#118 - Queens Queen

Updated: Dec 26, 2021

Semmi: But where in New York can one find a woman with grace, elegance, taste, and culture? A woman suitable for a king. Prince Akeem & Semmi: Queens!

[From the hit comedy, "Coming 2 America" starring Eddie Murphy & Arsenio Hall]

Born in Jamaica, West Indies...I am a Queen raised in South Jamaica Queens, NY

TRUE New Yorkers know every "cliché" about us as well as everything we are know for. Timbs! Airbrushed Shirts! Stadium style jackets! Delayed subway trains! Poorly lit train platforms! Countless places to go shopping! The Yankees! The Mets! The Jets! The Giants! The Nets! Broadway! The concrete jungle! I could keep going. However, New York is like NO OTHER place in the world! Being there is an experience of a lifetime.


However, Queens, NY in particular has been home and in some cases birthplace to some of African Americans most well known public figures. For example, Jackie Robinson, Al Roker, Gwen Ifill, Dr. Marie M. Daly, PhD., Russell Simmons, Reverend Run, RUN-DMC, Nicki Minaj, NAS, Curtis "50-Cent" Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, W.E.B. DuBois, LL Cool J and many others.


No matter where I have lived, I always have an Empire State of mind. I am a Queen from Queens.

You can...

♫"Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from New York. Concrete jungle where dreams are made of. There's nothin' you can't do. Now you're in New York. These streets will make you feel brand new. Big lights will inspire you. Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York"♫ - Empire State of Mind ~ Jay-Z
With so many places to choose from, this weekend's Black Friday sales had me traveling all over the place.
♫Yes, I am "THAT BITCH!" You can't get this thickness off of your mind!"♫
