ANPU: WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN #2

Are we all not seeking a physical union that transcends the limitations of the flesh? How many of us could ever forget the first instantaneous connection, that natural attraction that pulls two unassociated individuals together, like the force of a powerful magnet?

A woman’s curves and contours can inspire a thirst in a man’s soul that the most violent, torrential flood couldn’t possibly quench! Infatuation may be fleeting, but fatally enough a victim can be completely lost when in love. No flower is more beautiful in full bloom than is womanhood. There’s no part of my reverential desire for you that could ever honestly be considered perverse.

Woman, I want to be to you what no other man has ever dared to be….

I long to be your provider and protector, your teacher and student! I want to give you freedom from the binding shackles of your inhibitions. Offer you the freedom to expose your natural hidden desires: without judgment or censor. It’s because of you that the statement can be verified, “Real life is far more fulfilling than any fantasy.” No earthly desire do I covet more than the gentle touch of your loving caress. There’s no way that you could possibly fathom how famished I am to taste the sweetness of your wet kiss. Your body’s natural fragrance is a call to the passion-consumed predator, buried beneath my civilized exterior.

I delight in your anatomical design….

Perfect balance is achieved by the combination of all-consuming powers of the feminine essence with its exact counterpart, the penetrating component of masculine eroticism. Engaged in these acts of intimate attention may cause one to become overwhelmed by intense, intoxicating affection. Raw and organic: woman, bathe me in your flowing fountain of femininity.

I yearn to be the instrument of your uncontrollable, climatic release….

GHETTOHEAT®: THE HOTNESS IN THE STREETS!!!™

GHETTOHEAT® STANDS STRONG!

GHETTOHEAT® continues to work within real industry standards, and has done so since its creation on June 4^th 2003. No prices have ever been reduced, no prices will ever be reduced: not even during recessions. I take great pride in producing wonderful works and quality goods, and will not devalue my company, authors, merchandise and productions, nor will I allow chaotic economic climates or unethical business practices by some within the industry, dictate operations at GHETTOHEAT®, or compromise my integrity. I love what I do and do what I love, and will continue to do so, righteously…. If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything: GHETTOHEAT® remains top shelf. GOD bless you all…. —HICKSON, 8.9.11

GHETTOHEAT® celebrates Black History Month in the spirit of the great Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., with great purpose, conviction, integrity, morals, scruples and leadership! His legacy will prevail, and I, personally carry the torch in King’s honor, not just for February: but 365 days! As usual, everyone, I’ve been standing strong on my ground, especially as of late, constantly being challenged by a few and “the powers that be”, as well as their antics: a small thing to a giant. In life we have to make decisions, and I’ve long chosen to stay in the light and serve one Master: GOD—my only boss, the boss of all bosses…. With HIM I can’t go wrong, so I rocks with GOD everyday, staying on a righteous path, while continuing to “HIP-HOP-AND-YOU-DON’T-STOP!!!”, GHETTOHEAT® style!

As CEO of GHETTOHEAT®, I’m always battling others behind the scenes (even my own authors at times, smh…), mostly for what’s rightfully mine and for what’s right, and will continue doing so, as I’ve never been a pushover (don’t let the big ears and baby face fool you: it’s not called ‘GHETTOHEAT®’ for nothing…) or one to just settle and accept anything presented to me. As a child I was once told by my father, “Just because there’s a plate of food placed before you on a table, doesn’t mean you have to eat it.” That always stuck with me, and I learned the real meaning to that statement, over the years. Soon, I’ll announce exactly what I left on the table, in regards to publishing, as I’m simply not biting: (I’m CEO of GHETTOHEAT®: THE HOTNESS IN THE STREETS!!!™), and will inform you all, worldwide on the decision I’ve made, and the direction I’m taking GHETTOHEAT®: an independent, Black-Owned Business. Stay tuned….

In the meantime, OCCUPY GHETTOHEAT®!, join THE GHETTOHEAT® MOVEMENT!, visit http:://GHETTOHEAT.COM often (absorb all on the website before the new launch), and continue supporting myself, my artists, and the independent booksellers and vendors who sell GHETTOHEAT® goods! Worldwide, I thank you for riding with me since creating GHETTOHEAT® on June 4, 2003, and thank you in advance for your continued support and loyalty in the near future! “WE AS A PEOPLE, WILL GET TO THE PROMISED LAND!” *APPLAUSE!!!*

ALL THE LADIES IN THE HOUSE SAY: A-O-W-W-W!!!

 

It’s 1983 and THE ROOFTOP roller-skating rink is the place to be! SKATE ON!, a coming-of-age tale about three teenage girlfriends from the Polo Grounds projects in Harlem, New York, learning life in the streets, getting into trouble and having carefree fun; while hanging out at the world’s most notorious skating rink, THE ROOFTOP. Meet the young ‘80s ladies:

 

Shani Smith – Darling, smart and naïve, this 15-year-old college student and devout Christian is growing bored of her sheltered life and “good girl” image; becoming more fascinated with fast life in the gritty streets. What happens when sweet and innocent Shani attracts Bricks, a ruthless drug kingpin from Washington Heights?

 

Keisha Campbell – Sexy, sassy and self-indulged, this 16-year-old materialistic girl is the “ghetto-princess” of Harlem. Extremely driven by money, power and the glamour of the drug world, Keisha, manipulatively goes to great lengths to get what she wants: even if it’s playing with fire by courting Bricks. Will lust and greed ruin her relationship with best friend, Shani?

