About Last Night!

The ReadyWriter

Last night (Tuesday November 11, 2025), I had the pleasure of attending Melba Moore’s book event at The Sugar Bar on the upper east side in New York City. The restaurant/bar is owned by the late Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. It’s a small quaint spot where the atmosphere feels like home and the food just as delectable.

I was a bit disappointed that it was a book event with no books! Pre-ordering books was the option offered, with Ms. Moore signing a card and accepting a paid receipt as proof of purchase for signing that card. But in all of her glory Ms. Moore graced us with her presence with class and poise, she greeted the crowd with her presence and humble personality. The songstress is extremely down to earth and was acknowledged for her accomplishments by the Harlem Chambers Of Commerce.

When I was there with Ms. Moore in the private room in the back space of the restaurant, I could’ve melted in her presence, not because of who she is but because she has such a quiet, serene, sweet spirit. She’s a real Queen, and I felt the urge to bow in her presence.

Whenever I enter a venue, my first instinct is to always read the room, and right away I heard the voice of Robin Roberts, my favorite anchor of ABCNEWS NY. Robin was minding her business sitting in the corner of the bar laughing and talking with some of her friends. My girlfriend and I took our seats, when I dropped my bag and coat and said to her “Excuse me, I’ll be right back, Robin Roberts is over there and I’m going to talk with her” before my girlfriend could ask any questions I was already over there. LOL!!!! and let me tell you, we had a great conversation. I’ll just say, it was like talking to a friend! The woman is extremely down to earth and relatable.

And NO I didn’t ask her to be a guest on “Conversations Of A Sistah” because I would ask her some hard questions that she would not be able to answer, due to her contractual agreement with ABC.

Therefore, I asked her the hard questions in our conversation. Robin Roberts is a class act and the place was jumping. Comment below with your thoughts. I know you will. šŸ™‚

      Clearly you didn’t read the write-up. she specifically said: My girlfriend and I took our seats, when I dropped my bag and coat and said to her ā€œExcuse me, Iā€™ll be right back, Robin Roberts is over there and Iā€™m going to talk with herā€

    5. Tracy need to post that podcast from last night. she addressed “You are the company that you keep” that sh*t hit a home run for me. Take a listen on her youtube channel if you haven’t already.

  3. I’m thinking OMG!!!! Tracy was laughing in that pic.
    So Melba had no books? I think that should’ve been known before people showed up. she should fire her team. they should have canceled the event.
