Funky Fresh Fall 2026 Playlist
So we’re at the point during this autumn season where it’s winter in the morning and summer by afternoon. This year, I decided to make my fall playlist funky, jazzy and danceable, inspired by Blu DeTiger and Chromeo’s signature beats.

Happy Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day! In honor of this month’s celebrations, I thought it was high time I post my thoughts on Serena Williams’ cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime performance.

Just as all of us in the Mid-Atlantic finished defrosting from January’s polar vortex, Staten Island Chuck’s Groundhog Day prediction indicated we’d have an early spring!

Gallery Mondays: Dancer at J. Hood Wright Recreation Center
Last week on Wednesday, I took a Strong by Zumba class at the J. Hood Wright Recreation Center in Washington Heights. To say that I was sore the next day is an understatement (thank GOD the next day ended up being a snow day!). When I walked into the room where the class would be…

2017’s Best in Music
It’s the end of 2017, so I put myself to the arduous task of compiling a list of the year’s best in music again. I was just as selective this year as I was in 2016, so the list below only contains 15 songs/artists/albums. I’m becoming very good at this. Anyway, let’s not waste any…
