conflicting emotions while trapped in a cramped elevator shaft,

"Shirley, Goodness and Mercy" is an invitation to openness, a
bluntly refreshing peek into the way we think when the lights go
down.
"Some people love animals. Some people eat animals. Most people say

Black *****
"'Niggas," Where Are Your Anthems?" is a wonderful collection of

magical tapestry of life as a fly on the wall. Warm and inviting,
"'Niggas"" delves into the psyche of the black man in America,
providing a fascinating portrait of the shadow that lives within
each of us.
