We should be celebrating the history of our people every single day of the year. There are so many African American men and women who have contributed to our history through the talents and gifts they possess.

Harriet Tubman knew how to maneuver slaves through the underground railroad, just like Madame C. J. Walker was an inventor of her hair care products. Just as African American actresses, such as Hattie McDaniel portrayed the real cooks during the slavery era, the talents of African American woman were the backbones in a kitchen during the war. 

While Slavery and poverty were historical factors that influenced the evolution of southern food and baking. The African slaves that cooked and served generations were the primary creators of southern cooking. They transformed staples of pioneer culture into refined dishes and feasts that now epitomizes southern hospitality.

We’ve come a long way since this era, as with Regina Davis (pictured above), who is influential today as the owner and operator of “Regina’s Sweet Temptations“. A talent giant who creates delectable treats with a vision in her heart and a passion for perfection. A culinary genius with humble beginnings, who learned from an aunt and experienced heartfelt results. Regina’s professionalism and polished presentation is an introduction to a taste that won’t disappiont.

“I first learned the art from my Aunt Cally when I was young and then perfected my skills by preparing delicious treats for my three children over the years. I found that I loved seeing the smiles on my friends faces, when they bit into one of my delicious chocolate chip cookies or admired one of my many creative cupcake designs.” Regina Davis

Regina is adamant about the layout and design of her “treats” telling my administrator “I take so many pictures to get the right one”.

Although her side slogan is the “cupcake lady” her business is more than just cupcakes. Regina has a creative flare to pull you into all that she has to offer; from cakes to cookies to brownies and miniature treats, it’s obvious her creative flare is a gift that she posses.

Bobbi Kristina’s Family Set to Pull Plug On Anniversary of Whitney’s Death?

It is rumored throughout social media and the internet that, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family will pull the plug on Feb. 11 — the 3rd anniversary of her mother Whitney Houston’s tragic death by drowning. Bobbi was found face down and unresponsive (no heart beat, not breathing) in a bathtub at her Roswell home 2 weeks ago.

Bobbi was transferred to Emory hospital after neurologists at North Fulton Hospital told singer Bobby Brown that his daughter was brain dead and there was nothing else that could be done for her.

Page Six reports that family matriarch Cissy Houston, Whitney’s mother, made the decision to take Bobbi off the ventilator at the stroke of midnight on Feb. 11, to “bond mother and daughter for eternity.”

In addition to taking her off the ventilator, all medications (including IV sedatives) and intravenous nutritional support would also be stopped.

But whether this is true or not is purely speculation until Cissy or Bobby Brown confirms the rumors. Personally, I find it very hard to believe. It sounds too theatrical to be true.

“This is the only thing they can agree on — that she’s gone [brain-dead], and there’s nothing more than can be done for her,” a source told the NY Post’s Page Six.

Meanwhile, police are investigating the history of domestic violence between Bobbi and her longtime boyfriend Nick Gordon that may have directly led to Bobbi’s death.

I don’t watch the “Grammy’s” anymore because gone are the days of the real talent and performers such as; Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Natalie Cole, Tina Marie and Luther Vandross just to name a few. So I boycott the show.

But why am I not surprised that the internet is all abuzz over the fact that Beyoncé messed up her rendition of the gospel song “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” from the movie soundtrack “Selma”.

The song was originally performed with raw emotion by Ledisi but Beyonce’s Grammy performance and her opening notes fell flat as she tried and struggled with no effort based on her limited vocal range.

Most social media users agreed that Beyonce’s version failed in comparison to Ledisi’s excellent cover of Mahalia Jackson‘s “Precious Lord” in the movie ‘Selma’.

So why not just have Ledisi perform the song as recorded? Because the Grammy’s chose Beyoncé over Ledisi because Beyoncé is light skinned and fits the white standard view of black beauty.

Sad 😥 isn’t it?

Four days after 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown drowned in a bathtub, her family will allow doctors to remove her from life support, People.com reports.

Whitney Houston’s only daughter was found unresponsive and face down in a bathtub at her Roswell home on Saturday.

Bobbi’s father, singer Bobby Brown, requested her transfer to Emory Hospital in Atlanta after doctors at North Fulton Hospital gave him the grim prognosis that she was brain dead. Bobby reportedly wanted a second opinion from neurologists at Emory.

It is being said that Bobbi Kristina, never accepted the death of her mother Whitney Houston, who ironically drowned in a bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012 after overdosing on prescription meds.

On Wednesday, four days after the 21-year-old was found unresponsive in her home, a doctor told her family that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye,” says a family member.
