfy your cravings, so bring your appetite because this place is “off the hook!” and sure to please.

I wanted to feature the owner and former school mate as a guest on “Conversations Of A Sistah” during “Women’s History Month” but she’s too shy to pull it off….so you’ll just have to visit the restaurant and have the “best food experience” for yourself.

If you’re ever in Hillside, NJ make your way to Hillside Avenue because The Grilled Chicken Palace is way more than just chicken but it lives up to its name.

Chris Christie looks to be in the CLEAR!

The embattled New Jersey Governor is so relived to know that he has been exonerated for any involvement in the bridgegate scandal.

So this simply means two things people: his two staffers who were the closest to him (Bridget Kelly and Bill Stephien) will be the fall guys for the governor just as they’ve protected his directives to keep him out of involvement on a paper and electronic trail. So now Chris Christie believes he’s all set to proceed with a 2016 presidential run.

Christie stated in a recent interview with Dianne Sawyer’s that “In his opinion voters still have a lot of respect for him – especially in Iowa” where the first Republican presidential primary will be held in 2016.

I think Chris Christie is tripping on his pride and floating off his ego, if he thinks he will be the republication nomination in 2016.

As a matter of fact, I think the REPUBLICANS ARE DONE!!!! With a defiant congress and a full republican senate, who are out of touch with struggling American people, who are 3.1 million strong unemployed, Chris Christie’s party don’t have a chance.

Are there any women of character, courage and committment? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

In my conclusion of Women’s History month, I have to ask the question; are there any women of character, courage and commitment left? Why are these young girls looking to mentors they cannot physically touch to demonstrate character? And these are not positive mentors so to speak.

Instead of looking to women in their families and communities as exemplary role models, these young ladies are NOT looking past what they see on TV. When they need real positive, God fearing women who can realistically impact their lives.

Ladies, can you reflect on your own life – are you living a life that you would be proud to share?

Join me tonight at 8:00 P.M. on Conversations of A Sistah via Conversations Live as I talk about recognizing the character, commitment and courage of the woman in the mirror or the women in your life.

Can’t wait to see you on the air!

What is going on with Whitney Houston’s daughter?

Bobby Kirs

The recently married Bobbi Kristina looks to be spiraling down the same ill-fated road her mother Whitney traveled. And with a boat load of money, a rebellious attitude and no solid foundation to stand on, who’s going to save her? Where are these people in her life that should care enough about her to intervene? To ensure history does not repeat itself.

I really didn’t want to talk about this however, it’s obvious Whitney Houston’s only child by R&B singer Bobby Brown is strung out on drugs. I believe Bobbi Christina and her mom got high together which is why she was taught to keep her mother’s secret, later known to the world. This is why Bobbi Kristina doesn’t have a strong relationship with her only living grandmother, Cissy Houston.

The adversary is real people and without spiritual knowledge and intervention, he will take out an entire family. At this point this child is beyond prayer, her appearance alone is a call for action!
