| Description: |
This blog is from the mind of writer, professor and Janet Jackson aficionado Hampton06. The blog is just as random as my brain. If you were given the choice between a pair of free tickets to see Jay-Z, or Colonel Abrams and you're inclined to take the Col. Abrams tix...this is the blog for you.
I've worked as journalist, marketing executive, essayist, producer and flunkie. Former publications include Black Meetings & Tourism, Sister 2 Sister and most notably the National Enquirer. Yes, I went through trash, crashed weddings and on occasion, spotted UFO's. Deciding to not permanently damage any chance of having the career that I moved to Los Angeles for, I left the tabloid for creative pursuits.
We all know that you can't eat off of dreams; "Fame costs." So, while writing and attending American Film Institute, I held various positions from the mundane - answering phones; to the ridiculous - being Sheryl Lee Ralph's personal assistant. I did the executive thing and ran an agency. It killed my creative spirit. I decided to change my life. I packed up, sold my my excess junk on craigslist and drove back east to spend time with my father who has been ailing and to just take a breath.
Now, I am an English/Cinema studies professor. I'm getting to do something I love, at a place I love. Life is good. When I'm not working, writing and performing, I sleep. |
