Ledisi: Power and Passion
I believe Ledisi is a powerful, talented black female artist we should celebrate. I discovered her about a year ago and I believe she deserves more mainstream recognition. She is a R&B and Jazz recording artist who released her first album in the early 2000s. At that time in my life, I had never heard of her. I was in my early 20s and didn't really broaden my music horizons beyond the current radio jam or my favorite decade of music, the 60s! She may not be as well known as Janet Jackson or Beyoncé but her style is unique and her voice shines in all her songs.

What happened to the Little Black Book?
Years ago, I remember seeing on TV that a little black book was an expression alluding to a list of numbers of possible dates or people to hook up with. In our digital and technologically advanced age, I wonder if Match and Tinder have replaced the old-fashioned little black book. It left me wondering if anyone still had a little black book, listing the names of people to call when you need a date, for lonely nights or just for networking. I asked many friends from various backgrounds and ages and not a one ever had one or knew of someone that did. Did my group of friends just not have options or was the Little Black Book something just from the movies? Others explained the Little Black Book was sometimes just a list of contacts and not necessarily for dating purposes. This led me to wonder: Is our contact list in our phones the new little Black Book we pull out and scroll through? Who can we call? Who will answer? How many people have my name in their contact list? Am I a part of someone’s little black book?
