THE BEST CURATED READINGS, BY SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED WOMEN OF COLOR WRITERS OF THE DAY..
PERFECTLY SET IN THE MOST CAPTIVATING RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN IN NEW YORK.
THE HOTEL GRIFFOU
EVERYTHING WAS JUST RIGHT... FOOD, DECOR, THE WAITRESSES, THE BARTENDER, THE OWNERS.
I ALWAYS SAY, THAT LOVE & CULTURE ARE THE BEST COSMETIC IN THE COSMOS...
THIS EVENING CULTURE WAS THE MEDICINE OF CHOICE.
EVERYONE WAS RADIANT, THE ROOM FILLED WITH LITE CANDLES, EXPOSING ALL THEIR ANCIENT MAJESTY, LIKE THE BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL WBAI TALK RADIO PERSONALITY ESTHER ARMAH
IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO TREAT MYSELF TO A EVENING LIKE THIS...
TO BE READ TO FROM VOICES AND PLACES FAMILIAR TO ME AND TO BE GRACIOUSLY SERVED... ESPECIALLY WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THE GROCERY SHOPPING, COOKING OR CLEANING.
AND BE SERENADED BY A BEAUTIFUL ROOM.
LATASHA REALLY PULLED HER HOSTESS WITH "ALL OF THAT" SKILLS TOGETHER....
FEATURING WRITERS,
MAHOGANY BROWNE,
PURVI SHAH
SHARIFA RHODES-PITTS
LYNN PROCOPE
YOU REALLY LEFT US WITH RICH MEMORIES FOR A LONG TIME LATASHA... LET'S DO THIS AGAIN.
FOLKS DRAPED IN THE GOLDEN CANDLE LIGHT, ENTRANCED BY THE READERS.
Q & A.
THE BREAK-OUT, EVERYONE MEETING AND NETWORKING.
AND SIGNING...
REFLECTING OFF EACH OTHER....
ONE OF THE WRITER'S AND A FRIEND OF MINE SHARIFA RHODES-PITTS...
...HAVING A ANIMATED CONVERSATION WITH FINE ARTIST SIMONE LEIGH.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I GOT'S TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS AMAZING NON-ALCHOL DRINK THAT THE WIZARD BARTENDER NATAHAN RAMOS CREATED FOR ME... I TOLD HIM I WANTED A MIXED DRINK BUT I DID NOT DRINK ALCOHAL AND I DID NOT WANT A SWEET DRINK... AND.... DID HE HOOK A SISTAH UP?
I HAVE NEVER TASTED A DRINK SO LUCIOUS, IT TASTED LIKE IT HAD MELONS, CUCUMBERS, GINGER AND SOME FRESH GREEN HERBS THAT WERE FLOATING IN MY TALL SUMMER GROWN-UP DRINK...
THIS WAS A PERFECT EVENING IN THIS ROMANTIC LITERARY HIDE-AWAY SALON AT
THE HOTEL GRIFFOU
NO. 21 WEST 9TH ST.
