Who are you?

I am a student of life. Here to learn more than just what's on a chalk board, and I am here to receive the prosperity of this world that the creator left here for me. I'm the legacy of prosperity of my ancestors and the brick of foundation for the next generation. I am a strong fine woman with strength unseen even to me, but I go by the name for which you see above....and that name carries power so be careful how you speak it for it can shake the earth with thunder or soothe a crying child.
I have a question for all of you....who are you?

Texas De Brazil

Sorry it has been awhile since I wrote on my blog. I been super busy planning my wedding which I will post a video giving a update about the plans so far.

Last month I took my fiance out to dinner for his birthday. He loves steak (like most men), so I found an all you can eat steak house called Texas De Brazil. It was a little out of budget, yet I looked online and was told that if you sign up for the email list you will get $20 off coupon.

He loved it so much. The food was tasty, the staff was super nice and walked us through the whole experience of the restaurant. Our waitress took a picture of us, so we will always remember our time at Texas De Brazil.

All Eyes On Me......Everything I thought it would be......

When I first heard of the Tupac movie All Eyes On Me was coming out, I was not that excited about it. I know this is not going to go over well with the Tupac ride or die fans, but everything they could tell us in the movie is already common knowledge in the Hip Hop world. My fiance was super excited about the movie, and I tried everything I could to push back us going to the movies to see it. Finally I was just tired of him walking around looking sad cause of my many excuses not to see the movie. We went to the Emagine theater in Royal Oak, Michigan, and we sat down in our tan color leather recliner and the movie started.

Let me be clear, I liked the movie, but it was not all that to me because I already knew all the facts they stated in the movie. The actor that played Tupac I think he did a great job. Was it just me, but it was weird hearing Snoop Dogg's voice coming out the actors voice? I'm not going to lie the actor who was playing Snoop had the walk and everything down, yet he looked nothing like him. Also it seems that Faith Evans also did a voice over well it seem that way to everyone who was in the theater with me and my fiance.

I don't understand why Jada Pickett Smith is upset about the movie. They didn't not say they ever dated or even kissed. Of course things are not going to be fully true in the movie, so they are going to do things that did not happen in real life. I find it funny that her and Lil Kim both had similar out cries about the way they was shown in each

respected movies. I will write more about that later.

Story time Featuring Queen Moon

This is a new feature here on A word with Jhonzalee. I will post at least once a week a new part of the story. I want all my readers to be a part of the story and leave all your thoughts and comments in the comment section of this story. Please share the site on all your social media sites. Enjoy the story.



