Grace Greenleaf is Battered & Bloody But Alive In Latest Trailer for OWN’s ‘Greenleaf’ To Return on Aug. 15 & 16! (VIDEO)

Hello World,

Now that July will be over in just two days, we can start counting down the days until the second half of Season 2 of OWN’s “Greenleaf” returns (and my recaps) on Aug. 15 and 16 at 10 p.m. ET. LOTS will be going down according to the latest trailer for Season 2. Grace emerges battered and bloody and possibly the victor after her she scraps with her Uncle Mac on the floor of his apartment in the Mid-Season Finale in May. If you missed that episode, check out my recap – Greenleaf Mid-Season Finale Recap, Season 2 Episode 8: And the Sparks Fly Upward…So she is clearly alive. And that is good. Although it looks like she could be getting arrested!!! I don’t recall seeing Mac the molester in the trailer although I do hear his voice at the end of the trailer though. Where he at? He is too evil to be dead.

Other interesting tidbits from the video: So Basie Skanks is bloody too! Who did he scrap with?! Lady Mae and her sister Mavis look like they’re about to square off too – but in a ladylike fashion with a lot of words and neck rolling.  No blood and gore there. I saw LeToya Luckett, one of the original members of Destiny’s Child, in the trailer! What the Beyoncé and her twins is going on? And did you see Kerissa slap her daughter Zoe like she stole something?! And it’s going down with two new couples: Charity Greenleaf and Jabari & Kevin Satterlee and Aaron…

Check out the trailer below!!!


OWN’s “Greenleaf” and my recaps are ’bout to be turnt!

See y’all on Aug. 15 and 16!

Should Rapper 2 Chainz’s ‘Pink Trap House’ Be Used for a Church?

Hello World,

Here in the A for the past couple of weeks, folks have been flocking to rapper 2 Chainz’s Pink Trap House to take pictures in front of the hood anomaly. For those of you who have been privileged enough to not know what a trap house is,  a trap house is a “term used to define a crack house, or the surroundings in which a drug dealer or(trap star) would use to make their profit,” according to urbandictionary.com. In an effort to promote his latest album, “Pretty Girls Like Trap Music,” which debuted last month, 2 Chainz had a house in the A painted pink with the word “TRAP” painted on the front of it. Reportedly, the inside of the house is an art gallery. Since then, folks from all over have positioned themselves to take fun pictures in front of the 2 Chainz’s shrewd publicity tool and posted them on Instagram.

Below are just a sampling of these photos from ThePinkTraphouse Instagram page.

I admit I want to go to the Pink Trap House and take a cool picture. And although a trap house has a negative connotation, some have found positive uses for the Pink Trap House including a church.

As you can see, I guess service was held this past Sunday. And yesterday, a free HIV testing was offered was at the Pink Trap House…

But Greenforest Community Baptist Church Youth Pastor Al Hollie Jr . says he hates the Pink Trap House (although he doesn’t disrespect 2 Chainz) which he talked about on his Facebook page on Sunday and since then has been reported by Fox 5.  Below is his original video, which has been shared at least 400 times. He told the news station that his father regularly visited trap houses where he used drugs and is still a substance abuser today. Hollie noted the generations of families can be affected by what happens in a trap house and said that the people who have been taking pictures in front of the Pink Trap House couldn’t have experienced what he experienced as a child nor grew up near a trap house.

My husband and I discussed this over the weekend, and I can see his point. He doesn’t think it’s cool to take a picture in front of the Pink Trap House either. What do you think?

And do you think despite the negative connotation of a real trap house that 2 Chainz’s publicity tool can be used for positivity?

Any thoughts?

OWN’s ‘Greenleaf’ returns August 15 and 16!

I wonder what Ms. O aka Mavis McCready is thinking here?…

Hello World,

Can you believe it?! Half of 2017 is ova!  I hope you’re accomplishing your goals for this year! With God’s help, I’m making progress on mine…

Anywho, so although it’s the start of July as of this weekend, I’m looking forward to Tuesday, Aug. 15 and  Wednesday, Aug. 16 because those are the dates that OWN’s “Greenleaf” returns, according to Deadline.com!!!

Of course, now that I have a date in mind, I’m brainstorming about my “Greenleaf” recaps. If you have any feedback for me, please let me know. Do you like the length of the recaps? Do you prefer character analysis or a straight recap of events or a mixture of both? Any feedback is welcome and appreciated!

And if you’re in NOLA TODAY at the ESSENCE festival with half of America’s black population, the cast of OWN’s Greenleaf will be up in there!!!

Below is a juicy preview video from the Facebook page of OWN’s “Greenleaf!” The countdown to Aug. 15 and 16 has officially begun!

Any thoughts?