 

Monique “Mo-Mo” Morrison – Rough, rebellious and raw, this 18-year-old inspiring rapper is a rebel without a cause, finding herself at war with the ghetto. An aggressive nymphomaniac, living minute-to-minute by any means necessary, will Mo-Mo succumb to the dangerous trappings of the inner city? SKATE ON! backwards into the ‘80s and reminisce on fashion, street and pop-culture, classic Hip-Hop, Dance Music and R & B at its best. Word up!

 

 

An excerpt from SKATE ON! by HICKSON: CEO of GHETTOHEAT®

A GHETTOHEAT® PRODUCTION

 

Quickly exiting the 155^th Street train station on Eighth Avenue, Shani, purposely walking with her head held down low, decides to cross the street and walk parallel to the Polo Grounds; not chancing bumping into her parents. As she approaches the corner, Shani contemplates crossing over to Blimpie’s before walking down the block to the skating rink. She craves for a Blimpie Burger with cheese hero, but immediately changes her mind, fearing of ruining the outfit Keisha gave her. Shani then heads towards The Rooftop, feeling overly anxious to meet with her two friends. As she carefully walks down the dark and eerie block, Mo-Mo creeps up behind Shani and proceeds to put her in a headlock; throwing Shani off-guard.

 

“GET OFF OF ME!” Shani desperately pleads as she squirms, trying to break free. Already holding Shani with a firm grip, Mo-Mo applies more pressure around her neck. Trying to defend herself the best way she knows how, Shani reaches behind for Mo-Mo’s eyes and attempts to scratch her face. Mo-Mo immediately pushes her forward and laughs.

“Yeah, bitch, whachu gon’ do?” Mo-Mo teases. “SIKE!” Startled, Shani turns around with a surprised expression on her face.

“Mo-Mo, why are you always playing so much? You almost scared me half-to-death!” Shani whines while panting heavily, trying hard to catch her breath.

Mo-Mo continues to laugh loudly, “Yo, I had ya heart! You almost shitted on yaself! I could’ve put ya ass to sleep, bee!”

“Mo-Mo, please stop swearing so much,” Shani replies, as she smiles and reaches out to hug Mo-Mo. Mo-Mo then teasingly tugs at the plunging neckline of Shani’s snug-fitting leotard, pulling it down to reveal more of Shani’s cleavage.

“Since when ‘Miss Goody Two-Shoes’ started dressin’ like a lil’ hoe?”

Shani, quickly removing Mo-Mo’s hand from her breasts, becomes self-conscious of what she’s wearing.

“I knew I shouldn’t have put this on. Keisha made me wear this. Do I really look sleazy, Mo-Mo?”

Mo-Mo frowns. “Whah? Shani, stop buggin’! You look aiiight. I’m just not used to seein’ you dressin’ all sexy and shit.”

Shani now looks towards Eighth Avenue to see if Keisha is nearby.

“Mo-Mo, where’s Keisha? I thought you two were coming to The Rooftop together.”

Mo-Mo rudely points across the street, as she loudly chews and pops on her apple flavored Super Bubble gum.

“Yo, see that black Toyota Corolla double-parked by The Rucker? She in there talkin’ to some Dominican nigga named Diego we met earlier on 145^th Street. We made that fool take us to Ling Fung Chinese Restaurant on Broadway. Keisha jerked him for a plate of Lobster Cantonese—I got chicken wings and pork-fried rice.”

Shani shakes her head and chuckles, “You two are always scheming on some guy.”

“AND YOU KNOW IT! A BITCH GOTTA EAT, RIGHT?” Mo-Mo asks before blowing a huge bubble with her gum, and playfully plucking Shani on her forehead.

 

Mo-Mo is a belligerent, lowly educated, hardcore ghetto-girl who’s extremely violent and wild. Known for her southpaw boxing skill and powerful knockout punches, Mo-Mo often amuses herself by fighting other peoples’ battles on the block for sport. That’s how she met Shani. Last January, Sheneeda and Jaiwockateema tried to rob Shani of her Bonsoir “B” bag near Building 1 of the Polo Grounds. Mo-Mo observed what was happening and rescued Shani, feverishly pounding both girls over their heads with her glass Kabangers. Mo-Mo didn’t even know Shani at the time, but fought for her as if they were childhood cronies. Since then, the two have become close friends—Mo-Mo admiring Shani’s intelligence, innocence and sincerity.

 

In addition to her volatile temper, ill manners and street-bitch antics, Mo-Mo is rough around the edges—literally and figuratively. Eighteen-years-old and having dark, rich, coffee-colored skin, Mo-Mo’s complexion is beautiful, even with suffering from the mild case of eczema on her hands, and with her face full of blemishes and bumps from the excessive fighting, cheap, greasy junk food, and from sodas Mo-Mo habitually drinks.

 

Bearing a small scar on her left cheek from being sliced with a box cutter, Mo-Mo proudly endured her battle mark. “The Deceptinettes”, a female gang who jumped Mo-Mo inside of Park West High School’s girls’ locker room last year, physically attacked her. Mo-Mo boldly took on the dangerous crew of girls all by herself, winning the brutal brawl, due to her knowing how to fight hard and dirty. With deep brown eyes, full lips and high cheekbones, Mo-Mo highly resembles an African queen. She isn’t bad looking at all, Mo-Mo just doesn’t take care of herself, nor was she ever taught how to. Because of this, Mo-Mo is often forsaken for her ignorance by most.

 

Awkwardly standing knock-kneed and pigeon-toed at five-foot-seven, big boned with an hourglass figure, Mo-Mo is a brick house! Thick and curvaceous with a body that doesn’t quit, she has ample sized forty-two D breasts, shifting wide hips, big legs, with well-toned thighs. Having the largest ass in Harlem, Mo-Mo’s behind is humongous—nicely rounded and firm. It automatically becomes a sideshow attraction whenever she appears, as everyone, young and old, stares in disbelief; amazed at the shape, fullness and size of Mo-Mo’s butt. A man once joked about “spanking” Mo-Mo’s rear, claiming that when he’d knocked it…her ass knocked him back!