The day has started, yet I'm mentally still asleep. I got out of the bed slowly, so I can give my mind time to catch up with my body. It's been that way ever since I found out that I was pregnant 5 months ago.  I am jumping ahead of myself, so Let me start from the beginning.  My name is Lora Madison yet I go by Zara Moon. I'm your typical young adult living in the big city. I love to go out with my friends. If I am not out with my friends, I am in my small apartment. I love to be at home and enjoy my own space. I do have a boyfriend, but I love being by myself. My boyfriend Mikey is super sweet and loving, yet He always working. I always spend time by myself anyway.
 One day while I was out getting take out, I ran into this guy who calls himself T -Moon. I couldn't stop looking at him. I don't know what it was about him, could it be his light gray eyes, beautiful long dark hair, or his handsome smile? We talked while we waited for our respective orders. I felt like I was being pulled towards him. Once his order was done he slipped me this small piece of paper that had nothing on it. I just put it in my purse and smiled. I grabbed my order and went home. I just knew I wouldn't see T-Moon again…. I was so wrong.  Three days later I just got home from a date with my boyfriend, but I couldn't enjoy myself all I could do was think about T-Moon. I sat on my bed and search through my purse for the piece of paper he gave me, but I couldn't find it. As I started to feel sad and upset about losing the piece of paper, my phone rings with no number on the caller ID. I answer the phone thinking maybe my phone was broken.
    "Hello Lora Darling," The male voice said
    "Mikey?" I answered
    "No? Meet me at 21179 Main Street in 20 minutes." He said.
    "I'm a half hour away!!" I yelled
    "20 minutes Darling," He said as he hung up.
I was shocked cause I was actually getting ready to meet a stranger at a random house. I plug the address into my GPS and started on my way. I don't know if I was super lucky, but I got green lights the whole way there and it seemed that no one was on the expressway. I pulled up to the address and it was a regular house no differ from any house on the street. I walked up to the door fixing my lipstick when the door opened on its own. I walked in, yet I wasn't afraid. I walked straight to the back of the house. I open the door to the most beautiful room I had ever seen. Then T-Moon showed up from an unknown location. He looked more handsome than he did when I first saw him. He had on a red and black smoking jacket with black pants with his hair going down to the middle of his back.
    "Told you Darling 20 minutes." He said to me as he called me to him.
    "Yes you did," I said smiling walking towards him.
    "You are beautiful and I have not stop thinking about you since we meet. You will be mine. Tonight is the night you will understand true love and love making" He whispered to me as he embraced me. With every touch, I fell more in love with this total stranger. He couldn't keep his hands off me which is something I am not used to. He kept looking into my eyes. He looked into my eyes with power, sensitive, and love. He caresses my chin and leaned into my lips. That was the most powerful kiss I had ever experience.
     "Are you ready my love?" T-Moon whispered to me
     "Yes" I nodded
He led me over to an area of the room that for some reason I didn't notice when I had first come into the room. It was a fancy Victorian style bed with blood red bedding. I didn't even notice that I was completely naked. We laid on the bed kissing passionately when he rolled me on top. It felt like it was my first time all over again, but it was far from it. I felt him growing inside me yet no movement was happening, but the feeling was there. I couldn't keep my hands to myself, and T-Moon has a strong grab on my wrist as he pinned me down and kissed on my necked as he filled my body with his essence. Our sweat mixes as it was mixing on our bodies and bed sheets. As we continued to make steamy and passionate love, the sun started to come up. The roomed started to spin, the room filled with smoke, my body started to shake uncontrollably, and an electrical shock ran through my body. When I finally was able to come to my senses again, I realize the house I was in was an empty house and I was laid out on a blanket on the floor. I grab my clothes and purse praying that I still had a car when I went outside. I found a note inside my car and it was from T-Moon.
  "Lora, Darling, last night was the best of my life. You are now mine and I am yours. One day I will tell you my whole truth, yet until then I will keep in touch with you by phone. Signed your Loving Husband T-Moon"
Did he just say, husband, because I have a boyfriend so I can't have a husband, right? As I sat in my car and realized that I'm almost late for work. I rushed to work before I would be late. The whole day I couldn't do anything but think about the mind-blowing sex I had the night before.  After work I'm sitting in my car outside my apartment, my mind keeps replaying the night before and I couldn't stop it and to be honest, I really don't want it to stop. I go inside to make my dinner and try to relax. I ate and took a long hot bubble bath while I was drying myself off my phone rings.
    "Darling, I miss you. I will be home in 20 minutes. Be ready to receive me, my love." T-Moon swoon on the phone.
    "Wait! You do not know where I live. What's the big deal with you and 20 minutes?" I asked.
    "You mean our home Darling. It only takes 20 minutes to get to your lover's side." He told me.  He hung up before I could say anything. I was shocked that he knew where I lived, but at the same time, I can't wait to see him. I just met him, yet I fell in love with him. I ran and put on my sexiest lingerie I own. Just like he said 20 minutes on the dot he was standing in my house at the door.
    "Hello Darling, you miss me?" He said looking at me seductively.
    "Hi?" I said not sure what to really say to him. He looked at me with the moon shining in his eyes. He looked more handsome than the last time I saw him. He pulled me into a kiss. He started rubbing my back going down to my butt, and he started to kiss on my neck and biting on my ear. Before I could let my body fall into its own pleasure, He whispers to me "It's time my love." He grabbed my hand and lead me into my bedroom. He was so tender with me and time stopped. I didn't think it could happen but the sex was better than before. He kept whispering through our whole time together that he loved me. Once again the room filled up with smoke, the room was spinning, and my bed started to shake. I couldn't even focus on his face. I woke up naked on my bedroom floor. I couldn't figure out how I end up on the floor. I looked around and I couldn't find a trace of T-Moon anywhere. I looked at the clock and it was after one in the morning. I sat on my bed and just couldn't help the feeling of this was right and this is what I was missing in my life. I took a shower and walked into my kitchen wrapped in my towel, and I saw a letter from T-Moon on my fridge and it stated:
     "Lora, darling, I fixed you something for you to eat and I placed it in the fridge. Tonight you were more relax and aggressive, and I loved it so I know you will need your strength for today. I will see you soon my loving wife. Sign your loving Husband"

