It’s Women’s History month and we’re celebrating woman who were taught to have a strong family structure, a love of people, a zest for life, strong work ethics and a thrive to succeed.

Born the eldest of two daughters, she was born and reared into a family destined to succeed. Her developing years as a youngster revolved around her family’s restaurant business. With strong values and solid principles, her mother was the strength and the force that helped her father build a family friendly establishment to this day.

Due to her religious upbringing and her parents strong faith, she and her sister were taught to “Be the best you can be every day and to do the right thing; then you will do good in life and you will find good”.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM. on “Conversations of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” for my special guest RoseMarie Ranuro (pictured above) as we discuss the legacy of her father’s famous eatery “Biggie’s Restaurant” raw bar and tavern.

RoseMarie’s vivacious personality and contagious attitude energizes her to connect with people and find the good in everyone. Along with Biggie’s signature dishes and a family friendly atmosphere, they never disappoint.  

Although Biggie’s success has swelled to five (5) locations; Carlstadt, Ramsey and Hoboken; just to name a few. RoseMarie’s career in nursing coupled with the management of all five (5) sites cane be a challenge but it gives her the opportunity to offer an energy that adds to the businesses continued success.

So don’t forget to tune in to hear what keeps my special guest “Happy as a clam”

We’ll see you on the air.

A Modern Day Lynching… Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah

By popular demand, I will resume last week’s subject this week…”A modern day Lynching” on “Conversations Of A Sistah” tonight. 

Lynching is murder by mob, often by hanging, but also by a burning at the stake or shooting, in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate, control, or otherwise manipulate a specific sector of a population.

Racism in America has set the scene for many injustices since the founding fathers birthed the notion of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The killing of young black men in our society seem to be a modern day lynching however, racism has taken a seat to a more pressing problem in America: a broken justice system.

Some people might have expected to see an increase in the overt lynching and murder of Black men by white extremists under the Obama administration due to the backlash of white right-wing conservative resentment.

In the recent events taken place in Florida, the stand your ground laws ought to be called a Right to Kill for White People laws because that is precisely what they are. Self-defense means nothing when a black person asserts that right. How do black people defend themselves when the justice system is arrayed against them?

Michael Dunn, the Georgia man who shot and killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis after an argument over loud music in Jacksonville, was found guilty on 3 counts of 2nd-degree murder and 1 count of throwing a deadly missile.

But the Florida jury deadlocked on the 1st degree murder count – even after the judge ordered them to deliberate further, declared a mistrial on the 1st degree murder count.

Join me tonight at 8:00 P.M. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I address many of such injustices as being Modern Day lynchings.

In today’s society the idea of what is deemed beauty or beautiful is distorted, leaving many young African American women still struggling with the challenge of their looks. Yes the light skin vs. dark skin colorism is still an issue and conversation which is uncomfortable for some and a curse in thought by many.

In many parts of the world, people are judged not just by their skin color but also by their skin tone. The devaluing of dark-skinned women is still an issue not just in the black community alone but the issue is extremely pervasive in mainstream America as well.

Join me tonight at 8:00 P.M. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” in our continued celebration of Black History month on “Conversations Live” as I welcome Karen Tucker (pictured below), author of the children’s book “Brown Little Me“, a love letter to the little girl inside of her; who struggled with the many issues of identity, fitting-in and self-acceptance.

As an African American woman, Tucker has always had a lifelong battle with understanding, that while having brown skin has so many benefits; there also seems to be resentment for it on so many levels. Ranging from racism to the destructiveness of self hate and complexion complexes, from these struggles “Brown Little Me” came to be.

So tune in tonight and add your two cents to the conversation by calling into the show at 1-347-426-3645. press ‘1’ to speak with the host and access the show at any of the Conversations links in this post.
