Summer MEDness!
This Friday, we get you ready for the holiday weekend and the coming summer months.
We love those summer visits and vacations with extended family, but those fun times can try your patience when Uncle Joe starts hitting the sauce too hard or Cousin Betty’s kids start to run wild. We’ll discuss how to keep your cool when things start to heat up.
Want to spice up the menu for your summer fare? We’ll talk to a noted chef who will share a few new healthy warm-weather dishes—while sticking to a budget.
And summer fun isn’t complete without taking in a few great movies, beach reads, and rounding out that cookout with a hot playlist. Our entertainment crew will offer up suggestions for all three.

The cynics will say that Brown’s tearful and broken effort was a ploy for the nation’s forgiveness and regain his career. This conclusion marginalizes Black male pain and illustrates a disdain for any kind of weakness shown on their part. But let it not go unsaid that he was entirely wrong for beating Rihanna. He was more than wrong. What he did was absolutely unconscionable. His behavior showed an immature spirit carrying demons that one will hope were released with this cathartic performance. I don’t doubt that this man carried and continues to bear a lot of anger and pain from childhood and beyond; ironically having expressed this pain in a wholly different way than the Rihanna beating, he is now being questioned and doubted. I’m am convinced this is unfair.
Ironically, the same folks questioning the Brown’s authenticity, condemn President Obama for not showing enough emotion for the Gulf Oil spill. When it comes to emotional expression, Black men face a difficult catch 22. Show too much emotion and you are angry or somehow damaged, and too little you are haughty, professorial, and unfeeling. Go figure.
