THE BET AWARDS 2023 MADE A SPLASH IN HARLEM
June 25, 2023

SPLASH REPORT: The BET AWARDS 2023 presented the CULTURE’S BIGGEST BRUNCH AND BLOCK PARTY in five MAJOR CITIES on Saturday, June 24th. Did you have the opportunity to pull up in your cityyyy? If you missed it, here is the rundown.

I pulled up to the BIGGEST BRUNCH and Block Party in my city YEAAAA!!! That being New York City (HARLEM) of course that was hosted by Juelz Santana at BLVD Bistro NYC (2149 Frederick Douglass Blvd, New York, NY 10026). The event was splashy, full of beautiful people, the energy was high, the food was delicious, and refreshing libations were flowing.

DJ Pete kept the crowd rockin’, two steppin’, and belting our hearts out with his mixes. DJ Hollywood gave us some old-school smooth flavor on the mic. French toast with bananas and shrimp and grits were on the menu accompanied by a champagne wall with the option of assorted mimosas, bellini’s, and more. There was also an opportunity to step into the Rap City booth to spit a hot 16 that was a nostalgic moment for sure.

I know my city turned up, so the other four locations had to be a lituation as we commemorated the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop. We gathered with joy, love, and for the culture.

Washington D.C. was hosted by Chinese Kitty, Charlotte, NC, was hosted by Tia Corine, Dallas, Texas was hosted by Yella Breezy, Houston, Texas was hosted by Young Lyric, and Atlanta, Georgia was hosted by Amy Luciani.

The legacy of music will be showcased, and a notable highlight will be Tina Turner being honored by Patti LaBelle. Busta Rhymes will also be receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. It is well deserved as he has transformed the visuals, sound, and landscape of Hip Hop with his unique flow. My care package is the perfect gift set to sip Möet and watch the BET AWARDS TONIGHT JUNE 25TH at 8PM EST/7PM C.

It’s Just A Conversation Podcast
March 22, 2022

Chanel Speedy®️ popped into It’s Just A Conversation Podcast with hosts Ceon and Marcus to promote her book Eye See Reality, speak her truth and offer laughs. Her intellect, comedic approach, and personality flowed just as eloquently and refreshing as the tone of her voice. Her assertive nature, confidence behind her experiences to translate into meaningful messages and give her standpoint within any topic thrown at her was entertaining.

Chanel Speedy®️ deep diving into her book Eye See Reality

To have her on the show and navigate through her resume, professional background and offer insight in regards to financial literacy, social issues and being innovative has demonstrated longevity, dedication and being fearless.

Eye See Reality written by Chanel Speedy®️ her authorial debut is for a mature audience with a poetic heart, as the volumes of three generations are compiled into fictional poems, letters, soliloquies and short stories. This penned exploration is shining a light on love, loss, personal matters, resilience, and growth. This book is for her, she who has faced difficulties and lived beyond her wildest dreams. This is for her, she who exudes an undeniable amount of strength to encourage you, YoU, and YOU to continue to shine your inner light beam. Despite the reality she has seen.

Eye See Reality is a fictional and raw component of the senses through the composition of vanity and the pitfalls of being a woman. Often, while reading an anthology of poems they are not interwoven to connect the fabric of character development.

What is the focal point of what we see as the reader? What does she carry on her sleeve from her experiences? What is the little girl looking forward to becoming with a higher form of self to make her decision?
