“Some of my best friends are gay” is something I wouldn’t say, but it is actually true. I have many gay friends and I have learned a lot about the LGBTQ community from them. I even did a presentation on how to be an ally on social media three years ago. Being out in the […]
I have been in Savannah for two years, and I have disappointed in the lack of breakfast places and bakeries downtown. Now that has changed with the opening of Rise Biscuits and Donuts. Rise started in Durham, North Carolina and now it is about six cities in the Southeast. The Savannah location is the first […]
It’s hard to recap a conference like BlogHer especially when you spent three days meeting new people, listening to panels, being inspired by speakers and learning new information. I was impressed and inspired by Janet Mock, Serena Williams and Amy Ziering. Here are some of my random thoughts from #BlogHer17. Ana Navarro is hilarious! CNN […]
I am an old skool blogger. I have been blogging for over a decade. I first started with a personal blog, Nichelle Newsletter on Blogger. Then I moved it to Typepad and later over to WordPress. In 2004, I met Rachel and Allison, and we created Cupcakes Take The Cake. I have started and abandoned […]
John T. Edge of the Southern Foodways Alliance came to Savannah to talk about his new book that chronicles food and the modern South over the last 60 years. The book is called ‘The Potlikker Papers‘. In case you don’t know, potlikker or pot liquor is the liquid left behind after cooking greens. Anyway, I […]
My weekend was sweet. Friday, I met Jovan and Matthew from The Farmer and The Larder. They were in Savannah doing a pop-up dinner at White Whale Craft Ales. I know Jovan and Matthew through my friend Nicole, so it was great to see in person and not just via Facebook and Instagram. They gave […]
Since it’s hard to come up with a long blog post, I am making it easier on myself by finding three things I like in Savannah. Three things that I like this week in Savannah: The Hidden Hand Society (2301Bull Street) is a great place to find a quick gift for a graduate. I highly recommend eating […]
Y’all, I had a lightbulb moment. I have long known that Savannah is a “Facebook Town”, but I am a blogger and avid Twitterer. While listening to a lunchtime presentation on web traffic (sponsored by Hubspot), I realized that I needed to have a place to post events, news, comedy shows, restaurant openings, art […]
The 1970 vodka cocktail is delicious! I met the owner, Ikeda Feingold; and I really like the flavor of the vodka which has 19 ingredients including fruit and botanicals. It’s also 70 proof. Plus, the branding and look of the bottle are super cool. April 27th- April 29th Gypsy World is having a Vintage Extravaganza […]
Two weeks, I hosted a fun variety show featuring local Savannah talent. My friend Joanne Morton came up with the idea of doing a Planned Parenthood fundraiser. All of the performers were cool women. They were fucking cool women. There was singing, poetry, spoken word, comedy, dance and hula hooping. We raised over $400 for […]