I open the fridge and saw this great plate of food. It was a salad, a steak, and baked potato, yet I do not know how he cooked the food because I had none of the items in my fridge nor did I smell any food cooking. I warmed up the food and sat down to eat when my boyfriend Mikey called me.
    "Lora? Are you ok?" Mikey asked
    "Yes, baby" I answered.
    ‘What's been going on with you lately? You have been acting weird. Can I come over?" He asked.
    "Sure," I said as I hung up. I don't know what he could want. Mikey comes to my apartment and hugged me and gave me a big kiss. It was like when we first met. I couldn't help it because I was feeling super sexual. I lead him into the bedroom and started to have sex with my boyfriend, yet in the back of my mind I felt like T-Moon was watching me and was mad that I was cheating on him, but he's not my husband for real, right?

 Two months had passed and every day the same thing happen. T-Moon would come over to my place and we would have the world melting sex and then he would be gone once I woke up. I looked at my phone and saw my mensural tracker popped up a message that it's been 60 days since my last period and I need to make a doctor appointment. I thought nothing of it because I had a period but just forgotten to plug it into my phone, well I hope that's the case. I went on as usual for the rest of the day until I notice it was five in the morning and I have not heard from T-Moon. That's not to him at all, and I have to say I'm a little concern about him. I called the last number he called me from yet it was disconnected. All of sudden I got feverishly hot, and the room was spinning around me and I didn't know where all this is coming from. I fell to my knees praying that I don't die this way. Three days later I woke in a cold white room. I looked around me to try to figure out where I could be.
     "Good Afternoon Ms. Madison, I see you finally woke up." A woman said to me.
    "Who are you? Where am I ?" I asked her. She looked at me with these crazy green eyes.  I thought maybe I had said something wrong.
   "Ms. Madison you are in the hospital. You have been here for three days now, " she told me. I guess she saw the worry in my eyes then she said: "Don't worry, it was a little shaky, but the baby is ok now." I could have passed out again. I can't believe what I heard. "I'm pregnant? How can this be? I didn't know." She just passed me on the back and walked out the door. I can't believe it as I held my stomach. I always wanted to be a mother just thought it would happen after I was married and own my own business. No one can know this and I mean no one. I called the nurse back into the room. I ask her to make sure no one knew about this baby. I wanted to be the first person to tell T-Moon.  I don't even know if he would be happy to hear a baby. I'm so worried, and would Mikey say about all this. I guess I have to tell Mikey about me, T-Moon and now the baby. I can't believe my life has turned out this way in just a few months. After three weeks in the hospital, I was sent home. I'm happy I had a lot of personal and vacation days at work.  The whole time I was in the hospital T-Moon would visit me at night. He never told me why he only came after the sun went down. He was super excited about the baby, but because we were not married he couldn't tell his family about us and the baby. Now that I was home he still shows up and takes very good care of me and the baby.
 After a week of being at home from the hospital, T-Moon came over like usual, yet he was more serious. "Lora Darling, I can not be seen with this baby. My family is very old fashion and will not be understanding since we are not married in their eyes. With all of that said, you must allow Mike to believe that the child is his own and allow him to raise it until we are married. " He said to me like a teacher telling her class they have a large report due. I couldn't believe my ears. "How can you say that? This is YOUR CHILD!!!! How can you just give our baby and me to another man? I thought you love me." I said through my tears. He just stood there with his eyes locked on to me. He held my face in his hand and gave me a soft kiss on my forehead. "My love, I know you upset and I am too, but we have to keep a level head. I am only saying to allow this to happen for the safety of our child and you. As soon as I can I will marry you and we will be a family as the universe has planned us to be. I must go back to my motherland and handle some business with my family and I will be back and it will be when I come and bring you and the baby back to meet my family and make you my bride." He said as he kissed my belly and walked out the door. I had so many emotions going through my head and heart. I can't believe I'm seven months pregnant and losing the love of my life and father of my child. Now, what happen to get me into this mess is all I could think as I continue to look at my front door. I can't believe this is happening to me now of all the times and moments it could of happen, but it chose to pick now. I had a good life before I met him, and now my whole life is turned upside down. I been home this whole time and never told Mikey that I was with child, yet I don't think I want to tell him about the baby. Now I have no choice.

