What We Said…

Last night we had our 5th Edition of “That’s What We Say” on Blog Talk Radio. A show where 5 of us from the “blogosphere” get together via phone once weekly hailing from Harlem, Boston, DC, & Atlanta to discuss the issues that matter to us most: politics, pop culture, sex/relationships, & anythting else relevant – we cover it all. We take callers & have a chat room going (my fave part).  We give you our “week’s picks”.  I must say (and yes, i’m biased) it’s absolutely fabulous! (One of the many clever ideas that our organizer/co-host, media-savvy-obsessed queen, Leigh, of Leighdav.com conjured up.)

We pre-post “what we will say” @ http://thatswhatwesay.posterous.com/ so you can join in too…

Plug in your headphones while you plug away at the desk to take a listen to our 1 hr show!

XOXO,

Kimmy

One Track Mind…

And September has been fully devoted to Jay-Z.

Check out this article VIA TheSmugger.com, which I think is a remix of the interview in The O Magazine…

6 Books that Jay-Z Lives By:

Now that he’s appeared on Oprah, is Jay-Z about to start his own book club? Not quite. But he has shared with O, The Oprah Magazine six books that “absolutely” made a difference in his life. Browse his selections below.

1. The Seat of the Soul
By Gary Zukav

There are two books that I absolutely live my life by. This is one of them. Growing up, I was always curious about religion. This book made the most sense to me; it’s about the way you live your life. I believe in karma and doing the right thing even if it may not advance you as far as you want. If every single person felt the same way about karma and intention, then the world gets fixed tomorrow. But temptation gets in the way. Zukav is right: It may take lifetimes to learn.

2. The Celestine Prophecy
By James Redfield

This is the other book I live by. It’s fiction—a guy travels to find a secret book that has a series of principles. The story is a metaphor for life: I could go left or right, I could be stuck, or I could keep advancing. Some people are happy where they are. I tried to hire a guy once, and I said, “Don’t you have ambition to be bigger?” And he said, “No, I’m good.” I had to respect that, but for me that was the wrong relationship.

3. The Odyssey
By Homer

This epic poem was kind of difficult for me to get through, but it has a beautiful rhythm. I got lost in reading about Odysseus’ struggle to get home and his longing for someone so strong, as his wife was, waiting for him. That’s like a dream—that kind of strength, love, loyalty.

4. Outliers
By Malcolm Gladwell

This book is about the principles of timing and repetition—about preparing yourself for luck, really. He talks about a hockey team, and how the players born in January had a year up on the guys born in December. They were fortunate that their birthday was early, but they also practiced—they put the work in. The book resonated with me because I was born at a time when there was an influx of incredible music into the culture, and I was lucky that my mom and pop were huge record collectors. In my house, I had music by Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Prince, and the Commodores, and I’m listening to it every single day.

5. Purple Cow
By Seth Godin

This is straight marketing advice: Your product has to be a purple cow—it has to be distinct to have any success. You have to be clear on your product: What are you? What are you putting out there? For years I never did an ad for [my company] Rocawear, because I cared more about the quality than the face in front. I hadn’t read this book back then, but when someone puts words to feelings you have, it’s like, “Wow, that’s exactly what it is.”

6. Nigger
By Dick Gregory

I don’t know who turned me on to this autobiography, but his sense of humor and the hardships he went through stayed with me—especially the scene where he started running home from school. It led to his joining thetrack team, which led to a scholarship to college. Running opened up a whole world for him.

it looks like i have a healthy book list for the upcoming Winter season!

weekend highlights:(late)

NYC via BROOKLYN

Friday, September 11th

I went 2 the Jay-Z  9/11 benefit concert @ the Garden (courtesy of Rocawear, Amen!). I’ve seen him perform a ba-jillion times & it never seems to get old.  By now, i’ve practically memorized his set down to calling people out in the audience at the end. Loved it so much that I got home & watched it again on Fuse, which was a brilliant concept.  There were moments that I was so excited my brain just couldn’t handle it, lol.

Saturday, September 12th

After a long cloudy/rainy day, I was excited to get out of the apartment & celebrate the launch of www.shoecrush.com.  Lesley Elliott, a Spelman Alum/Columbia B School Graduate, recently started her own shoe/accessory e-commerce site with a funky ‘dating your accessories’ concept. It’s absolutely fabulous & the event matched.  The crowd was beautiful, vibrant, & progressive.  I encourage you all to support Lesley’s new business venture & buy your fave accessories at www.shoecrush.com!!

On that note, I was also thoroughly excited & impressed with the hot new nail polish line Ginger + Liz, another young, hot, black duo starting their own high-end boutique beauty brand!  I’ll be doing a little feature on them soon as well, stay tuned!

Sunday, September 13th

Kicked off the day with a return to Church, which was refreshing & jam packed! Post that I went to a meeting for an exciting new venture for Harlem (more to come), and then linked up with a friend to explore a new part of NYC yet again.  We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, sat by the water in Dumbo, and returned. You know I love being a tourist in my own city…

Came home for a fantastic night of TV: Obama discussed health care on 60 minutes, Kanye, Lil Mama & VMA’s, Hung, & Entourage…..and passed out.

Sorry it’s not uber-detailed, but you can LISTEN to my thoughts on all of the above on That’s What We Say – tonight at 11pm!!
