Conversations Of A Sistah

He’s the first democratic mayor in New York city after a twenty year republican reign.

He has the perfect platform, the perfect voice and a beautiful biracial family in these ever-changing tough economic times.

Bill de Blasio was joined by his family onstage to deliver a victory speech at the Park Slope Armory YMCA after winning the New York City mayoral election last night. de Blasio proclaimed his landslide victory a mandate for his liberal agenda and a change in course after two decades of Republican rule at City Hall.

People are tired and fed up and they want change as de Blasio held a commanding lead of 74% to 24% — the largest margin of victory by a non-incumbent in any mayor’s race in city history.

The first lady of New York is an African-American woman.

Washington has Michelle Obama and New York has Chirlane McCray.

Nearly seven out of 10 voters said the city needed to move in a new direction from Bloomberg’s policies, according to the survey conducted by Edison Research. And among those wanting change, de Blasio triumphed, capturing 85% of their votes.

At 52, de Blasio is one of the youngest men elected mayor of New York. And as such, he also represents a generational break from Bloomberg, a 71-year-old billionaire Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent who had charted his own unique course for the city.

Bloomberg’s reign is over, there’s a new mayor in town and his name is Bill!

Law Enforcement, Mall shooting, Violence

Gunman opens fire at Garden State Plaza Monday Night

November 5, 2013 The ReadyWriter

People fled, dropped their shopping and ran out of the Garden State Plaza in complete pandemonium as a gunman carrying an assault rifle, walked in and fired shots inside of the largest mall in Bergen County.

Clad in a black leather jacket and a biker helmet, the gunman stalked hallways firing at least seven shots before he is believed to have fled the mall leaving law enforcement officers scrambling, officials said.

Numerous witnesses described the scene as frightening and chaotic while people scrambled for safety as the gunman slowly made his way through the mall, which is located at the intersection of Route 17 and Route 4, near the Garden State Parkway in Paramus, NJ.

Police in Paramus called in SWAT units, and other local officers from surrounding cities and within minutes of the initial reports the mall’s parking lot was swarming with police cars and SWAT buses.

So far no reports of anyone being injured and the gunman is still at large.

Gabrielle Union talking “mad shit” in December issue of Essence Magazine

November 3, 2013 The ReadyWriter

It is always best to remain humble and silent in any given high-profile relationship, especially when that relationship is very public and a tad-bit scandalous. For some reason Gabrielle Union hasn’t gotten that memo yet.

In the December issue of Essence magazine the Mary Jane actress states in a cryptic statement:

“There’s this intense desire for us all to be chosen by a man, or a job, or chosen for fame, whatever. But when you’re in the public eye and you’re not chosen, the rejection feels public. So to cover the wound, you attack the person who is chosen.” –

But what good is it to be chosen by a man who’s ultimately choosing other women behind your back? Is Gabrielle Union delusional or blindingly refusing to accept the truth for what it is? Either way, she’s sounding a bit cocky in her relationship with Miami Heat baller, Dwayne Wade, who recently gifted her with an NBA championship ring for her birthday.

As for her character Mary Jane, she states: “It would be easy to label Mary Jane a freak…but enjoying sex doesn’t make you a ho,”

No …but having sex with a smorgasbord of multiple men does!

A woman in North Dakota, plans to give a sealed letter to any overweight children who ring her doorbell for “tricks or treats” today. She will then instruct the children to give the sealed letter to their parents.

In the letter, the woman plans to tell the parents that they are acting irresponsibly by sending their children out to seek candy when they are already overweight.

The letter, which was emailed to her local radio station, reads in part:

“You [sic] child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season.

My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits.”

This woman who will only identify herself as Cheryl said “she just wants to send a message to the parents that their kids are really overweight and how it’s really irresponsible for parents to send them out looking for free candy just because all the other kids are doing it,”

‘How desperate are you for a ring?’ Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

October 30, 2013 The ReadyWriter

300 sandwiches

Let’s face it, a lot of women dream of being married even if the fantasy is all about the ring and a fairytale ceremony. Some women can’t live without a man and can’t fathom life without a significant other.

Like for example, Stephanie Smith (pictured w/her boyfriend above), who is making headlines in the blogoshphere for pressuring her white boyfriend into proposing to her. And because Stephanie’s boyfriend loves sandwiches, he told her “Honey, you’re 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring!”.

Stephanie’s boyfriend is a gourmet cook and loved the first sandwich she ever made for him so much so that he declared, when he gets 300 sandwiches from her, she’ll get her engagement ring. Therefore, Stephanie promised to make 300 sandwiches for her boyfriend Eric if he will put a ring on her finger, so she’s going for it.

Does Stephanie’s stunt reek of desperation? Is Eric’s love for Stephanie not enough to put a ring on it?
