A open mic hosted by MEC Radio DJ '718' jumpstarted the festivites.

What the film is all about according to slavewarrior.com:
"An African student in America travels back in time to his life in 18th century Africa when he was a war hero captured into servitude. Though a captive, he risked his life to save his captors’ clan from the invasion of some ruthless slave-traders, while attempting to rescue his beloved from the chains of slavery. Through this experience he comes to find some answers to some of his present day puzzles."

Meet actor Gbenga Akinnagbe

Some of you may recognize Gbenga Akinnagbe from his supporting roles in TV series, "The Wire" and "Barbershop." Did you know Gbenga use to wrestle before he went into acting?! A complete shocker, isn't it?

Gbenga in his "Barbershop" promo pic...

Gbenga with his co-stars of "The Wire"...

I watched the short-lived TV spinoff to the movie franchise "Barbershop" only to be annoyed at the portrayal of the African barber {Gbenga played the role.} I was annoyed because I loved the way the movie played the character smoothly out. So I was expecting the same thing nothing more and nothing less for the TV verison only to be disappointed. I can't blame it on Gbenga but I can blame it on poor writing. This is of course my own opinion--hate it or love it. I hope to see more of Gbenga in TV and movie roles. He can be like Djimon Hounsou and better if he's looking in the right direction. {One thing Gbenga shouldn't do is take on another zany African barber role ever again! LOL!}

Interested in learning more about Gbenga, aren't you? Read on for Gbenga's official bio from HBO.COM.

"Gbenga Akinnagbe, legal name Olugbenga Enitan Temitope
Akinnagbe, is a first generation American, born in Washington, DC. His parents
and older sister were born in Nigeria. Gbenga is the second oldest of six
children, one older sister and four younger brothers. His older sister is
pursuing a career in the medical field, one younger brother graduated with a
teaching degree, another works in a bio research facility. The youngest are
still in school. Gbenga graduated from Bucknell University. He attended on a
Wrestling scholarship, and had a dual major in Political Science and English.
Wrestling became a passion for Gbenga late in high school. He joined the team
his junior year and was recruited division 1 the following year. He went on to
become a champion all state and all conference competitor. Wrestling remains a
positive force in his life today and he is a volunteer coach at his high school
alma mater in Montgomery County in Maryland. This year the Mid-Eastern
Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel recognized him with the
Trio Achiever Award. This regional award is given to TRIO program alum that
embodies the spirit of the program's goal to produce successful individuals.
Gbenga is a very spiritual individual, with a strong faith base. He believes in
giving back to the community, and that "one person can change the world." Gbenga
graduated from Bucknell and started working in the congressional affairs
department at the Corporation for National Service the federal agency that
administers the nations Americorp and other volunteer programs. After becoming
interested in acting, Gbenga left his position with the government after earning
a role at The Shakespeare theatre in Washington, DC. He went on from there to do
theatre projects in the Baltimore and Washington DC area, including such
prestigious theatres as the Kennedy Center, and Studio Theatre. He had the
opportunity to work with renowned directors Michael Kahn and Reggie Life. Then
while taking acting classes in New Jersey he was invited to audition for a
reoccurring role in the HBO series "The Wire." After completing filming with
"The Wire," Gbenga moved to New York City, was signed by a manager and began his
career in earnest. He's worked at New York's famous Public Theatre, done
Shakespeare in the Park, was a series regular on Showtime's "Barbershop," and
became a lead character on "The Wire." Gbenga has a deep interest in the world
around him. He enjoys traveling and wishes to see the world as well as learn
other languages. He is already fluent in Spanish and proficient in most sports.
He constantly works on his own self-improvement and does whatever he can to
encourage the preservation of our planet natural resources. "{Source}

Meet novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The Washington Post Book World crowned Miss Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie "the 21st century daughter of Chinua Achebe." This past weekend I stopped by Barnes and Noble to see the latest African American literature, which also happens to be my favorite type of books to read. There Chimamanda's new book, "Half of A Yellow Sun" caught my attention. I was amazed and happy to see her novel on display. So I picked up her novel to see what it's all about. "Half of a Yellow Sun" depicts the tales of three individuals {Richard, Ugwu, and Olanna} during the Biafra War. If you're an Nigerian you know how important this war was. The Biafra War was essentially Nigeria's way of fighting its independence way back in 1960. {Nigeria has since become an indepedent nation free of British rule. Nigeria gain its indepedence on October 1, 1960.}

Adichie's first novel, "Purple Hibiscus" won critical praise from Nigerian and non-Nigerian publishers and authors.