 

Mo-Mo’s hair length is short, in which she wears individual box braids, braiding it herself; having real, human hair extensions. Often, her braids are sloppy and unkempt, having naps and a fuzzy hairline. Mo-Mo’s coarse, natural hair grain never matches the soft, silky texture of her extensions, but she always soaks the ends in a pot of scalding, hot water to achieve a wet-and-wavy look. Mo-Mo also never polishes her nails or keeps them clean, having dirt underneath them regularly. Rarely shaving the hair from under her armpits or bikini line causes Mo-Mo to have a rank, body odor. Someone even left a package at her apartment door one day, filled with a large can of Right Guard, Nair and a bottle of FDS Feminine Deodorant Spray, with a typewritten note attached. It read: “Aye, Funkbox, clean ya stank pussy and stop puttin’ Buckwheat in a headlock, you nasty bitch!” Mo-Mo assumed it was either a prank from Sheneeda and Jaiwockateema, or Oscardo—still sulking over Mo-Mo kicking his ass six years ago.

 

She now lives alone in the Polo Grounds, due to her mother’s untimely death six months ago—dying of sclerosis of the liver from her excessive drinking of beer and hard liquor. Just days after Mo-Mo’s mother’s death, she received a letter from Social Services, stating that they were aware of her mother’s passing, Mo-Mo’s only legal guardian, and that she would receive a visit from a social worker; one who would be instructed to place Mo-Mo in an all-girls group home in East Harlem.

Mo-Mo begged her other family members to allow her to live with them, but they refused, not wanting to deal with her nasty disposition, constant fighting and barbaric lifestyle. Nor did they wish to support Mo-Mo emotionally or financially, resulting her to rely on public assistance from the welfare office. At that point, Mo-Mo hadn’t any relatives whom she can depend upon—she was on her own and had to grow up, fast.

 

Luckily Mo-Mo’s eighteenth birthday arrived a day before she was accosted in front of her building by a male social worker, having the rude investigator from Social Services antagonize her with legal documents; indicating that she was to temporarily be in his custody, and taken immediately to the group home. “SUCK A FAT BABY’S ASS!” was what Mo-Mo yelled at the social worker before walking inside the lobby, defiantly slamming the door in the man’s face.

 

Failing most of her classes, Mo-Mo barely attends high school. She’s in the tenth grade, but belongs in the twelfth. Mo-Mo is still a special education student, now having a six-grader’s reading and writing level. Her former teachers passed her in school, being totally unconcerned with Mo-Mo’s learning disability. Their goal was to pass as many students as possible, in order to avoid being reprimanded by superiors for failing a large number of students. The school system still has quotas to meet, and doesn’t receive the needed funds from the government for the following term—if a large amount of students are held back.

 

Along with other personal issues, Mo-Mo is hot-in-the-ass, fast and promiscuous, having the temperament of a low-class whore. She’s a big-time freak, a sultry sex fiend with an insatiable appetite for men with huge dicks—becoming “weak at the knees” at the sight of a protruding bulge. Mo-Mo’s self esteem and subsidized income is low, but her sex drive is extremely high, having sex with men for cash while soothing her inner pain. Mo-Mo doesn’t sell her body for money due to desperation and destitute—she does it for the fun of it. Mo-Mo l-o-v-e-s dick, and decided to earn money while doing what she enjoys the most—getting fucked! Mo-Mo’s going to have frivolous sex regardless, “SO WHY NOT GET PAID FOR IT?” she often reasons. Academically, Mo-Mo’s slow, but she’s nobody’s fool, being street-smart with thick skin. A true survivor, one who perseveres, by hook-or-crook, Mo-Mo is determined to sustain—by all means necessary.

 

“AYE, YO, KEISHA, HURRY THE FUCK UP!” Mo-Mo beckons.

“Hold up! I’m comin’!” Keisha squeakily replies with irritation in her voice, concluding her conversation with Diego, “My friends are waitin’ for me—I gotta go.”

“Can I see you again and get ya digits, mommy?” Diego begs, talking extremely fast with his raspy voice.

“Maybe! And no you can’t get my number—gimme yours!” Keisha audaciously snaps.

Diego immediately becomes attracted to Keisha’s beauty, snootiness, nonchalant attitude and bold behavior. He smiles, writing his beeper number on the flyer he received an hour ago for an upcoming party at Broadway International—while exiting the Chinese restaurant with Keisha and Mo-Mo.

Now handing Keisha the flyer, Diego attempts to wish her goodnight, but Keisha immediately interjects: “Can I get three hundred dollars?” she says, looking straight into Diego’s eyes.

“Damn, mommy, what’s up? I just met you an hour ago, and you askin’ me for money already?”

Keisha pauses for emphasis, “…Are you gon’ give it to me or not?” she coldly asks, still piercing into Diego’s eyes—not once Keisha ever blinks.

“Whachu need three hundred for, mommy?”

“First-and-foremost, my name is ‘Keisha’, not mommy! And I don’t n-e-e-e-e-e-e-d three hundred dollars—I want it!”

Diego sits silently…simultaneously bewildered. Extremely turned on by Keisha’s brashness.

“Diego, don’t you want me to look cute the next time you see me?” Keisha insincerely asks in an innocent manner while batting her eyelashes, deceiving Diego with her fake, light-hearted disposition.

“So I’m gonna see you again, huh, mommy?” Diego nervously asks, smiling, as he pulls out a wad of cash from his pocket. The teenager’s large bankroll, wrapped in jade-green rubber bands causes Keisha’s eyes to widen.

“Uh-huh,” she effortlessly replies while staring hard at Diego’s money, now loudly turning up the volume on his Benzi box; Diego’s playing his DJ Love-Bug Starski mixed tape.

Keisha bobs her head…rhythmically rocks shoulders from side-to-side…rubs her thumb swiftly against her middle and index finger…sings chorus to Money: Dollar Bill, Y’all by Jimmy Spicer; “Dollar-dollar-dollar-dollar-dollar bill, y’all!”

 

Diego observes Keisha with his right eyebrow raised, peeling off money from his bundle. He hands the dirty bills to Keisha, hopelessly gazing into her eyes.

Keisha, becoming annoyed with Diego for showing too much of an interest in her so soon, rolls her eyes and retorts harshly, “Gotta…go,” as she attempts to reach for the car handle. Before grabbing it, Keisha quickly pulls out a Kleenex napkin from her brand-new, blue and white Gucci bag with the signature “G’s”, wipes her fingerprints off the console and opens the car door with the napkin in her hand.

 

“Yo, Keisha, why you wipe down my car like that?”

Keisha ignores Diego’s question and beckons to Shani and Mo-Mo, signaling them by waving her fabulous five-carat, diamond-adorned right hand high in the air, now quickly bringing it down hard to slap her right thigh.

“Yo, I’m ready, y’all—let’s go!”

Keisha walks around the front of Diego’s car and proceeds to cross the street, eager to enter The Rooftop. Shaking his head in disbelief, chuckling, Diego can’t believe Keisha’s sassiness.

“YO, WHEN YOU GON’ CALL ME, MOMMY?” Diego yells out to Keisha from his car window.

Keisha immediately stops in the middle of the street, causing the flow of traffic to halt. She flings her long, silky, straight hair, looks over her shoulder and tauntingly replies, “As soon as you step-up ya whip, nigga. Do I look like the type of girl who be bouncin’ ‘round in a dusty-ass ‘one-point-eight’?”

 

Diego freezes as Keisha continues to speak.

 

“You don’t even take ya whip to the car wash. And stop callin’ me ‘mommy’!” Keisha concludes, flinging her hair again by sharply turning her head. She then sticks her butt out and switches while crossing the street.

 

Diego stares long and hard at Keisha’s rump, as she seductively walks away, noticing how good the young girl’s behind looks in her skin-tight blue jeans. He immediately drives towards Eighth Avenue, repeatedly hearing Keisha’s last comments over in his head. Keisha soon stands near the front entrance of the skating rink and notices the huge crowd lined-up outside, as Shani and Mo-Mo greets her.

 

“It’s about damn time!” Mo-Mo snaps. Keisha disregards her and reaches out to hug Shani.

“What’s up, college gurrrl?” Keisha playfully asks.

“Hey, Keisha! I’m fine. I’m chilling-like-a-villain.” Shani replies awkwardly, not use to using slang in her daily dialect.

“Shani, it’s ‘chillin’’ not ‘chill-i-n-g’! Why you be always talkin’ so damn proper anyway? I wonder sometimes, yo, if you really from the hood!” Mo-Mo barks.

Shani attempts to politely respond back, but Keisha rudely interjects: “So, Shani, how’s D.C.?” Keisha asks, cleverly examining Shani’s outfit from head-to-toe without her realizing what Keisha’s doing.

“I like D.C. so far. I’m very excited about attending Howard University. I just need to learn my way around campus,” Shani answers. “I—”

Feeling jealous and left out of the conversation, Mo-Mo interrupts.

“Can you two bitches learn y’all muthafuckin’ way inside this skatin’ rink?” Mo-Mo snaps before swiftly entering The Rooftop, skipping everyone standing on line.

“Mo-Mo be illin’! She betta watch her mouth ‘cause I’m-not-the-one!” Keisha retorts while rocking her neck and waving her right hand in the air, flashing her sparkling diamond ring for all to see.

 

Shani, experiencing bad cramps from her period, and the stress from sneaking off from Washington, D.C to New York City for the grand opening of The Rooftop, tightly shrugs her shoulders to relieve the tension she’s feeling. Shani inhales a breath of fresh air…slowly exhales…quickly adjusts the plunging neckline of her scoop-neck leotard to conceal her cleavage…before she and Keisha follow behind Mo-Mo inside the skating rink.

GHETTOHEAT® HOTNESS: HICKSON

 

HICKSON is CEO of GHETTOHEAT®. Born in Harlem, New York, he remains a true Harlemite. Graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1998, receiving a Bachelors of Science degree in Advertising and Marketing Communications, HICKSON attended college full-time and freelanced as a fashion stylist—also becoming a backstage wardrobe coordinator for supermodel, Naomi Campbell. For five years, HICKSON was in charge of coordinating her fast, intricate outfit changes at major fashion shows, until becoming fully involved in the creative process of runway shows, later freelancing as a production coordinator for a leading special events/fashion show production company; producing avant-garde shows worldwide.

His grandfather’s death and 9/11 quickly changed HICKSON’s life, soon writing GHETTOHEAT® while dealing with struggles. Poverty, pressure and passion drove him into becoming a self-made “Hip-Hopreneur”—HICKSON creating his multimedia company, GHETTOHEAT® on June 4th, 2003, focusing on self-publishing, marketing, distributing and selling his works. Determination also forced HICKSON to publish other creative artists, where he’s always seeking new talent. HICKSON’s vision is to continue producing great quality works, his favorite subjects being his people, the inner-city voices of Ghetto-America. HICKSON’s next release is SKATE ON!—his first novel.

