Meet Louis Farmer

TGIF! Friday's are always great days. I've spent the afternoon with a real gem, Mr. Louis Farmer. Oppose to giving you a blow by blow of what I think I decided to let him introduce himself to you. I will say, he is going to add some real flava to Jersey City's Pride community. Here's his introductory video and look for his interview...SOON! We will also be seeing him at work as well as getting some footage from Jersey City Pride events this weekend.

I love yall!

My "New" Position on Religion

As some of you know I am so not a subscriber to organized religion. I am pleased to announce that there may be a change in my opinion. I attended church services on Sunday at the Center. It was Family of Faith Ministries, Pastor Yvonne Harrison aka Rev. Ezie. Now the thing is I didnt go to church initially for the service. I went because I was interested in interviewing Rev. Ezie for our show. First of all I left my camera, I actually FORGOT it. "Not a problem", I thought to myself I'll just sit throught the service and see what she got to say and make an appointment to meet with her some other time. NO EXPECTATIONS!

So you all know that I say the samething everyday before leaving my house, "Dear God, please protect me from your followers". Yeah I do because Christians scare the daylights out of me.

So Guess what happened......Yup the unthinkable. I was so moved, even before the service started. The people, all kinds Gay, Straight, Black, White there was dance and poetry all empowering and uplifting, more than that it related to my life. THEN (yes, there's more) the service was AMAZING she spoke on swagger v annointing. I won't get into the details (gonna save it for the interview) but what I wanted to say is that, there's a spark of flames for me where this ministry is concerned and my hope that someday I'd find an unbias, non-judgemental, diversified, welcoming, "for the people" church has been renewed. I found myself in Church "participating" and enjoying in and I felt comfortable, well very comfortable.

Needless to say, I'll be back to worship with Family of Faith Ministries and I'll also be filming some of the services for you because you know I love to give you live video's. Additionally, look for my interview with Rev. Ezie.

I love yall!
