Hey ‘Conversations Family’….I know y’all hate me because I’ve been neglecting this blog, neglecting my readers and lacking on story gossip and updates. Please forgive me, I will address my blogging shortcomings at another time.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. on “Conversations Of A Sistah“ via blog talk radio, as I welcome my special guest, Mr. Kenneth L. Osborne (pictured above).  

Best selling author of “When Mama is Daddy” and now “The Father Factor“. Dr. Osborne is a consultant and expert in addiction treatment/behavioral health, corrections and risk management services. And he returns to “Conversations Of A Sistah” to sit down with me and discuss his newly released title.

See you on the air!

How do you deal with hurt? on the next “Conversations Of A Sistah”

We remember all too well the scene from “Waiting to Exhale” when Bernadine “Bernie” Harris (one of the 4 characters in the film), abandons her own career dreams and desire of having a catering business to raise a family, and support her husband, who leaves her for a white woman. She then vents her hurt and anger out on John (her husband) by burning his clothes and car and selling off all of his personal items for a $1.00.

This gave Angela Bassett’s character a sense of satisfaction. She felt partly vindicated and somewhat satisfied having burnt her cheating husband’s belongings to smithereens’. A clear indication that Bernadine was hurt and hurt feelings can prompt brooding or resentment and can sometimes lead to an even greater emotional distress.

These were some of her ways of dealing with the hurt and was the most talked about scene when the movie released in 1995.

But…how do you deal with hurt?

Join me ‘LIVE’ on the air Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio, as I delve into this topic.

You can access the shows by using any of the “Conversations link” in this post!

Jesus take the wheel, Jenner graces Vanity Fair in DRAG!

Jenner was photographed in drag by famed photog (and practicing lesbian) Annie Liebovitz for the cover of the June 9 issue.

Vanity Fair should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting mental illness for profit and financial gain. Wearing a wig, lingerie, and tucking your male parts does not make a man a woman.

As promised, Bruce Jenner has made her first appearance as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair, which was photographed by Annie Leibovitz. In the cover shot, Jenner introduces herself: “Call me Caitlyn.”

In the accompanying story in the magazine’s July issue, Jenner talks to Buzz Bissinger, writer of the acclaimed Friday Night Lights, about why she decided to transition, noting the immense regret she would have felt had she lived her entire life without making a change. “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life.?’”

Author Vincent Ellis White on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Due to the “father factor”, affecting most of the social issues in America today-from police brutality, to youth delinquency and academic failures-breakdowns in the system have become all too prevalent. This underscores the fact that children with involved fathers do better across every statistic on child well-being than their peers in father-absent homes. 

Author of “Finding Chris My Father”, A New Book About Absentee Fathers That’s changing Thousands of Lives. A stable at-home dad was something yearned for by author/advocate Vincent Ellis White (pictured above) when he was a kid. Seeing how it led to rage and rebellion in his own life, he now focuses on mentoring, healthy family advocacy, & strengthening families by way of creating awareness and open dialogue to help address similar problems faced by youths dealing with the father factor.

The Richmond, Virginia native has become an inspiration to a rapidly growing audience with a book and a stage play that has made even hardened ex-cons stand up and weep. The realization that the frequently incarcerated father he knew, troubled, or not, was not his blood-kin filled his teenage years with anger and confusion.

Tune into “Conversations Of A Sistah” on Blog Talk Radio at 6:30 p.m. tonight as I welcome the author and discuss his new book “Finding Chris My Father” .
