About Last Night!
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. 🙂
“They don’t really care about us” is tonight’s Conversation on “Conversations Of A Sistah”
From a government shutdown to a grifting president, from seven(7) million Americans across the country taking their gripe to the streets, the American people understand that “they (the United States government) really don’t care about us. This is the reality many of us face, as federal workers and military personnel is not being paid.
In the meantime, millionaires remain untouched as Trump and the reTHUGlican agenda puts wealthy interest ahead of ordinary citizens. When we hear about a “government shutdown,” it can feel overwhelming or confusing. Many of us expect it to affect our daily lives in some way, but the billionaires that benefit from Trump’s agenda won’t feel the impacts. The shutdown is the government’s choice to put wealthy interests first, with everyday Americans paying the price.
The agenda of the wealthy is what is being put first, while federal workers struggle to meet basic needs, such as, food, mortgage, healthcare and rent payments. This shutdown is about the extension of Obamacare!
Trump forced a shutdown because he refuses to strike a funding deal with Congress. In fact, the President has refused to even meet with Democratic leaders. As a result, the federal government has grinded to a halt.
ICE, Anger, and Chaos… Tonight’s Conversation Monologue on “Conversations Of A Sistah”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that is supposed to be enforcing immigration and customs laws within the United States but instead this division of ICE under the Trump administration is terrorizing communities throughout the country.
Federal agents deployed in Chicago, Illinois are unleashing hell on its residents when they unleashed tear gas on more than a dozen residents and police officers on yesterday, the latest clash in the nation’s third-largest city as the Trump administration has carried out its immigration crackdown.
Immigrants are being detained without due process, and that includes immigrants with temporary and permanent residential status.
In the last several weeks, Chicagoans have formed volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal immigration agents, posting alerts on Facebook and in Signal group chats when agents are seen.
Check out the monologue and sound off below.
The legendary Melba Moore!
Tony Award winner, Soprano songbird, and 3-time Grammy nominee, Melba Moore who has conquered Broadway in memorable roles such as, HAIR (1967), PURLIE (1970) and became the first Black woman to inhabit the role of Fantine in LES MISERABLES (1995) has conquered it all.
Born October 29, 1945, Beatrice Melba Smith, Moore grew up in the Harlem section of New York until age nine, when her mother remarried, jazz pianist Clement Leroy Moorman and the family relocated to Newark, New Jersey. Her countless hits such as “Read my lips”, “This is it” “Fallin” and my personal favorite, “You stepped into my life” has helped to make her a global success for more than fifty years.
Now in her riveting new book, “This is it” Ms. Moore takes you on the highs and lows of her career and talk about how she’s had to pivot time and again in an industry that didn’t always know what to do with a petite powerhouse with a big voice.
Melba’s new memoirs, “This Is It – Marvelous…And Getting Better”, will be available in November 2025 via Amazon Books. Ms. Moore shares many aspects of her career and life, as well as how she navigated the successes and challenges that came her way.
Melba will join me this week on “Conversations Of A Sistah” as we discuss her book and illustrious career. Sound off in the comment section below, with the questions you’d like me to ask Ms. Moore.
