Sistah's on the MOVE

I am an avid supporter of my sistahs that are not only doing good things in the African American community but across the country. I had the pleasure of meeting Gabrielle Lewis in 2010 while judging the District "Miss Black and Gold" Pageant for the Association of TN Alphamen. Her spirit is resounding and she is a dynamic christian young woman in all the sense. She went on to win that title and competed at regional competition. Now she has the pleasure of being the reigning
"Miss Black Memphis USA 2013".





















She will present her first program "The Queen In YOU" this week on the campus of Washington State University with another phenomenal sister (which I featured last year in "Sistah's Write") Katha D. Blackwell relationship expert and author of "Not Another Victim". Gabrielle will host a panel featuring Mrs. Blackwell and a group of gentlemen from Washington State University and the community. The topics will range from different forms of relationship issues, busting up myths, and the answer to our daily question of "What men/women really want?".

If you are in the area PLEASE come out and SUPPORT this event and these Sistahs!!

Tyree became a fan of classic fil...
