I woke up this morning, still in some pain, but with an inspiring email on my blackberry. It was a blog from Ariana Huffington about ending the War on Drugs. And this follows, my dear friend, Kim Kardashian’s blog last week, where she offered to help us make this issue a priority! There have been […]
I was so inspired by the responses to my Open Letter To My Babies’ Mama, that I decided to give away matching his and her diamond bracelets from Simmons jewelry to the person who can write the best letter to their baby mama. And I will be the judge. Look forward to reading your letters. […]
To all the fathers out there, it’s almost Mother’s Day, so you better start thinking about doing the right thing…Flowers, dinner, breakfast in bed, tuition, something special… Everyone knows Kimora Lee Simmons as a fashion model, author, the genius behind Baby Phat, President and creative director for Phat Fashions, philanthropist, reality television star, talk show […]

I received a new blog from Quincy Brown over the weekend, the follow-up to his amazing first blog, “A Letter To My Father.” Before we release his new blog (which we will do tomorrow), I wanted to reflect on his writing for a moment. We began GlobalGrind with dreams of stories like these…where artists could […]
Since April is financial literacy month I feel this is a perfect time to set the record straight concerning comments I have been reading online about the RushCard. Although a recent NY Times article was not judgemental about the RushCard, I’m disappointed that they did not do any research when quoting critics who say the RushCard […]
Dear Governor Paterson, I write this letter to you, my friend, to publicly announce my gratitude for your courage and leadership on issues that will ultimately make this state, nation and the world a better place. I have known you for a very long time and have always admired your passion for doing what […]
I saw in the press that Puffy just got a very significant role in a major motion picture. I started to send him a congratulatory email and then I started to think about the blog his son, Quincy wrote that thanked Puffy for raising him into what everybody agrees is a fine young man and […]
Dear Bossip, I read this morning your headline, ‘Digging for Gold’ with a picture of me and Julie Henderson saying that the picture was taken last week at some food event. This ‘digging for gold’ photo was taken last night @ my apt. The event was a fundraiser for the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding…so you’re […]

The daily practice of meditation is precious to me. It’s in the stillness and the silence that I am able to make sense of the world and the creative possibilities that help me do better in all aspects of my life. Young people are our most precious natural resource, and we must do all we […]
In light of the recent excitement surrounding Miss Jones’ blog, I want to express my thoughts on this situation. Global Grind was created to fill a void in the hip-hop space, where artists, fans and foes could speak their mind openly and freely. As a yogi, you all know that I feel that most people […]