Most notably Adichie's first work won acclaim from fellow Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe. The godfather of Nigerian tale Achebe had this to say of Adichie's first work, "We do not usually associate wisdom with beginners, but here is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie knows what is at stake, and what to do about it. She is fearless, or she would not have taken on the intimidating horror of Nigeria's civil war. Adichie came almost fully made." Prior to Achebe's acknowledgement of her work, Chimamanda used Achebe's poem, "Mango Seeding" in her novel.

Here's the exact citation that Chimamanda used in "Half of a Yellow Sun":

"Today I see it still-

Dry, wire-thin in sun

and dust of the dry months-

headstone on tiny debris

of passionate courage."

{"Mango Seeding" from "Christmas in Biafra & Other Poems" by Chinua Achebe}

Chimamanda's "Purple Hibiscus" won the Commonwealth Writer's Prize and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award.

Miss Adichie credits her parents especially her father, Professor Nwoye James Adichie for her writing success. Professor Adichie often says "agha ajoka {war is very ugly}" whenever he's telling a story about the past to his daughter. Speaking about the past Miss Adichie dedicated her current novel, "Half of a Yellow Sun" to "their memories: ka fa nodu na ndokwa."

Reminisice Artwork

Nigerian artwork has been in existence for the past 2000 years. Each time I visted the local museums in the city I am amazed by the amount of diligence, time, effort and detail given to wooden artwork drew up by our Nigerian ancestors. Naijia woodart is a popular form to advertise or show off in your living room. {ie. The Cosby Show and Girlfriends all have woodart displayed in their living rooms.} Here's the pick of the day from the Yorubas...

~~~

I discovered this Yoruba mask art work from "Remnants of Ritual" which has a collection of African art. {see today's artwork above}

"Masks known as Gelede are utilized by the Efe/Gelede Association among the western Yoruba. This society honors "the mothers" in relation to female ancestors and deities. An interesting duality exists, however, in that Gelede is also an anti-witchcraft society and, at the same time, is thought to have close affiliations to witchcraft itself. Here, the power of the mother in her role of birthing and life-giving is contrasted with the concept of the power of elderly women and witchcraft, thus giving and taking life, health or illness. This particular mask, carved from one piece of wood, may represent a young woman, bringing her goods to marketplace."

Get to Know Miss Chi Chi

I just realized I haven't really introduced myself to you all since my first post. "Self-proclaimed celeb entertainment news junkie" is how I described myself these days. I am a award-nominated entertainment news journalist. {I use to write for my college's paper as their entertainment news editor for four years.} I decided to share my love for celebrity entertainment news into a blog. I plan on expaning this blog into an lucrative and daily online celeb news magazine. Drawing upon that and also my experience working in the video promotions department of Interscope A&M Geffen I launched my first blog, Platform Launch Action in July 2006. When I attended the Nigerian Independence Parade this past October I decided to launch my second blog, Feels Good 2 B Home, which caters to Nigerian lifestyle and culture. Earlier this month I launched my third (and hopefully final) blog, Throwback Terrace which hightlights then and now music videos. Prior to my blogging days I graduated from college with a BA/MA in Corporate Communications this past May---a huge accomplishment of mine's. Blogging is something I look forwad to do daily and I love the good (and bad) feedback I've been getting ever since. I'm proud of my Nigerian heritage and I had to share it with each person who ever visited my blog.

Frequent Q&A's
Why are you called Miss Chi Chi?
Miss Chi Chi is a name that drew upon as inspiration from Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Diddy and Eminem. These artists all have a hip and sassy nickname I figured why not called myself, the nickname my grandfather calls me "Chi Chi" but then I realized "Chi Chi" is looks sort of plain so I added "Miss" to the front of Chi Chi to give a more feminine appeal.
Why is your blog called "Feels Good 2 B Home?"
The name of this blog came to me while I was listening to Kanye West's song, "Touch the Sky" one day on the radio. I'm kept nodding my head when Kanye echoed, "Feels Good 2 B Home, huh?" over and over again. I said to myself in that particular moment, "that's PERFECT! I'll call my new blog, "Feels Good 2 B Home." Feels Good 2 B Home covers my Nigerian heritage which is something quite big that I feel needs its own blog to cover. {feels-good2b-home.blogspot.com}

