L.F.:

Aside from writing, what other projects or activities are you nurturing?

A.P.:

I am working on expanding my editing service and my my publishing company, Firestorm Publications.

L.F.:

If you could share one message with the masses, what would it be?

A.P.:

That life is an expression, so express yourself whether it’s through writing, or whatever it is that you do. Expressing one’s self is the ultimate! Creativity is expressing and expressing one’s self is creativity.

L.F.:

What do you believe your responsibility is to the readers and / or the literary community?

A.P.:

My responsibility to the readers and the literary community is to provide them with quality products. I also feel responsible for tackling some of the issues that are considered taboo and expanding or developing a platform where we can discuss these matters freely instead of saturating the readers, and the literary community, with what I like to call the same “redecorated” stories.

Kenni’s Korner

Kenni’s Korner

Kenni’s ‘Fave Five’ things you should check out to enhance various areas of your life.

Music:

‘Patience’ –Dreamgirls Soundtrack – written by Henry Krieger & Willie Reale – performed by Eddie Murphy, Anika Noni Rose, and Keith Robinson.

Kenni says: In light of Trayvon Martin’s murder and the recent George Zimmerman trial, I want to believe that times will get better, that as a people we will progress and our young black brothers (and sisters) will be able to ‘mind their own business’ without having to fear for their lives. While we should hold on and keep the faith, believing that better days are to come, note that this does not excuse us from being socially conscious and finding ways to be a part of incorporating change.

Literature:

‘Great Sex For Moms’ – Valerie Davis Raskin, M.D.

Kenni says: It’s so easy to get bogged down by day to day nuisances, in turn causing us to slip into sexual droughts or rough patches. With being a mother and a working woman it is not uncommon for us to let the intimate areas of our lives, of our existence, take a back burner to all the other, seemingly more pressing, things going on in our lives. This book teaches you how to tap back into that sexiness and revitalize your intimate relationship. Equipped with tips to spice things up and explanations for things you may be experiencing in your relationship, Sex 101 for Moms really hits the nail on the head. Stop acting like you’ve never experienced a need for a sexual boost. Don’t be embarrassed to get the help you need to rev things up. Help cometh in the form of this book!

Food:

Homemade Pizza

Kenni says: Cooking at home can be much more cost efficient and healthy than eating out. Even when it comes to pizza! If you’re craving pizza and not feeling up to spending money for delivery or take out, making your own pizza may be a great alternative. If you have children this would also be a fun project. Here’s a recipe to keep it simple, delicious, a lot healthier than the greasy pie from the local pizzeria.

Recipe

1 large whole wheat Boboli crust

½ lb ground turkey

¼ cup mushrooms

½ cup traditional spaghetti sauce (or pizza sauce)

1 cup baby spinach leaves

¼ cup onions

3 cups low-fat pizza blend cheese (or 1 cup Mozzarella, 1 cup Parmesan, and 1 cup Cheddar)

Clothing / Accessories:

Radiant Bliss Lip Gloss from the Shyne by Kenni Collection

Kenni says: You do not have to be overly made up in order to be beautiful. In fact, natural beauty is much more appealing than the extremely glammed up look. Any makeup you use is intended to enhance your natural beauty. The Shyne by Kenni lip gloss collection is intended to do just that in addition to restoring moisture to the lips and giving you just the right amount of shine to make your lips pop. If you’re looking for a flavor and color that you can rock to run errands, go to work, or for a night out while looking your beautiful and natural self, try Radiant Bliss (orange flavored). No your lips won’t look like a tangerine, but your kiss will be deliciously sexy.

Color:

Turquoise

Kenni says: Dare to be different. Dare to be stunningly bold. Summer time warrants bright and lively colors. Polish your nails a gorgeous shade of turquoise or add some turquoise accessories to your wardrobe this year. Be the trend setter in your group with your tastefully vibrant hues and watch the compliments roll in.
