Put the rum in the coconut

Ok, so … you may have seen some pictures floating around of me with a big ole coconut.  Yeah.  Let me explain.  See, what had happened was: I went to the Antilia Carnival 2010 Celebration the other week at the Tribeca Rooftop down on Hudson St.  Now, I’m not very savvy on Caribbean culture, so [...]

D-Nice is a cool cat

D-Nice and SekouWrites skip the red carpet.

My nomination for the coolest celebrity award goes to D-Nice.  Why?  Two reasons.  First off, he’s mad laid back.  At the recent Hennessy Artistry concert featuring Common and The Roots at NYC’s Terminal 5, D-Nice actually avoided the red carpet and walked behind the paparazzi to chat [...]

Sekou chats on “Nightline”

So, if you saw my two seconds of fame on “The Today Show” (supporting Rachel Greenwald’s new book), you’ll appreciate my cameo on “Nightline” (below). I’m racking up the colorful phrases, aren’t I? This particular phrase needs no explanation, though– “Nightline” did the explaining for me!

Sekou on “The Today Show”

That was me in the intro to the WHY HE DIDN’T CALL YOU BACK segment of The Today Show (I’m in the hat). For those of you who commented about my “sunny-side-up cell phone” line (LOL!), what I meant was: Don’t be putting your cell phone on the table during the date. It [...]
