Now. Don’t say I didn’t tell you. And don’t say I don’t put on for my city. And don’t say I don’t put on for my community. The summer is upon us, it’s about to get very active around these parts…in every field of human endeavor.

Cheers to the city of Los Angeles!

My wonderful friends Ngwebifor and Celeste (pictured above) are the two responsible for the entity affectionately known as Politix. They continue to furnish events that attract the progressive-minded demographic and through these efforts, they contribute to the betterment of the city from which I dwell. As you may [or may not] know, my sole purpose is to connect the progress and serve the community…so I’m behind their efforts 100% AND they’re cool people AND they are products of the HBCU experience!

I encourage you to visit their website and get connected. I plan to be in attendance of their upcoming shindig on Saturday (May 23)…hope to see you there. More info below:
