Category: Entertainment Written by Genea Webb
Hilarious comedian Godfrey drew on his personal experience of growing up with Nigerian parents, living in The Big Apple, and eating at various ethnic restaurants to make Pittsburgh audiences laugh during a recent three-night run at the Improv June 24-27.
The 41-year-old comedian, whose real name is Godfrey C. Danchimah Jr., kept the audience in stitches with his impressions of Denzel Washington, Bill Cosby and President Obama.

I refused to celebrate the 4th of July!
Category: Entertainment Written by Gwendolyn Baines
Dear Gwendolyn:
My great-grandmother is 102 years old, my grandmother is 75, and my mother is 40. This is my problem: My mother is angry with me because I didn’t celebrate the 4th of July at the big gathering at grandma’s house. I tried to tell my mother that the 4th of July is not for Black people. It is not our holiday and I only celebrate Black holidays. Gwendolyn, am I wrong?—Sam

Out & About with Brotha Ash
Category: Entertainment Written by Ashley G. Woodson
This week I visited the Shadow Lounge in East Liberty, Club 21 in the Strip District, The Black Beauty Lounge in the Hill District, CJ’s in the Strip District and the Centre Avenue Outreach Center in the Hill District.
My first stop was the Black Beauty Lounge in the Hill District where karaoke was in full effect. Everyone came out to see if they could be a star for a day. It was a great time for everyone.

Cover To Cover...‘Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go’
Category: Entertainment Written by Terri Schlichenmeyer
With truly mixed feelings, you awaited the day.
On one hand, you couldn’t wait to see your child take his first steps. It was you, after all, who helped him practice by holding his little fingers as he tippy-toed between your knees.
On the other hand, you knew that as soon as he took those first steps, nothing would be safe any more, including him. Not only could he reach for breakable things, but he could also reach for the stars.
