wrote about Patrice Rushen’s classic ‘Straight From the Heart’ for this week’s Sunday Review. Have always loved this record and it was an honor to dive deep into Rushen’s journey from child prodigy to full-fledged genius. Plus some pics from moments where I was listening to the album over the past couple months

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking with photographer @jamelshabazz about the release of his new book, “Prospect Park: Photographs of a Brooklyn Oasis, 1980 To 2025.” We talked about one of our favorite places in the city being a place of refuge for many, his journey through photography, meeting people where they’re at, and the idea of love being the cornerstone of his work. It’s one of my favorite conversations to date. Please enjoy his stunning photographs, out now for @brooklynmagazine , thanks to @fordtony75 for edits
Had the honor of speaking with @truelaurels about his brilliant debut book “No Sense In Wishing,” becoming accustomed with the art of vulnerability, and striving to be one of the literary greats. Sadly we didn’t touch on how lethal he is on the court. It was a lot of fun
+ some pictures from places where I read his book at