“READ MY LIPS” PROJECT, by Cyrus A. Webb, 12.18.07

 

“Read My Lips” is the new initiative began in November 2006 to encourage reading and writing among those both young and old. We want to help feed a passion for the written and spoken word to help individuals continue to mold the future.

 

Mississippi Burns with GHETTOHEAT: INTRODUCING SHA

 

The life that belongs to bestselling author SHA is one that many strive to have. She is a recent college graduate who went from working at a Waldenbooks store to having a book that was lining the shelves in Waldenbooks in stores all over the world. When Conversations talked with her via conference call, she told us that her father was the one who instilled in her the desire to read around the age of 3.

 

“Write was something that I always did. Beginning in the 3rd grade, I began to write poetry and continued from there.” SHA said that her favorite author is Maya Angelou. In 2005, she decided to take her love for writing to the next level.

 

“A group of my co-workers decided to write a book of short stories. The others didn’t follow through with it, but I continued.” The result was HARDER. The journey from manuscript to published author seemed to be just as seamless.

 

“HICKSON (CEO of GHETTOHEAT) signed me to a book deal after a phone conversation on December 31, 2005. This gained her the title of being The First Lady of the publishing company, a title that SHA doesn’t take lightly. “I have to make sure that all the authors are well-represented. When I am out marketing or promoting my book, I am carrying the banner for them as well.”

 

What drew her to HICKSON?

 

“I loved HICKSON’s desire and passion. When he would come to Waldenbooks for a book signing, he was very proactive. He knew his book (also entitled GHETTOHEAT) and knew how to sell it. He could leave there with cases sold when others were only selling a few.” The character Kai that pulls readers into her book is someone we can all relate to in some way or another.

 

“She has a sense of invincibility about her,” SHA explained. “She wanted what she wanted when she wanted it, and didn’t want to accept anything less. I wanted to make her real because the life she lived was real to so many people. It’s one of the most wonderful feelings when I see that people really get it. They follow the story and can relate to the world I am trying to convey.”

 

What does SHA want aspiring writers to know? “If this is something you want to do, then just do it. Life is too short to have second thoughts later or regrets. You have to take advantage of the time you have right now.” When asked by a member of Conversations book club where she saw herself in five years, SHA responded: “I want my writing to affect people and encourage change. I would love to win a Pulitzer Prize or a Nobel Prize. After all, Langston Hughes did it. Why can’t I?”

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE TIME WHEN I'D FIRST STARTED TOURING MY POETRY BOOK, GHETTOHEAT® IN SEPTEMBER 2003, AND WOUND UP BUMPING INTO A WELL-KNOWN URBAN AUTHOR ON THE BUS (WHO WAS ALSO TOURING AT THE TIME) WHO WAS DOING VERY WELL IN HIS CAREER, EVEN LANDING A DEAL WITH A MAJOR PUBLISHING HOUSE. I'D ASKED HIM HOW WAS HE DOING IN GENERAL, AND HIS RESPONSE WAS, "THE WHITE MAN IS KEEPING ME HAPPY." I WAS SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED BY HIS COMMENT AT THE TIME, ME BEING SO IN LOVE WITH BLACK PEOPLE AND ALWAYS WANTING THE BEST FOR US AS A NATION (I NEVER CO-SIGN ON THE CONCEPT THAT "WHITE IS RIGHT"), THAT I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO CONTINUE MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM FOR THE DURATION OF THE RIDE. YET, IT WOULD BE FIVE MONTHS LATER THAT I'D FULLY UNDERSTOOD HIS COMMENT, AS WELL AS BEFORE I'D BEGUN ADOPTING THE SAME CONCEPT. I'D LANDED A DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH BIBLIO AT THE TIME, WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PLACING GHETTOHEAT® TITLES IN THE TOP CHAIN STORES, WHO, I HATE TO ADMIT, WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN ARMS, AND TREATED ME BETTER THAN MY OWN.... IT WASN'T THE INDEPENDENT BLACK BOOK STORES THAT WERE FULLY PUSHING MY TITLES, IT WAS THE CHAIN STORES, STORES WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVED IN ME, SO MUCH THAT: THEY (B.DALTON, WALDENBOOKS AND BORDERS) ALLOWED ME TO COME WHENEVER I WANTED TO, AS WELL AS GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHATEVER I NEEDED, TO MAKE SALES AND FURTHER THE GHETTOHEAT® MOVEMENT--WHITE MANAGERS AT THAT. I'D DEVELOPED GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH MANY MANAGERS, THAT I'D SOON BEEN ASKED TO MEET REGIONAL MANAGERS (WHICH ISN'T NORMAL), WHICH MANIFESTED INTO ME HAVING MEETINGS WITH DISTRICT MANAGERS (ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD OF!). THEY UNDERSTOOD ME AS A BUSINESS PERSON, AND I UNDERSTOOD MY GOAL AS CEO OF GHETTOHEAT®: TO WIN! WALDENBOOKS HAD THE LARGEST AFRICAN-AMERICAN SECTION IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA IN MILITARY CIRCLE MALL, HAVING OVER 12 HUGE SHELVES OF URBAN FICTION ALONE, LET ALONE BLACK LITERATURE. BEFORE THE STORE CLOSED, THE SECTION WAS INCREASING--IT WAS MAINTAINED BY A WHITE FEMALE MANAGER, ONE WHO WOULD ORDER 300 BOOKS FOR MY HOLIDAY/SPECIAL EVENT SIGNINGS ALONE, KNOWING THAT AT LEAST 250 WOULD BE CLEARED PERSONALLY BY ME. SHE WOULD EVEN PUT ME UP IN HER HOME AT TIMES, IF I WANTED TO STAY OVER...SHE UNDERSTOOD ME PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.