 I just stayed in my bed for a few days not because the doctors told me to take it easy yet because of how upset I was with my baby's father I wanted to make sure nothing did not happen to my child. Mikey has been very supportive towards me. I been lying and telling him that I sprang my ankle and couldn't get up. I know you may be thinking how did he not see my growing belly? While easy I hide it behind pillows, doors, counters, and anything else I could use. I'm just not ready to tell him what's going on, but I know soon I'm going to have to tell him. For now, I'm just going to sit back and accept his help now cause once he finds out I do not get this help again. I still cannot believe I am with a child as I looked at my 27-week belly. Yes, I'm seven months along at this point. I forgot to tell you all that when I was in the hospital I was already five months going on six months. I guess that is why I am still in shock over this baby. How come no one told me that I am I getting bigger or I just did not look the same as I have in the past. This is just so much for me to take in, and I just want to wake up from this nightmare.

The Power of Makeup

The Power of Makeup

The power of makeup is not just a hot trend on YouTube, but it is a form of self-expression. Makeup has the power to change not just how an individual look but how they feel. Using makeup to change your physical appearance have been around for centuries. The power makeup has over the public will always change, due to the popularity of a certain trend or technic that is used in makeup.

 I was always around make up all of my life, but it did not make me a girly girl or as some call Barbie girl. Once I got to college, that all changed. I was tired of being seen as a tomboy or unfeminine to the people around me. I always been a plus size woman and social standards can be very demanding for the plus size citizens. I wanted to learn all I can do to change that. I started to ask around to all my friends that wore makeup and asked them all I could about makeup plus I even asked one of my friends' mom about cosmetics and brushes. I want to see what the power of makeup could do for me.

 One day one of my friends suggested that I go on YouTube and look up makeup videos and tutorials on how to apply makeup for different occasions. I started to look up videos and most of the video was from women who do not look like myself. I decided to look for videos that stared women that looked like me. I came across a video by MsCreativeDiva and I was hooked to her videos. I had to watch all her videos. I just couldn't stop watching them. Every day after school I would watch her videos, and after work and during lunch break I would watch her videos. I couldn't stop watching her and trying to do the same looks she was doing, yet it never looks like her videos but I keep trying.

The power of makeup has giving me the one thing that was buried way deep inside of me, and that thing was my confidence. Now I show my confidence even when I do not have on my makeup because of makeup I can pull it out with or without it. I also learn that sometimes somethings so simple as makeup can go you the power to pull something out of you that you didn’t know you had.

