    Soulful and Passionate

    Selly, will you save my life? You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.

    Hanifah and Olive thanks for finally bringing the lovely and talent Selly to your kitchen. Pretty please, can you invite me the next time she's invited over? I'll cook some authentic yardie cuisine. Hell, I'll even bring all the ingredients. She makes me really want to drive down for your June 12th Soirée, if only I didn't have a case scheduled for the next day.

    Here's an alternative plan, tell Selly that if she ever wants to visit the Boston area, accommodations are covered.

    One love.

    DJ Selly is adorable which

    DJ Selly is adorable which in my book means she's HOT!

    That U People story was so intense.

    " ... I'd die from exhaustion from other people's stupidity." I think that perfectly describes how I feel a lot of the time when I think about the ignorance that often seems to prevail in this world.

    Good episode

    Thank you Michelle Webb for sharing your story. I hope since then you have healed from that. Don't allow it to break you.

    DJ Selly, I think you're our new hottie. I wanna hear you spin. Anyway you got a site that I can log on to?

    That was one of the most intense u people stories yet>>>

     

    I'm still in shock over this one.  I can feel the hurt and pain inside of Michelle b/c I was beginning to feel it as she was telling the story. I honestly do not know how I would have handled the situation had I been there.  They basically lured her into the town square and tarred and feathered her.  I would have been so angry I do not know what I would have done.

    Makes me wanna holler, indeed.

    Stay strong and I wish you all the love and happiness in the world.

    Amazing post

    I could not believe Michelle's Upeople story!

    Sounds like a bad nightmare, and can't believe someone actually lived it in real life. That is sickening! This is why I'm so determined to live an out and proud life, because the more of us who are out there, just living our life, the more difficult I believe it is for ignorant, and sick people like those described, to have any power en masse to put down another human! I'm shocked there are actually people out there who still yell out insults

    I'm still shaken about it!

    Anyway, wish I could make it to the event on June 12th, sounds like it'll be quite an event.  So how do we get DJ Selly's mix? I'm a mix-tape virgin, so I'll need some guidance!

    Thanks for the vlog. Other than the upeople story, I was laughing my head off :)

    Love never loses its way home. Remember...its about the journey, not the destination

    Thanks for this U People

    Thanks for this U People vlog episode.

    Both stories were interesting. DJ Selly seems nice and I would like to hear her djing. And Michelle Webb's story is upsetting and scary. Thanks for telling it and I hope everything is well now.

    I have learned something new, you have a dance permit in New York. Wow.