I WOULD AT TIMES HAVE ISSUES WITH BLACK INDEPENDENTS (SOME, NOT ALL) WHERE THEY WOULD BOOK ME FOR SIGNINGS, IN AND OUT OF STATE, AND NOT PROMOTE ME OR THE EVENT: EVEN WHILE I WAS AT THE SIGNING. SOME WOULD ALSO DISRESPECT ME BY PLACING BACKDROPS OF OTHER POPULAR, WELL-KNOWN BLACK AUTHORS BEHIND MY TABLE WHILE I'D SIGNED, INVESTING MORE INTO THESE WRITERS, KNOWING ALSO SAID MENTIONED WOULD NEVER VISIT THE STORE. IN HARLEM ALONE, I'D ASKED A STORE OWNER IN 2003 COULD I SIGN AT THE STORE LOCATION. THE RESPONSE I GOT WAS, "I DON'T CARE FOR YOU STREET WRITERS ONE BIT (ALREADY SUMMING ME UP WITHOUT INVESTIGATING IF I'D DONE MORE THAN ASSUMED), WHEN YOU SIGN 10,000 COPIES OF GHETTOHEAT® LIKE E.LYNN HARRIS DID WITH HIS BOOK, MAYBE I'LL CONSIDER YOU THEN." I REPLIED, "WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IF I SIGN 10,000 COPIES ON THE STREET, I WON'T NEED TO SIGN IN YOUR STORE. NOW, I'M AVAILABLE ON SO-AND-SO DATE TO SIGN--DOES THIS DATE WORK FOR YOU?" IT WAS THEN WHEN STORE OWNER "UNDERSTOOD" I WASN'T TYPICAL AND BOOKED ME. YET, I WOULD'VE ASSUMED TO BE WELCOMED MORE AS A HARLEMITE--REASON WHY I NEVER ASSUME ANYMORE. I ALSO HAD INCIDENTS (SOME PENDING AND I CAN'T GO INTO FULL DETAIL, DUE TO ME SUING ENTITIES) WHERE I LEFT BOOKS ON CONSIGNMENT WITH INVOICES, AND THE STORES SOLD THEM, YET REFUSED TO SUBMIT PAYMENT, REASON WHY I DON'T DO CONSIGNMENT ANYMORE--NOT EVEN WITH THOSE I'M CLOSE WITH IN THE INDUSTRY. IF BOOKS AREN'T PAID FOR IN ADVANCE (AT WHOLESALE PRICE: 60 PERCENT DISCOUNT GRANTED TO STORES), OR IF I DON'T WALK THEM IN, SELL AT VENUE AND GET PAID AFTER THE EVENT IS OVER (60 PERCENT PROFIT, MY FAVOR), THEN I WON'T SIGN. PERIOD.... I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE, AND DEFINITELY NOT FROM "MY PEOPLE". A SITUATION HAD GOTTEN SO CHAOTIC WITH A STREET VENDOR WHOM I'D GRANTED CREDIT WITH AND HE TRIED TO BEAT ME BY NOT PAYING ME, THAT I ACTUALLY HAD TO TAKE 30 COPIES OF A WELL-KNOWN URBAN PUBLISHER AND AUTHOR'S TITLE OFF HIS TABLE FORCEFULLY, JUST TO RECOUP SALES OF 30 GHETTOHEAT® TITLES, IN WHICH I LATER SOLD AND GOT MY RETURN BACK, BUT LOOK AT HOW I DID....

SO, IT GOES BEYOND WHAT THE TOP 10 REASONS WHY BLACK BOOK STORES ARE CLOSING. SOME STORES AREN'T IN ACCORD WITH WINNING, THE MOTTO IS "TO BEAT OTHERS". ALSO, FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I FIND THAT MANY STORE OWNERS/MANAGERS HAVE BECOME COMPLACENT, NOT PUSHING THE ENVELOPE TO WIN SALES AND A GAIN A HUGE BASE OF CUSTOMERS TO CONSTANTLY SUPPORT THEIR STORE LOCATIONS. THEY DON'T PROMOTE BOOK SIGNINGS, DO BOOK SIGNINGS, MAINTAIN DATABASES TO REACH OUT TO CUSTOMERS, MERCHANDISE BOOKS TO LOOK APPEALING WITHIN STORES, OR PROVIDE FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE TO OTHERS. THE ENERGY PROJECTED IS WELL UNDERSTOOD, AND POTENTIAL SALES THAT COULD'VE BEEN GRANTED TO STORES WERE GIVEN TO CHAINS OR DISCOUNT OUTLETS LIKE AMAZON.COM. WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO SUPPORT AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT DOESN'T GREET YOU? SOMETHING SO BASIC CAN GO A LONG WAY: "GOOD AFTERNOON, WELCOME TO 'MY BLACK BOOK STORE', HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY?" SIMPLE. THE EFFORT IS NOT GOING WHERE IT SHOULD AND IT'S KILLING BLACK BOOK STORES.

