Renaissance Black Woman, Lil' Miss Mocha Mischief, and Eb the Celeb is what people have called me in the past and this site launced in January 2010 to build my brand as Eb the Celeb.

I was given the name Eb the Celeb by a colleague in 2006 when I was able to get an interview with an athlete that no one else could get while working for Mobile ESPN. Absolutely hated the name at first (isn't it corny) but that didn't stop it from catching on with everyone in my group who continued to call me by it so I eventually embraced it.

I have worked in urban radio (biggups to my 102 Jamz fam in Greensboro, NC) I've worked for the World Wide Leader in Sports, and a plethora of other jobs in news, reality tv, web content both as producer, writer, booker and as talent.

I've been blogging for a couple years now thinking that maybe having an alternative outlet would defer me from talking so much. It didn't work. I've had several different blogs over the past 2 years:
I started Renaissance Black Woman in 2007 as a way to express the challenges of being a single black female in NYC trying to find my way in life. With this new site I'm definitely going to continue with my personal and aspiring posts that consist of career bumps, relationship woes, and inspirational anecdotes.

The other blogs all had different niches but now I'm bringing all those things together in one spot. Music, Sports, Sex, Dating, Current Events, and everything else under the sun all from the Eb the Celeb perspective.

I am keeping my group sports blog http://www.sistapsports.com/ open for right now but I am definitely still going to dabble in sports a little here as well. Die Hard Dallas Cowboys fan!

I'm super silly but don't get it twisted, the kid is pretty smart too. I have a Masters in Music Business from New York University. Undergrad I'm an Aggie til I die graduating Magna Cum Laude from North Carolina A&T State University with a degree in Broadcast Production and a Certification in Entrepreneurship.

I might just be the goofiest music critic you'll find.

So please don't be sensitive. I like to clown and its all in good fun...but don't think it's a game because amidst the jokes is definitely some real talk. I know music! I'm a R&B head til I die. Old Skool to new. I also love blues, hip hop, jazz, gospel, reggae, some pop (the good, not the cheesy), a splash of house (because anymore than that and everything starts sounding the same) and some alternative because I absolutely love Maroon 5 and Lily Allen.

I say this because I don't expect to change your views on entertainment, politics, music, relationships, or any other things I may touch on in this blog. I am just stating my opinion and how I feel and don't expect you to agree with me either. I am always up for a good debate so feel free to comment whenever you feel compelled.
