My Life

My peoples! I’m super excited to say I will be MIA on the interblogs for the next week (and from my new column on The Grio). I’ma be on vacay from now til May 11. I just had to tell y’all because I know how you be. You’ll be side-eying …

I love technology and I’m a not-so-secret geek when it comes to all things digital. When I’m not keeping track of the foolery happening in pop culture, I’m teaching people how to use technology to make their lives easier or further their goals. It’s definitely one of my passions and …

I’ve been using Oyin Handmade stuff before I even knew who Jamyla Bennu was, and it started with the “Juices and Berries” spray. I can’t remember who told me about it but I know I smelled their hair one day and I was like “WHAT IS THAT??? I NEED IT!” …

I’m back from Nigeria, folks! I spoke at Social Media Week Lagos and as always, I had a blast. Those 6 days went by so damb quick that my memories got whiplash. Time flies when you’re doing hoodrat things with your friends in another country. Anywho, I’m here to share …

Sit down, kids. I’d like to tell you a story. It’s of a time way back when, before we could fit a phone, camera, music player, video player and recorded into a machine the size of a hershey’s candy bar. Picture it, people’s houses, 1998… This was an ancient time …