SAD TO SAY THAT "THE WHITE MAN IS KEEPING ME HAPPY" CONCEPT WAS DEFINITELY IN EFFECT: A CHECK IN THE MAIL EVERY 30 DAYS--NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, AND WITHOUT INQUIRING ABOUT IT; PAYMENT IS SYSTEMATIC! YET, I STILL LOVE MY PEOPLE, AND WANT THE BEST FOR US, YET NOTHING WILL IMPROVE UNLESS CHANGE IS MADE. I HAD TO RECENTLY TELL A FAMOUS STORE OWNER WHOSE STORES WENT DEFUNCT DOWN SOUTH TO "LEARN HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY". FORMER OWNER IN RETURN THANKED ME FOR SAYING SO, AND HAS ACTUALLY TAKEN MY ADVICE. ONE THING IS FOR SURE: I'M KNOWN NOT TO "KISS ASS" FOR PRODUCT PLACEMENT, SALES OR EXPOSURE. I SPEAK THE TRUTH, SOMETHING THAT I'M LOVED AND HATED FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT IS WHAT IT IS: THE TRUTH WILL BE TOLD! THERE'S MUCH I CAN ADD TO WHAT I'VE ALREADY SAID, BUT I THINK I'VE SAID MORE THAN ENOUGH. BLACK BOOK STORES NEED TO STEP IT UP, OR BE COMPLETELY CLOBBERED BY ONLINE OUTLETS.... PEACE & GHETTOHEAT®!

THANK YOU, WRITERGIRL870. I APPRECIATE YOUR GREAT COMMENT! BUT TROY, I BEG TO DIFFER ABOUT OMAR BEING THE ORIGINAL HOMO-THUG: THAT ALLEGEDLY WAS J. EDGAR HOOVER, IN MY OPINION.

HELLO, CHRYSTALFLANDERS. THANKS FOR COMMENTING. IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT NEW AND SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS, AS WELL AS THOSE PUBLISHED AT INDEPENDENT COMPANIES. THEY'RE CONSIDERED THE UNDERDOGS TO THE WELL-KNOWN WRITERS WHO USUALLY GAIN MORE RECOGNITION THAN SAID MENTIONED. YET, I'M VERY AGGRESSIVE IN MY APPROACH TO ADVERTISING, MARKETING AND PROMOTION, SO I ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO GET NOTICED, TASTEFULLY: HENCE NO PUBLICIST SINCE I STEPPED ON THE SCENE IN 2003. WHEN I'M EDITING (I EDIT ALL TITLES I PUBLISH) OR CREATING URBAN AND/OR STREET-LIT WORKS (THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO), I MAKE SURE TO USE SLANG, AND EBONICS, AS YOU WANT THE CHARACTER'S VOICE AND PERSONA TO BE AUTHENTIC AND TRUE TO NATURE. THE NARRATION WILL BE IN PROPER ENGLISH, BUT IF THE CHARACTER IS HARDCORE, THEN IT SHOULD TRULY REFLECT. EDITING ACTUALLY EXHAUSTS ME, AS I NOT ONLY BECOME EVERY CHARACTER WITHIN THE STORYLINE, I EMERGE SO DEEPLY WITHIN IT THAT I BECOME EVERY ASPECT OF THE TALE, DOWN TO EVERY DETAIL AND DESCRIPTION. IT DRAINS ME, BUT I ALWAYS LOVE THE END RESULT. MOST THINK EDITING IS SOLELY ABOUT CORRECTING THE GRAMMAR, BUT IT'S BEYOND THAT: YOU HAVE TO BUILD THE STORY AND CHARACTERS, WAY BEFORE MAKING GRAMMATICAL CORRECTIONS. THIS IS THE PART I LOVE THE MOST, ENHANCING STORYLINES AND GIVING LIFE TO CHARACTERS, AND MAKING THE VISION OF THE AUTHOR'S WORK, BIGGER AND BETTER. IT'S A GUILTY PLEASURE OF MINE....

IRONSMITH, I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP YOU ABREAST OF THE RELEASE DATE TO THE SEQUEL OF AND GOD CREATED WOMAN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU E-MAIL ME AT HICKSON@GHETTOHEAT.COM, WHERE I'LL ADD YOU TO THE LIST TO GET ALL PROMOTIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS--EVEN THE ORIGINAL ONES FROM DAY ONE. I'M ON GODSPEED RIGHT NOW, AND WHEN GOD PROMPTS ME WITH THE SIGNAL TO GO FORWARD, I DEFINITELY WILL. TIMING IS EVERYTHING. YET, READ THE OTHER TITLES, YOU WILL ENJOY THEM, ALSO. IRONSMITH, WITH ALL THATS GOING ON IN THE INDUSTRY (RESEARCH THE DRAMA), I'M JUST HAPPY TO STILL BE HERE, EIGHT YEARS STRONG! GOD'S BLESSINGS...AND I'M THANKFUL. TAKE CARE.

THE FOLLOW-UP TO AND GOD CREATED WOMAN BY MIKA MILLER WILL BE EXPLOSIVE: GHETTOHEAT® HOTNESS! STAY TUNED....

ANPU: WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN

 

Delicate, yet resilient, the complexities of a woman’s mind and body has conformed mankind since the origin of our very existence. Maybe that’s because, much like any other miraculous form of creation, the acquisition of a woman’s immeasurable mental and anatomical treasures, are granted only to those who are more in accord with the rhythm of their natural vibrations. Often times, seeking to suppress or dominate her vibration causes separation. The union between compatible individuals, in many instances, is as close in proximity as a mortal couple can come to transcending the limitations of their own bodies.

The first to nurture us was a woman….

Passed along into the arms of other nurturing women, we learned of life, self and that which is greater than us all. With voices naturally melodic in inflection, we learned the instruction that if expressly followed, would reap most of us success and long life. After mortal combat with the principalities of this world, and with our unfulfilled expectations confirmed, upon whose bosom do I rest my weary head? Whose heart do I trust my deepest secrets? At the fragrantly tempting juncture of her loins alone can satisfy both my insatiable thirst and hunger.

No earthly desires do I covet more than a woman’s soft, loving caress. From my reflection in her bright, shining eyes, my chest swells great pride. Through a woman’s silent instruction, I discover the true path to manhood and maturity. Her contour and curvature mirrors the wonders of the fertile and life-sustaining Earth. A woman’s body is a perpetual spring—a nourishing fountain. Like sweet nectar from a ripened fruit, milk and honey flow abundantly from her blossom, in full bloom.

