I can remember seeing Lena Horne for the first time and wondering "Wow... who is this?!?!?" As I grew older, I learned more and more about her.... what an amazing woman she was. Since making Bedford-Stuyvesant my home in Brooklyn, I of course have a great deal of pride knowing Lena Horne walked the streets of Macon Street back in the day!!!

Rest in Peace, Lena Mary Calhoun Horne
June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010
My name is Audrey. I have been called many, many things. My Pirate Sistahs dubbed me Pirate Yemaya Chalice Moon, Mother of the Secret Realm (or Yemmy for short), which I remixed P-Diddy style into Miss Moon the Brooklyn Geechee. This blog is basically all about me and my life. I call it the rantings, ramblings and revelations of your average Brooklyn Geechee.
I have a lot of interests, and I admittedly get a bit dorky about them. So this blog will be about music, movies, politics, tv, getting healthy, and as Lisa Jones dubbed her book Bulletproof Diva (a must read!)... tales of race, sex, and hair.
I hope you like it. And if not, I welcome constructive criticism.
My only rule is be nice or leave.
