Dear Summer,

I know you gon’ miss me
For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees…

I can say and wanted to write it down- that this has been one of my best summers ever (at least as an adult that I can remember). I lost an uncle this summer, and that definitely made it one of the worst, but prior to that and even through that it was a season of reflection and self evaluation. I spent so much time just enjoying the days the good Lord has given me and I feel so empowered and thankful.
I went out more than usual, I traveled, I spent several days just enjoying my friends, family and loved ones. It was a memorable summer. I sit here on the day I go back to school, to begin the first day of my last year of law school and I feel better than ever. I’ve made new friends, reunited with old friends, and nurtured relationships with my current friends. Life is short, you have to enjoy it.
This will probably be my last summer like this, next summer I’ll be taking the bar and then off to the land of lawyer life. So due to working and hopefully having kids one day in the next few years, my summers will no longer be all mine. So I am so thankful I spent this so well. I partied like never before, making up to some degree for all the partying I never did in college and in my twenties thus far. I went to Disney again with my heart n joy- my sister, my mom and my niece and nephew. I went on a cruise to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Bermuda and Puerto Rico with my boyfriend (a.k.a air) and his family who I love. I even went to a museum this summer. Since law schoo started Ive been saying I wanted to enjoy these summers, because they in essence were my calm before the storm. FINALLY I have done just that. It took me three summers to get it, but I did. I owe most of that to my boyfriend, who (to put it simply) kind of forced me to step out of my norm.
All in all, Im thankful and Im happy. Thank you summer.

I’m done for now, so one for now
Possibly forever, we had fun together
But like all good things, we must come to an end
Please show the same love to my friends
Dear summer

Starting September, I will be the advice columnist for King Magazine Online. I will be giving advice to men and women, answering life questions, and dishing dirt.

Just to share, the name of the column- Wonder Women- derived from a private joke between me and the editor of King, Datwon Thomas. While in attendance at a King Magazine party last year, he spotted my burgundy knee length boots (I must admit these boots are a favorite of mine)… (Petit Peton in the village, you can’t go wrong)… but anyway, when he saw them he commented on how he appreciated the hotness of my footwear. and said how they looked like Wonder Woman boots. Since that day he has referred to me as Wonder Woman. Hence, the title of my advice column. When he suggested I title the column Wonder Woman, it took only seconds to agree that it was a fitting and fun name for it.
So watch out for Wonder Woman this fall.
My new book, Playthang will be in stores this fall, a release party to be announced. You can catch my blogs and articles for G Unit and Fresh 102.7. I will be touring the East coast with a few stops in the West. My advice column for King Magazine will be debuted. (Lastly I will be completing my last year of law school).
So look out… Thanks for all the support
Signing off,
Janine A. Morris a.k.a Wonder Woman

“Please take my hand. I give it to you as a gesture of friendship and love, and of faith freely given. I give you my hand and welcome you into my dream.” -Wonder Woman #167

Its a beautiful thing.  Fatman Scoop and wife Shanda are starring in their own talk show on love, life and relationships.  This couple that has been married for 5 years has found an interesting way to make it work.  They came up with an idea, started it on line and now have their own MTV show, becoming a new black power couple.

The show is witty, funny, and educational… its just what our people need right now, an outlet to try to figure this crazy thing called love out.  It deals with sex, dating, cheating, experimenting, marriage, etc.  Its a show you dont want to miss.  You can catch it on MTV starting in September.

Check back soon for an up close and personal interview with the lovely couple…

In the meantime leave a comment and let me know what do you think the biggest issue with black love is.

As if we believe all this reality television, the new show New York goes to Hollywood is expected to be another hit television show.  Don’t get me wrong, when it comes to reality TV Miss New York is surely the ‘it’ girl and I will admit she is one of my favorite reality leading ladies.  I just liked her spunk since day one, of course she is extra and way over the top, but she is interesting to watch. I wouldnt be mad if she dropped her breast job down a couple of sizes though.  Her past television appearances have brought her an abundance of success, with I Love New York 1 & 2 breaking records in reality television.  Her new show however is all about her, with no 12 men to share the camera time with so let’s hope she can keep us entertained this time around. 

The show is documenting her journey to fulfill her goal of becoming an actress, so the cameras will follow her as she tries to take Hollywood by storm.  Rumor has it that George “Tailor Made” Weisgerber has broken up with her since the reunion of I Love New York 2 and the heartbreaking moment will be a highlight on the upcoming show.  We can almost assure her mother will be a co-star on this show as well, and all the small nuances of life will be brought to a dramatic level for the cameras.  It seems kind of scary when you analyze what’s going on with our culture, but she has become popular enough to where America just wants to watch her go through her daily life. Tiffany “New York” Pollard has come along way from home Toto.
