Brown Sugar

 "When did you first fall in love with Hip-Hop?"
I fell in love with music and " the arts" at a young age. I was always aware that I would never produce these things but I appreciated others talents.

I've always loved TV & movies. From a very young age I used them to escape  from my surroundings. The first tv I bought I was btw- 12-14. It  was a Sullivan. 9/13 inch tv with the combo vhs player for a whopping  $109  from SAMS. This purchase  quite possibly was the first tv I ever had in my room.

When I moved out at 17 I  brought that tv with me . It was def a talking point of my house because it was so small. Everyone would laugh because they knew how into movies and TV I was but didn't understand how I could enjoy it on such a small screen. 

One of the first movies I bought was Brown Sugar I'd seen it on tv a couple times and it just made me feel a way that I could never describe .

I watched Brown Sugar a couple weeks ago for the first time since living in our house, and it  still gives me that tingling feeling. Classic 90s/ early 2000 love story. Boy meets girl, girl knows she's in love in boy but can't allow herself to really fall in love with boy. Then boy falls in love with the wrong woman. Girl shrugs off feelings and tries to focus on another boy. And without giving away the entire movie I'm just going to stop there.

If you are into love. Or if you love Hip Hop, anything 2000s , a fan of Taye Diggs or Sanaa Lathan
go find this movie and watch it.
