DEE DEE WALKER
Dee Dee Walker was born in the Bronx, New York. She spent her earlier years growing up in the city, then relocated to Greensboro, North Carolina in her early twenties.
She always had a dream of becoming an Actress, after moving to Greensboro she did commercials and landed a spot on Blog Talk Radio.
Walker is currently doing ”The One and Only Dee Dee Walker Show” on 106TbcRadio.com for the last three years.
She has also done video Shows featuring live guests with her Mom for TV, called “Coffee Time” The Big Chat.
Walker has also published an action adventure-thriller screenplay called ”A Matter of Time” and wrote episodes of “The Carsons”.
She also shares that she has been in Plays and written some scripts along her journey into the exciting world of film. She was cast as the character Portia Love in the recent film ”Butter” which premiered in Greensboro.
“I didn’t know where it was going, I just enjoyed being on the set!” She reminisced.
Walker also mentions the short film “The Repast” in which she starred. “I played a Gold Digger! I played a snooty character named Gretchen who used a couple of people. I just love the character, you’ll be seeing more of her as there is ongoing interest in her.” Her company also filmed and edited the film project.
I asked if she though the recent protests sparked most recently by the murder of George Floyd would lead to police reform, and she like others remain hopeful that needed changes will come sooner than later.
We also discussed the likelihood of Walker creating a series of voice-over spots for my magazine.
Stay tuned!
VANESSA FERGUSON
BY FRED LITTLE
After being viewed and discovered by millions in 2017 on the global television show ”The Voice”
songstress Vanessa Ferguson keeps creating inspirational songs for music followers.
“ I aspire to inspire my fans and my younger fans do the same for me,” said Ferguson from her home in North Carolina.
When a reporter first wrote stories about Ferguson she was performing in front of 75 to 200 patrons,
that was prior to ”The Voice” television show.
Now she has traveled and thrilled crowds in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, and China where her crowds numbered in the thousands.
The Brooklyn born and Greensboro bred Ferguson has opened up for some top acts in music including
Morris Day and The Time, Music Soul Child, Carl Thomas, Mint Condition and the B.B. King All Star Band to name a few.
Vanessa Ferguson’s music is layered and complex ” with you” is smooth slow melody that can be heard on the radio.
In contrast on the edgier side is ” Cries to the Heavens” that deals with police brutality and a mother losing a child.
By the way look for Ferguson in a documentary on world-famous Jazz Singer Nina Simone.
Ferguson charitably performed in Nina Simone’s house in Charlotte that is being renovated.

BLACK LIGHTNING
REVIEWED BY FRED LITTLE
The series Black Lightning’s main character is Cress Williams, 49, a known West Germany born actor who plays Jefferson Pierce a High School principal and loving father who reluctantly gets back into the hero business because his daughter was abducted by a villainous crew called the 100, led by Tobias Whale a six foot albino man
(Marvin Jones lll) who killed Jefferson’s father years prior this makes for hostile dramatic encounters throughout the series.
To see an empowered African American cast is tremendous. A true change of pace from other CW superhero ventures.
This one show explores complex subjects such as racism, curfews, quarantines, ews, detainment facilities, police brutality and lesbian culture.
