Are You Being Celebrated or Tolerated?

December 13, 2011

I recently picked up Tyrese Gibson’s book, “How to Get Out of Your Own Way,” and must admit my initial skepticism. I was certain this would be another self-edifying ghostwritten rant with the sole purpose of increasing publicity.

August 20, 2011

“We need to give people what we rarely get” – Frankie Mazzapica I am overwhelmed by the desperation I see in the eyes of my audiences with each trip.

August 6, 2011

“If people are not on your path, then they’re in your way” – Summer Sanford We graduated college together. So, when we met again about six years later, it was a loud and boistrous reunion.
