Chocolate City
I was speaking to an African American woman this morning about her daughter who is trying to get pregnant. This woman has always been a big fan of Tin’s from afar and she commended me on raising him to understand that he is black and that’s his identity. I told her that his being in my life has actually opened my eyes to the African American community that I always assumed I was close to but was not. Tin has enlarged my world in a very enlightening and wonderful way. Last night, in Atlanta when we walked into a club that was 95% filled with the African American pulchritude of this city, I felt not necessarily as if I was one of them, but more that I am a part of them. I am hoping that in launching the blog (we’re working on it) I will be able to enlarge the conversation and in turn, enlarge the world for me and my child.

Taurus (4/20-5/20)
You have been intrigued by someone from a different culture for quite a while now, and today will give you a wonderful opportunity to get to know them better. You can charm them in a way that no one else can. Conversations often make the best education, so settle in for a long chat with this person. You will have a lot of questions for them, but they are likely to have just as many questions for you. Learning how different people live their lives can help improve how you live yours.
