MLK: Legacy, Blessings and Reflection

A couple of years ago myself and and events promoter in the DC area created a magazine called MUSINGS. The first issue centered around Legacy... What will you leave your descendants once you transitioned from this earth? We posed the question because some of our peers hadn't given extensive thought about what their mark would be on the world. The response ranged from finances to green and livable communities. This week the long overdue monument for Martin Luther King Jr. will be unveiled, a champion for peace. This week I have really reexamined the Legacy I will leave. It is growing and changing daily but for sure it is in the works.

Special thank you to Charneice Fox Richardson for joining us in the parlor to discuss The MLK Streets Project. We are excited for her endeavor and look forward to attending this weekend after the unveiling!

Happy to have been your DIVA for the day, Kimberly C. Gaines. Support the Arts check out the playlist below and buy the artist's music!

The Past & the Present are for the Future

Thursday August 18th, 2011

Recently I was fortunate enough to visit and fellowship with some family members who have been separated from my family for most of our lives. I was totally awe struck by the similarities, like-mindedness, and sheer love this part of the family gave to me and got from me. So, back home I decided to dedicate this show to knowing the past and present in order to move ahead towards a bright future.

With this show I reached out to a community mental health professional, Tracy Stubblefield, LICSW to help provide some perspective on what are some of the journeys we can take when we are addressing our pasts, presents, and futures. I thank her for her time, her honesty, and her willingness to share with our audience today. Sit back in the parlor, kick your feet up, listen in and be here with us now. My hope is this music and talk will heal some of this today.

Articulation Summer

July 14, 2011 Show


With the heat just upon us I thought it would be appropriate for us to explore just how Summer is spelled out, that's right S-U-M-M-E-R. The songs heard today on Sophie's Parlor will begin with one of those letters in show I like to call Articulation Summer. Meaning just what does it take for a women to be in a summertime frame of mind. Looking forward to your calls,

Andrea, Diva of the Day