Mississippi: Where Smiles live

 Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state in 1817, and the name of the state came from the Mississippi River, which makes up the western border of the state. Early citizens of the state which will became Mississippi included the Choctaw, Natchez, and Chickasaw. Spanish explorers arrived in the area in 1540, but it was the French who made the first permanent settlement in present-day Mississippi in 1699. During the first half of the 19th century, Mississippi was the top cotton producer in the United States, and owners of large plantations depended on the labor of black slaves. Mississippi left the Union in 1861 and suffered greatly during the American Civil War. Despite the abolition of slavery, racial discrimination endured in Mississippi, and the state was a battleground of the Civil Rights Movement in the mid-20th century. In the early 21st century, Mississippi ranked among America’s poorest states. 
    Last week I along with my boyfriend travel down to Jackson (the state capital) Mississippi. The visit was due to the fact that my younger sister was graduating high school. From Detroit to Jackson is a 14-hour car ride, in which my boyfriend and I endured. Once we enter the great southern state, we start to notice the difference. As we the main interstate the is I-55, it seems to us that if you wanted to go anywhere in the state you had to take that route. It was my boyfriend’s first time in Mississippi, and I could not wait to see how he would react to the city. I been to Mississippi twice in my life, and I call Mississippi my second home because my family starts from Clarksdale and Lyons, Mississippi. 
    After we saw the “Welcome to Mississippi” sign on the interstate, we still had two hours left before we reached our hotel. We saw countless big rigs on the road as we drove to our hotel. My boyfriend loved to look at the houses we drove by. Once an hour pass, we both was ready to be just out of the car after thirteen hours in the car. We pulled over to fill the car and switch drivers. Another hour to go in the car, I never wanted to lay down in a bed in my life. We stayed at the Regency Hotel in Jackson, and it was minutes away from downtown. The outside of the hotel could turn some people off, yet once we walked in it was beautiful and gives a courtyard in Italy vibe. At the front desk, they sell little snacks and personal items anyone could need during their stay there. The staff was super nice and friendly, and that is something we are not used to in Detroit. Our room was nice, clean, and cool.  
    During our time in Mississippi, we notice the big cultural differences between Detroit, Michigan and Jackson, Mississippi. In the south, manners rules. What I mean about manners rules is the citizens are always friendly, smiling, saying please and thank you, and in Detroit the citizens use their manners as well, yet due to the cultural differences and climate they do not use them as often as they do in the south. 

    The trip was super fun because I got a chance to see how life moves so fast, yet enjoy the moments to slow down and look around you and enjoy the scenery. I strongly love the idea of people getting out of their home state and spend time in another state. Go for a drive, train, or take a flight and enjoy the state or city for its natural beauty and find out what the locals do for fun.

The night I was saved by the 90s

   
     It started out to be just a regular night out, just me and my boyfriend,yet it turn out to be uncontrollable fun. As we waited outside to get into St.Andrew Hall, we was just talking about how we both needed to just relax and distress from the past busy work week. We both was under the impression it was just going to be your normal club party,but we was so wrong.

     Once we walked into the hall, you hear DJ Bet (the DJ for the night) spinning all the goodies from the 1990's. This made sense to me since it said Saved By the 90s on our tickets. My boyfriend goes to talk to the DJ which I found is one of my boyfriend's coworkers. Now the music is blasting and people all in the venue  and huddle over at one of the two bars. People dancing and looking at all the cool 90's fashions. We danced and shared fond memories that were attach to certain songs that where playing all around us, when we hear the theme to Save By The Bell comes on over the speakers. That's when the crowed went crazy, and now I feel like I am missing something.

DJ Bet
     The Band Save By the 90s COMES OUT! YO! IT WAS A BAND! I was so shocked. I didn't know it was a band and neither did my boyfriend. The fellas started to play all the great songs of my young life. They played a little Green Day, Smash mouth and more. It was beautiful how great the crowd was how everyone was dancing with everyone and sharing memories of a decade that had long passed. In that moment I relived all those nights watching MTV and watching all of those videos. Then they had their female singer comes out, she started to sing "I'm just a girl" by No Doubt.
SAVEDBYTHE90S




     They finish their first set and told us to tweet the band on twitter with any request for the second set. DJ Bet came back and keep the party going. The night was a blast, and something totally different than I thought it would be. With everything that is going on in the world, expectantly with racism, to look around at a crowed room and see everybody getting along with one and other and sharing life stories through music was great.

     The band comes back out to do their second set. During the set they showed some city love by performing a song from our local artist. I'm not telling what song or who but I post a video below that answer that question.

 They really rocked the stage. The unknown fact about Saturday night is that was my first time seeing a live band concert.  All in all, I had a great time and would tell anyone if Saved By the 90s is in their town to go see them and they will not regret it. I know I don't. Make sure you follow the band on Twitter and Instagram @SavedBythe90s and let the band know I sent you. Rock on from the Rock City.

health in the medical field

I want to start off by saying that I am not a doctor or anyone who is in the position to give any medical advice. Once again I am not a doctor, I am posting this to shine a light on one of the least known jobs in our health system.

