Is it okay for a friend or family member to date your Ex???

Would you feel differently if the person your Ex was dating was a friend from high school or a distant cousin?  If you guys broke up several years ago would it still bother you? If it does bother you does that mean you still have feelings for this person? Is it a form of disrespect if that person has been around your kids, family members and other friends?  Would it make you think that they always felt that way when the two of you we're together?

What if you and your Ex had kids together or always wanted kids and now you find out that your friend is pregnant with your Ex baby?  What time frame makes is acceptable or is there a time frame? When it comes to dating an Ex do men feel differently than women? Join the ladies of O.W.W.H.H tonight on Bks1radio.com at 11:00 pm as we discuss this topic.

Topic: Verbal abuse: Why does it have to hurt so much?

Have you ever met someone that appeared perfect? Surprised you with little things like flowers, a card, or your favorite candy? This person always made you smile, laugh and made you feel very special, but after awhile the relationship started to change. The beautiful romance started to fade away and what appeared to be a sweet love story is now a horrible nightmare. Are you constantly being blame for everything? Do you constantly try to explain yourself? Are your personal needs no longer important? Do you feel afraid, threaten, or harassed? Are you always sad? Did you know that words can be used to punish someone and that verbal abuse can be used as an attempt to control the actions of another?

Verbal abuse can affect both men and women. Often it is unpredictable and can lead to mental anguish. But, why does verbal abuse hurt so much? Is it true that negative words can cause emotional pain? Break the cycle and join the ladies of O.W.W.H.H Friday night at 11:00 pm est. on Bks1radio.com.

Topic: Sexual Stereotypes

Are sexual stereotypes undesirable and harmful? Many men and women buy into sexual myths and fantasies. As a result they are not only the victims but they are also co-conspirators in perpetuating and promoting sexual misconceptions. If a person makes a living by taking off their clothes and dances provocatively on stage does that mean that they are great in bed? If a woman went to private school does that make her easier to sleep with ? Are overweight women sexually desperate? Women with tattoos are they sexually outgoing? Is it true that the darker the berry the sweeter the juice?

Sexual stereotypes are everywhere in night clubs, movies, commercials and magazines. But, does what we think about sex affect our lives? Is it true short men are short in other areas? If a man has big feet does that mean he is sexually endowed? In order to have great sex does size really matter? Are sexual  stereotypes affecting your life? Tonight on Bks1radio.com at 11 pm est. join the ladies of O.W.W.H.H as we discuss this interesting topic.

Special Guest:  Author Marc Brissett

Marc Brissett is a New York Author who delved into writing books as a natural progression from his first experience with writing, song writing. Marc has been writing songs since he was a teenager and his first book;”Invisible” about twins is based on a song he wrote called “Invisible man”. He also credits his mother as an inspiration as she was a twin herself. Her twin died at birth much like the character in his book.

Marc has been a BMI writer since the early 90’s and one song he wrote appeared in a New Line Cinema film. Marc has also added voice over to his list of skills when he voiced a toy commercial for Roseart. Marc’s first love will always be athletics as he ran track and played basketball in school. His wall full of trophies in what he calls the “Bling Bling” room would give you an indication of how athletic he is. Marc prides himself on being called one of the fastest kids in the country when he was in high school. Marc later turned his attention to basketball and played point guard for his college team.

He now runs a youth basketball league called MVP Basketball League for the youth in Queens, NY. Marc brings the same intensity to writing books as he did to sports. Marc uses a lot of his athletic experiences in his writing, if you see a basketball story or a basketball character in a story he wrote, it most likely came from a real life experience.

Topic: When is the right time to get married?

How does someone know when is the right time to get married? Or, is it a right time, the right age, or right mate?

Should financial income, educational background, friends, or family play a major role towards marriage?

The right time for marriage is different for each person and unique to each situation. Join Bks1radio.com, The Movement Magazine, and the ladies of Only Women Wear High Heels as we discuss this complex question, "Is there ever a right time to get married "?

