I've made a promise to myself to post more than I have in the past. I'm thankful for the encouragement from my close friends and family members who push me to be better. I spend much time helping others and never taking the time to make sure that "Sweetlocs" gets taken care of. I have allowed for my special place here to take abuse and not post as I had envisioned. But there is no time to cry over spilled milk. Just wipe it up and keep it moving.

I've been going over the direction of where I would like to take the site. From SweetlocsTV to Sweetlocs merchandise and so much more.

Playing "Tomorrow" by Tevin Campbell this morning to encourage myself. And hopefully it inspires the hearts of others out there as well.

Supporting my friend producer Ahmed Sirour's entry into John Legend & The Root's remix competition for "Shine." I love the arrangement of this more than the original track. Continued blessings and success to you Ahmed!! In your corner 100%. Asking everyone to please take a listen and vote for him!

I love a good promo. I'm beginning to have a fetish for vintage items. Adding Deliciously Vintage out of Chicago to my list of stores to visit next time I'm there. Video promo was done by the folks at Impakt Studio.

Here was one of the highlights of the evening with Kelly Price, Marsha Ambrosius, Jill Scott and Ledisi covering Nina Simone's "Four Women." I'm a fan of Nina Simone's and was truly impressed with the performance at the first televised Black Girls Rock awards on BET.  I commend BET for partnering up with the foundation to televise the awards. I hope that a future generation was inspired and realize their potential.