The job I am talking about is Patient Safety Attendant or better known as Patient Sitter. This is job is very under appreciated job in the hospital. The job entails a person who has CPR training at the least to keep visuals on a patient or patients( 2 is the max to watch for one sitter) for a minimal of eight hours. The hard part is being ripped from our socialist world for that long with no access to the outside world. You are not allow to have cellphones, iPod,iPad, or heavy reading materials. You must keep your eye on the patient and take mental notes of the patients' activities and the activities of the visitors.

The reason I think this is a hard job is because the  human mind wonders and you are force to stop your body from doing something natural for a small amount of money. Some health systems will give you a hour break like to unwind from the stress cause by the patients where some will only give you 30 minutes. I can say for me in this job it is hard to work in that position for more than six month. I notice I started to form panic attacks and the feeling of "the walls caving in on me" even when I was at home.

I feel that more medical professionals should respect Sitters more because we are doing a job you do  not want to do. We do more than just sit on our butts. We have a more mental job and means that our job is 90% mental in which just because you can not see our work like nurses and doctors do not mean our job is less important. Please be more conceited to us and our needs cause this is a hard job too.

This is not your Grandma Class anymore!!

 This week I went to a senior aerobic workout class with my mother. In my mind, I thought I was in for a hour long class where everyone do aerobic moves while sitting in a chair. Once I walked through the door, I knew this would not be anything how I thought it was going to be. I walked in  with my mother and the room filled with a roar of good mornings and hellos towards my mother and I.

We went over to the front table and sign in and pay our $2. My mom walked me around to say hi to everyone. Once the teacher walked in everyone found them a chair and got ready to stretch. The teacher was full of life and energy. The class stood up and worked out to a up beat song.

The class did low impact moves, yet it was very fun and you really don't think this class was for seniors. The last 15 minutes the teacher was leading the class in a ballroom line dance and the "Wobble" hustle. Once the class was over, the teacher lead the class in a cool down mediation and prayer.

As the youngest person in the room, I was amaze how fun and positive the class was for me. The class itself is a community of support and love. Any time someone miss a class everyone notice it and check on them. I am help my mom is apart of this group. They go on trips and other fun activities. You will be surprise the wonderful gems you find at your local community center. I suggest you go to your community center and check out the classes they offer.

What is Couture?

Hello my wonderful readers,

I would like to state how sorry I am for lack of posting. Now , I am back with a post for your lovely viewing pleasure. *muah* enjoy:

Last month, I went to a fashion show in the near by city of Ferndale, Michigan. It was the first Annual Lavish Couture fashion show. Now that it was the first annual, I many would turn an eye to some issues that may have came up before, during, and after the show. I tried but somethings I can not turn an eye.

     Once I arrive to the location of the fashion show, the show was held at the Rust Belt Market, there was no clear line stating which line was for people who already purchase a ticket(regular seating is $25 and VIP seating was $35) from those who were buying their tickets at the door. Once the crowd made a line for their respected ideas, one of the desired viewer of the show let it be known that she was not happy about the way the door was being manage, since the worker at the door did not have change to provide her for her purchase of the ticket. She state how she had to buy a $7 dollar piece of cake just to get change to buy a ticket. We was shown into a white inclement in the center of the market. The chairs was arrange in a triangle formation. There we were told VIP's could sit anywhere in the front row. I pick my seat in front row and wait to see what would happen next. The show was promoted to start at 6 pm, which is still during market hours of operations, yet the show did not start until after 7pm. Let it be known that we had to wait 30 minutes after 6 pm arrive before we could be seated. There where no clear sign of the start of the show.

     The MC of the show was lack luster for the lack of better words. There were microphone issues all night, and the deejay was missing his mark with the start and end of the designers shows. The live band was the best musical entertainment that night. As a VIP, along with front row seating, I receive a hookah. The hookah was set up across the room. The was no way of checking who was VIP and who was not. There was not a enough hookahs to go around so I did not partake of the hookah in which I paid for. The designers where up and coming in the fashion scene and some of their work shows that. The fashion was not my style so I would not say anything bad about the outfits, yet do to the microphone issues I was unable to hear the names of the designers. There was one store to have a spot in the show. First Lady Boutique had nice pieces yet they showed mostly prom style dress. With all I found wrong with show, I was happy to see Detroit to show other sides of it's self than music.