How can I become a link on your blogroll?
It's quite simple. I added those who covers similar topics or simply blogs that I feel is entertaining. You can e-mail me at feelsgood2bhome@gmail.com to link exchange.
Why have two other blogs?
PlatformLaunchAction is my first daily blog which covers celeb entertainment news, gossip, films, fashion, hot spots and much more. Throwback Terrace is something fresh covering then and now music videos at the reader's discretion! {throwbackterrace.blogspot.com} Since Platform Launch Action focuses primarily on celebrity entertainment news I didn't want my readers to get confused...content wised.

Nnenna and Eva at "My Model Looks Better Than Your Model" red carpet event!

Fellow "America's Next Top Model" alum Nnenna {she was on cycle 6} came out to support ANTM star winner Eva Pigford's new TV project last night at Eva's series premiere red carpet party. Eva is the executive producer for her BET J show, "My Model Looks Better Than Your Model."

Lola Ogunnaike faces off Against Arthel Neville for Star Jones' Slot on "The View"!

Lola Oguinnake is a star correspondent for major publications like "The New York Times" and "Vibe" magazine. She's interviewed stars like Usher and many others in the past. Lola has her eyes on replacing Star Jones on "The View." As you know Barbra Walters cannot be on every episode/taping of her executive-produced daytime talk show. "The View" is quite interesting to watch if you enjoy co-hosts Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth Hasselback fight over liberal/conservative hot topics. {Editor's Note: I couldn't find any picture of Lola online so that's why I'm using "The View" cast picture instead.}

~

"Exclusive
Lola Ogunnaike, meet your competition. Sure, The View has welcomed a string of black women to fill in for Star Jones' as-yet-unfilled seat. Like One Life To Live's Renee Goldsberry, whose June appearance was among the first auditions in the producers' quest to find "the new black lady." But this week-including right now, in fact; turn on your TVs-The View is welcoming Arthel Neville of Geraldo At Large. (And, in case you're wondering, yes: She's the daughter of Arthur Neville.) She guest co-hosted yesterday's show as well.
Unlike the currently suspended New York Times Style reporter Ogunnaike, we're told Neville's bosses at the Fox News Channel gave her permission-even encouragement-to try out for the show. An ABC insider, meanwhile, tattles to us that although View producers (which include exec producer and co-host Barbara Walters) were pleased with Ogunnaike's performance, they're quite enamored with Neville. We're told her prior TV experience gives her a huge leg up: She launched Extra, has served as a producer and talent on E!, and has a string of sitcom appearances padding her IMDb profile. She joined FNC in March as Geraldo's West Coast chief and, from what we understand, is well liked around Rupert Murdoch's camp. Continues our ABC source: "Perhaps most importantly, she's getting along with Rosie [O'Donnell]. Not sure how Elisabeth [Hasselbeck] feels about her, but if Rosie likes her, then Barbara likes her, and that's all that matters."
With Ogunnaike on indefinite suspension from the Times, we can only imagine she's spending her afternoons dialing View producers, wondering when they're having her on again. Her evenings, meanwhile, are devoted to sticking pins in her Neville voodoo doll."

John Legend used to date a Nigerian model named Tayo

I spotted this over at Juiicy Scoop. I am cheesing because he used to roll with a Nigerian chick...

"A while back he was linked to Nigerian Tayo Otiti. Rumor has it that although it was a very aggressive relationship, Tayo's agent excessively publicized their romance because she saw it as a good opportunity for Tayo to get more showbiz exposure."

J.Lo coming to Nigeria!

"Information reaching Nigerian newspaper The Weekend Tide's Entertainment desk indicates that come December, 2006, sensational singer and actress, Jennifer Lopez (J.LO) will be coming to Nigeria in December for a musical performance.It was also gathered that an event promotion company in conjunction with a foremost bottling company in Nigeria is putting together this December show that will feature other American musical stars who are yet to be named.The spokesperson for the event promotion company who spoke on condition of anonymity said "the loose ends of the deal have not been tied but as soon as that is done the whole thing will be made public"."What I can assure you now is that J.LO has agreed to come to Nigeria and if nothing happens along the line to change that decision, you will definitely have J.LO here in December, I cannot say precisely when in December, but all things being equal, she will be here", he said."{Source}
