Celebrating Our History through Entrepreneurship, Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

We should be celebrating the history of our people every single day of the year. There are so many African American men and women who have contributed to our history through the talents and gifts they possess.

Harriet Tubman knew how to maneuver slaves through the underground railroad, just like Madame C. J. Walker was an inventor of her hair care products. Just as African American actresses, such as Hattie McDaniel portrayed the real cooks during the slavery era, the talents of African American woman were the backbones in a kitchen during the war. 

While Slavery and poverty were historical factors that influenced the evolution of southern food and baking. The African slaves that cooked and served generations were the primary creators of southern cooking. They transformed staples of pioneer culture into refined dishes and feasts that now epitomizes southern hospitality.

We’ve come a long way since this era, as with Regina Davis (pictured above), who is influential today as the owner and operator of “Regina’s Sweet Temptations“. A talent giant who creates delectable treats with a vision in her heart and a passion for perfection. A culinary genius with humble beginnings, who learned from an aunt and experienced heartfelt results. Regina’s professionalism and polished presentation is an introduction to a taste that won’t disappiont.

“I first learned the art from my Aunt Cally when I was young and then perfected my skills by preparing delicious treats for my three children over the years. I found that I loved seeing the smiles on my friends faces, when they bit into one of my delicious chocolate chip cookies or admired one of my many creative cupcake designs.” Regina Davis

Regina is adamant about the layout and design of her “treats” telling my administrator “I take so many pictures to get the right one”.

Although her side slogan is the “cupcake lady” her business is more than just cupcakes. Regina has a creative flare to pull you into all that she has to offer; from cakes to cookies to brownies and miniature treats, it’s obvious her creative flare is a gift that she posses.

Join me tonight at 6:30 pm on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio as we celebrate and salute the talented and awesome, Regina Davis of “Regina’s Sweet Temptations” in commemoration of Black History month.

Are teens lacking RESPECT? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

“Conversations Of A Sistah” is back with a vengeance and ready to tackle a serious subject and conversation at hand; are teenagers lacking respect and reverence for those in authority? Where is the RESPECT that follows an elder in position?

My topic comes as a disturbing video surfaced online of a ninth grade Paterson, New Jersey student who attacked his teacher in the classroom for confiscating his cell phone during class. The attack which was captured on video shown above, has gone viral on Facebook and youtube and shows the student slamming his 62 year old teacher to the floor in an effort to retrieve his cell phone back. The 23-second video shows the 16-year-old with his arms wrapped around the teacher, knocking him into an empty desk.

The district filed a complaint against the student earlier this week, a spokes­woman said, and Paterson police said they arrested him at his home on Friday.

He said the teacher apparently confiscated the phone — which belonged to the assailant — from another student. The principal said students are allowed to use cellphones in class for academic purposes, but staff may take the devices and return them at the end of the day if students use them for other reasons.

Many questions have been raised since this incident such as; who are the boys parents? Why is a lack of disrespect evident in the teens behavior? And should the parents be held accountable?

Join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio.com for this much needed discussion.

I will be taking your phone calls on the subject at 1-917-889-7872. Please press “1” to speak with me the host.