 Here is the link to all the photos from the show: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4FFmF39HjBQaWF6c2t1ZTlQb1U&usp=sharing

    The best part of the show was the introduction to a wonderful organization called Purity in Pink. It is a organization that set up young girls with mentors and tools to help improve their self esteem and self development. This is a great organization to have around for young girls today because of the bullying issue that have grown over the years. As a survivor of bullying, as a child an organization like this would have me out so much. If you want to know more about the organization go check out their site at www.purityinpink.wordpress.com and they always need more mentors.

MAHD: Rhare artist of the month


Detroit’s newest artist MAHD is adding energy to his career after his first EP release "MAHD ALMIGHTY". He released several songs and videos including "Lotus", a cover of Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis". MAHD has been featured on many social and music sites as VIBE.com, 2dopeboyz, Kevin Nottingham, and other main music websites. Check out the link to his video "Hello Detroit" http://youtu.be/kOPzbDI6Gp0
After writing and making songs the last few years for other musicians and himself, MAHD made his entry  into the music scene with his single "Pretty Ladies". The song dropped online to great acceptance  and love, and the official video is presented on World Star Hip Hop. "Pretty Ladies" continues to obtain steady radio and club play across the Midwest, most outstandingly in his hometown of Detroit. MAHD can be found on iAmMAHD.com and Datpiff.com.  
RhareFootage had the pleasure to interview MAHD , and get a better look at this “Rhare” artist.

1)            How long have you been performing/making music?
I've always messed around with music but I started taking it serious around 2010.
2)            How would you describe your music?
I would describe my music as heart felt and authentic. Like a collage of everything I came up on, with my own touch added to it.

3)            What inspired you to write your single “Hello Detroit”?
My city inspired me. When AwillTraxx  first sent the beat, I instantly felt the need to speak on my city. I just heard Hello Detroit once I hit play. The rest is history.

4)            What should your fans know about your album “13”?
This album is very personal. It's everything that happened in the year 2013. From start to finish. The good, bad and ugly. I really took my time on this album so I want people to just hear my story. Hopefully some can relate.
5)            What made  you pursue your dream of music?
Initially, I would always say I never wanted to rap for real. After a while of hearing many people say I need to take it serious, plus me not being satisfied from the music that was being put out at the time...I finally decided let me see what I can do. I just wanted to make music that I'd like to hear.
6)            When  was the moment you knew music was your passion?
I grew up surrounded by music. From my family to my friends. So I've always had a passion for music and it's always been around me. Even if I wasn't doing this full time I’d still be just as passionate about music. It's a major part of my life.
7)            What inspires you and your music?
Life experiences. I make sure I talk about my life, what I've done and seen personally. It comes out in the music. I feel like if I talk about my life then I'll always have something to talk about.
8)            Would you say being from Detroit influence your music? If so why?
Yes, definitely. I grew listening to Slum Village, Dilla's beats, Royce, Em and the list goes on. It definitely set a standard in my eyes of where my music should be. Detroit has made some of the best artists in the world so being from here definitely influences me. Also just the city and people itself play a major role.
9)            Do you believe your musical roots influence your music?
My musical background plays a big part in my career. Coming up I got to see the ends and outs of making music and the industry. So when I started it was like second nature.
10)          How would you describe yourself as an artist?
I would describe myself as an artist that can't be put in a box. Lyrical, original, aggressive, versatile and more. I'm always looking to get better and learn new things. I push myself with this music.
11)          Describe yourself in one word and explain why you chosen that word to describe you.
Determined. I say this because no matter what comes my way I'm determined to get where I'm trying to go. I won't let anyone or anything stop me.
12)          What would you be doing if you were not doing music?
I'm not really sure. Maybe I would've went back to school or something. It's kind of hard to say now that I'm doing it because I can't see me doing anything else.
13)          What do you look to for inspiration when writing your lyrics?
I normally only record when I've already been inspired by something. I write about my life so when something happens. Good or bad, I write about it. So I normally don't have to look for inspiration because if I haven't been inspired by anything then I'm not getting in the booth.
14)          What do you want people to take away from your music when they hear it?
I’d like them to take away something they can relate to. Rather it be a line I said or a whole song, if they can relate and it helps them get through their day then I've done my job. I feel like everyone goes through similar things so what I'm rapping about, someone else may be able to relate to it.
15)          What advice would you give to someone who wants to get into the music business?
Be prepared. You have to be prepared mentally and physically. There's a lot of ups and downs in this game and if you're not mentally prepared you may feel like giving up. Also stay ready so you won't have to get ready. This industry isn't easy so staying ready helps to make the job a tad easier.
16)          If you can say anything to your fans, what would it be?
I honestly appreciate everyone that rocks with me. Everyone that comes to my shows or help spread my music or support in anyway. I appreciate all of it and it helps me to keep going. Shoutout to the fans!