Special Guest: East Orange Mayoral Candidate Kevin Taylor

Kevin Taylor is focused and unrelenting in his commitment to build a better East Orange. Born, May 14, 1959 at Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, NJ, Kevins family made their way to East Orange when he was just six years old. Kevin began his education at Columbian Elementary and Rutledge Elementary Schools in East Orange, NJ.

He graduated from Clifford J. Scott High School in 1978 with All-American, All-state and New York Daily News All Stars honors in football. His talents and leadership on the field awarded him a football scholarship to the University of Maryland, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and the privilege to play in the prestigious Aloha Bowl Championship in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1983.

While in college, Kevin met and fell in love with his beautiful wife, Sandy Taylor, Esq. After college, the two moved back to East Orange, NJ where they currently reside with their two children Kelsey, 18 and Kevin Jr., 15. In 1984, Kevin established Ketco Construction which won the contract and constructed the well known Brick Church Mall in East Orange, NJ. Thereafter, Ketco Construction acquired multiple contracts with prominent businesses and corporations including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Kevin worked methodically to grow his business into a thriving and progressive entity that which his family and community could be proud. He matured into a consummate entrepreneur who now desired to use his wealth of knowledge in managing a successful enterprise along with his astute business practices to change his community.

In 1992, Kevin founded the East Orange Falcon Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading Program. He used the discipline of sports to help foster foundational character building attributes, i.e., morals, ambition and perseverance into East Oranges most precious resource, its youth. For fourteen years, the Pop Warner league serviced over 4000 youth and annually organized a staff of more than 35 volunteers. Based upon the success of the program, and the favorable feedback from the youth and their parents, Kevin launched the Falcon Mentoring and Tutoring Program. This program allowed for dozens of East Orange students to receive much needed academic assistance from some of Seton Hall University’s brightest students. Subsequently, he forged a partnership with the Dionne Warwick School in East Orange, NJ to establish a one-on-one mentoring program throughout the East Orange school district.

After years of contribution and service to the East Orange youth, Kevin was elected 5th ward district leader and subsequently turned his attention to the community-at-large. As a natural progression, Kevin formed the Kevin Taylor Civic Association, an organization that sponsors various initiatives throughout East Orange for the purpose of assisting churches, seniors, families and addressing critical community issues.

Kevin also serves as a board member of the East Orange Education Foundation and as an involved member of the East Orange Chamber of Commerce. As President of Blackstone Acquisition LLC, a property acquisition firm, Kevin currently manages over 150 properties throughout the United States, totaling over 8 million square feet, within major urban and suburban real estate markets. He is also Chief Executive Officer of PI Resources LLC, a marketing and advertising firm - See more at: http://www.eastorangeforkevintaylor.com/bio.html#sthash.JSgoKOm5.dpuf

Special Guests: MC's Zunni and Vincci

ZUNNI

With contractions coming back to back, Zunni has been kicking and waiting to be birthed.  This long overdue Jersey creation has proven himself ready for his introduction to the world of Hip Hop.  Do not be fooled by his baby face looks. His boyish charm will NOT be reflected in his lyrics, in fact, Zunni is quite mature in the area of delivery.  Though he came on the Hip Hop scene prematurely, Zunni’s lyrical formula will definitely do as nourishment for this Golden Child of Hip Hop. His natural ability is unquestionably what Hip Hop has been craving.

VINCCI

Clean music with a Hip Hop and Pop feel, is the best way to describe VINCCI’s sound. Hailing from Newark New Jersey, this upcoming artist has a sound that will take the listener back to the basics of what “feel good” music should sound like. VINCCI has been described as one who is driven by his own creativity and not the gimics of others.

Known for his smooth flow, this Jersey groomed M.C. has decided to position himself in the lane of opportunity. Stand back, because once the light changes there is no telling where his CREATIVITY will land him. At this stage, VINCCI has opted to put “typical” music on the back burner and focus on a “timeless” sound. Follow him on Twitter @IamVincci to see where his road leads.
