Quick Sand on a Plateau
![]() |

She always
knew she wanted to be rich and famous; she wanted the world to know her name,
girls to aspire to be her, and boys to want to marry her. She wanted to leave a
legacy of strength, ambition, love, change, power, and wisdom. She knew it was
conceited, but she wanted people across the globe to know her name…for her
principles, her drive, and her humanity. She didn’t want to die without having
left a mark in the sands of time. And best of all, she didn’t want the fame or money for just herself; she wanted it for everyone she knew.

The Review: Think Like A Man
When you put the eccentricity of Kevin Hart, the sexiness of Meagan
Good, Michael Ealy and Romany Malco, feistiness of Taraji P. Henson and
Jennifer Lewis, relatability of Gabrielle Union, Regina Hall and Lala Anthony, a list of
basketballers, a happy white guy and the goofiness of Chris Brown, what do you
have?

The Second Single off J. Cole’s
second album – Born Sinner – was Crooked Smile. As a song, ‘Crooked
Smile’ had an impact message, which stays true to the hip-hop artist’s persona.

Hello you!
As promised,
here is the first episode of our new show – SHADES OF US: THE REVIEW.
Announcing…Shades Of Us: The Review
![]() |

Shades of Us is designed to address social issues
affecting Africa, Africans, and people of African descent, and because of that,
we had a struggle defining how we wanted our platform to work. This is because
we love entertainment here at Shades of
Us; music, movies, poetry, dance, radio, television, production and all
things entertainment. So we did any and everything and we were at sea for
minute. This is especially because we didn’t know how to marry the serious
stuff and entertainment.
But…we solved
the problem!
