MY GIRLS

As I wrap one project with recurring client BET, I’m excited that another is publishing TODAY my latest assignment that I wrote and filed a couple of months ago: http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/07/living/gay-best-friend/.

The editors at CNN.com reached out to me to write this story as I’ve been shopping a book proposal for a few years on the very subject.

I’m currently remixing the game plan for my project (“Big Willies & Amazing Graces: gay men and their best girlfriends”) to include portraits and video (either documentary or on-line viral series [TBD]).

Meanwhile, as I do more on-cam/print pop culture analysis and event hosting, I am EXCITED to celebrate a group of women who – all my life – have been very special to me.

Indeed, my mom and my sister set the sweet tone before I even knew what the melody was. LOL!

But the ladies of whom I am speaking rounded out the metaphorical score of my adolescent and adult years. And through each of them, I HEAR A SYMPHONY.

You’ll meet Natalie and Nichole in this piece, but my AMAZING GRACEs run deep.

I’ll shout out a few of them here (in alphabetical order here, but no order in my heart):

Audrey

Bernie

Carla

Chandra

Elise

Itika

Jakki

 

Lisa

Mara

Patrice

Sidra

Tata

Tish

….and so many more! I LOVE YOU ALL!

 

As always, THANKS to each and every one of you for your support.

And a special shout out to CNN.com for assigning me this piece: I filed something for the site back in the fall of 2011 for its Martin Luther King Jr. Monument coverage (on MLK, Morehouse, and the Morehouse College Glee Club): http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/14/us/mlk-memorial-morehouse-glee-club/index.html.