17)          What makes you a rhare artist?
What makes me rhare is I stay true to myself no matter what. Also I feel I'm the best. Seeing that there can only be one best at a time I think that makes me very rhare lol.

The Secret to a fun Labor Day Weekend

Hello my readers!!
It's Labor Day weekend in the city! What is fun to do?....Jazz Festival


The Detroit International Jazz Festival was originated in 1980 by Robert McCabe and the Detroit Renaissance. Alongside with the Detroit Grand Prix and the International Freedom Festival, Jazz Fest was anticipated to bring people into Detroit and to deliver all parts of the population with world-class entertainment. It rapidly became a Labor Day Weekend tradition at Hart Plaza, a city park beside the Detroit River designed by Isamu Noguchi and Shuji Sadao.
    
  The mission of the Jazz Festival is to: Adoptive the history and cherish the development of jazz,
Continue Detroit’s significant jazz legacy through educational and collaborative opportunities accessible to all, and Present a world-class signature event that makes Detroit a tourist target. 

Yes everyone this weekend is Labor Day weekend. I remember every year my aunt and uncle would go down to Hart Plaza to go watch the performances. This festival is the sign to the citizens of the city of Detroit that summer has come to a close and fall is here. I would tell anyone to come to Detroit and experience the Jazz Festival and I promise you after you come the first time, you would come back every year. 

For more information about the festival and performances please check out the website.

Chicago and Men's Fashion Week Chicago Finale show

Hi all my wonderful readers!!!!

Andrea Kelly 
     Sorry for the long wait, but I had to make sure everything was right before I post this. The last weekend in June, I along with my best friend went to Chicago, Ill. We really enjoyed ourselves. We went to the DUI fashion show which was the finale for Men's Fashion Week Chicago. Coming from Detroit, a city known for it's mix of classic and future fashion sense, I knew I had to bring it. The show was held at DuSable Museum of African American History located 740 E 56th Pl, Chicago, IL 60637.  The show and the week long event was organize by the one and only Blake Martin. The show was hosted by Tony Harper of VH1's Hollywood EXES and Andrea Kelly of VH1's Hollywood EXES, acclaim choreographer and dancer.

Me on my way to Men's Fashion Week Chicago
      Someone like myself that only see fashion shows on television or just read about them, I had a stereotyped thought in my mind of how it was going to go. The show was high beat the total time which was totally the opposite I thought it was going to be. The show had everything from comedy from the hostess, hot fashion, dance numbers, and celebrity model Sessilee Lopez. Unkowning to me there were a couple designers in the show that were from Detroit. It was great and fresh breath of air to see young people doing positive things and place a positive light on to their city. It was also great to see how the show did not show favoritism between the newer designers and the more known designers. Everyone had their respected time on stage. I know you thinking because it was Men's Fashion Week that it was only clothing for me, but you are wrong there was clothes and designs for men and women. Blake Martin made sure that whoever came to his show would have an expereince unlike anything before. There were a list of wonder designers  at the end of the video and, please go look up all these wonderful designers and their work, you will not regret it.