If only men would remove the larceny from their hearts: maybe it would be possible to convince her to remove a few protective thorns….

I’MA HOMO, SON by HICKSON

Yeah, playa, no doubt: I’m that official nigga wit’ mad clout!

Naw, I don’t switch or twitch, kid

No pop, dip and spin - mad rugged

Play basketball - blast my hip-hop

Talk shit wit’ my niggas at the barbershop

But make no mistake: I’ma homo, son

Not some soft, queen-ass fag

Far from a sissy, a punk or some bitch-nigga in drag

I’m hardcore—grimy: reppin’!

It’s all-good!

Show me love, son

Give a nigga daps when I’m chillin’ in ya ghettohood

Yo, I “catch it” as well as I “throw it”

And if I didn’t tell you, kid, you’d never know it

Rough: my steez is tight!

Big appetite for the fellas though

RESPECT MY GANGSTA, AIIIGHT?

Just cause I like niggas doesn’t mean I’m tryin’ to get wit’ you, Jigga!

I’m that cool-ass brotha—no need to fear

Or act nervous and different whenever I’m near

“Oh, now you wanna act shady wit’ me? Stop that shit, bee…we’ve been friends since age three!”

Sistas, I love y’all, too—don’t hate!

NOT MY FUCKIN’ FAULT YA MAN ASKED ME FOR A DATE!

It’s mad cats that’s on the low

Many dudes are bisexual - just thought you should know…

I’m just tryin’ to get through the day - findin’ my way

Homo-Thug wit’ a lot to say today

Yeah, Ma-Ma, I’m gay!

None ya business who I lay

I ain’t know that nigga I fucked was ya man, if I may

Yo! Don’t play!

At times, niggas stray away

USE THEM CONDOMS!

Or that price you’ll pay one day…okay?

“Whah? Nigga, whachu tryin’ to say?”

[Cue Homo-Thug - talks extremely fast - loud]

“I’M-JUST-TRYIN’-TO-GET-THROUGH-THE-DAY-FINDIN’-MY-WAY-

HOMO-THUG-WIT’-A-LOT-TO-SAY-TODAY-YEAH,-MA-MA-I’M-GAY-

NONE-YA-BUSINESS-WHO-I-LAY-I-AIN’T-KNOW-THAT-NIGGA-I-FUCKED-

WAS-YA-MAN,-IF-I-MAY-YO,-DON’T-PLAY-AT-TIMES,-NIGGAS-STRAY-

AWAY-USE-THEM-CONDOMS-OR-THAT-PRICE-YOU’LL-PAY-ONE-DAY

[Cue exhale]

“…OKAY?”

“Uh, uh, oh…okay!”

“YEAH, AIIIGHT, MA-MA, HAVE A NICE DAY!”

Yo, my man—I know you don’t understand

How a nigga like me can get wit’ a dude…

But I know what I like

Get use to it!

I ain’t tryin’ to be rude

Shit is real

Yo, this is the deal: I’ma homo, son

It’s nuthin’ you can do

MIKA MILLER: MOVING CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF HER DREAMS

 

Bestselling author, MIKA MILLER has been a creative individual all of her life. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she has always enjoyed writing poetry, short stories and plays, so it seemed like a natural revolution that she would write a book. In talking with her in our exclusive interview, MIKA MILLER told Conversations that she “never had any doubt” when it came to the success that is now hers.

 

“Even when things do go the way you expect, you can’t dwell on the trouble.” She was working a corporate job that wasn’t fulfilling to her, and found the courage to step out on faith and pursue her passion as a writer. “I wondered what type of legacy I was going to leave for my son,” she said. This gave her the courage to do everything she could to make her career as an author work. “African-American women need to seek the beauty of being a woman,” MIKA MILLER said when discussing her book, AND GOD CREATED WOMAN. “The characters naturally evolved. I didn’t really know their (the characters’) stories. At the end of the day, I wanted to show the different facets of a woman. That was the message I wanted to convey. If life’s circumstances bring you trials, work to overcome them. Don’t give up.”

 

MIKA MILLER went on to tell us that the manuscript for what was AND GOD CREATED WOMAN was already complete when she met HICKSON, the man behind the publishing company, GHETTOHEAT. She was drawn to his vibe, and felt what he was talking about when it came to promoting literacy. The rest of their relationship is literary history. As someone who is always curious about the give and take of the publishing industry, I asked her about the development of her book, beginning with the cover.

 

“The vision (for the cover) was a 50/50 one. We talked about how the cover would be. Since there are so many books out there, I didn’t want it to be lost on the shelf. It had to stand out, but I wanted all women to feel comfortable about carrying the book. HICKSON is a mastermind at whatever he does.” I asked her what it was like to see and hear the feedback of her debut novel. “When someone praises your work it feels like you are being accepted. This is your life’s work and you want people to like what you write. The response has been overwhelmingly positive.” MIKA MILLER also told Conversations that the lesbian community has been very supportive of her, embracing the story because it shows same-gender-loving women in a more positive light. How did she feel when she first saw her book in a store?

 

“It was very surreal,” she confessed. I guess it’s like an artist hearing their song on the radio for the first time. It was a lifelong dream come true.” She then adds: “I didn’t write this book for the money. I wanted to reach people.” At the end of the day MIKA MILLER hopes that she can encourage others to follow their dreams. “I want them to know that if I can do it, so can they.” And what helped her from the very beginning? “You just can’t give up. Dream big and then move confidently in the direction of your dreams.”
