Culture and Inspiration according to Myisha Cherry
I remember the summer of my sophomore of High School. I went to the movies with my bestfriend and a few of our mentors to see the movie Sister Act. What intrigued me about the movie wasnt just whoppi’s wit, but a young actress whose voice moved me. Her name was Lauryn Hill. In my [...]
I love going down to the meatpacking district. There are several reasons from food to highland park to the good ol’ apple store. But one of the things I love most is the art. Here’s another look at some of the art displayed on buildings throughout the district that I witnessed this past weekend.
LUCK: ”an unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that causes an event to result one way rather than another” Well Its been an interesting few hours of luck for me. I go into the Apple Store at 6am this morning and is able to get it in stock AND in enough time to arrive at the office on time. Great [...]
So I’ve had several posts about my neighborhood of Bedstuy on this blog. Remember the early morning post here and not to forget the recent mural post here. And I cant forget about the natives of bedstuy post I did here. Well Here’s a video that I believe properly gives an introduction to what I [...]
So here’s a quote from my good friend above, David Ross, who is an educator, father, writer, performer, and one of my closest friends. It makes me laugh but only because it rings soooo true. “The truth will set you free…but not before it pisses you off first” –David “Native Son” Ross

While thinking of concepts it eventually became a no brainer for me. The Inspiration: Philosopher Rene Descartes once locked himself into a room, [...]
I went to the Badu and Monae sold out show at the Roseland Ballroom on Monday with one of my awesome buds. It was absolutely amazing!!!! So much talent, so much energy, so much uniqueness. I laughed, “sung”, stood in awe, and got inspired. I Left not only intrigued, but proud to be a woman, [...]
I must admit it. I enjoy people watching. Its just so entertaining, so interesting, so fulfilling (not stalkerish at all???) And what better way to do it and with some sort of reason then with a camera.
It seems like the older I get, the more life becomes more about the two P’s: Ones Profession and Other Persons. As my age increases, I have become more focused on my career, partly becomes I think more about my financial stability but more importantly, I am more intentional about pursuing purpose and happiness for [...]
Besides the immediate gang violence that erupted, the subway stabbing and beating turned asthma attack, our Beach Visit to Far Rockaway on Memorial Day was pretty awesome. Thanks to our coordinator Z$, some buds and I all met up for singing, laughter, catch, cards, and pure sun filled rest. Check the pics below for the action. [...]
