This couple I am rooting for, they are young gifted and black but they could possibly be like Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis this is what love looks like in Hollywood for real. I can hear the connection when they talk about one another. I don’t want this to fail, the black community needs a power couple to make it, that is built on love and compatibility. You can not judge a young woman by who she has a dating life with, that is real and she dated some other famous men. Like the Nancy Wilson song, I’ve Never Been to Me ” I was exploring the subtle “whoring” men and women need to grow up, women should be allowed to explore their sexuality just like men.

I’ve Never Been To Me

Hey lady, you, lady, cursin’ at your life
You’re a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife
I’ve no doubt you dream about the things you’ll never do
But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you

Ooh I’ve been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I’ve been to paradise, but I’ve never been to me

Please lady, please, lady, don’t just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you why I’m all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won’t you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies

Oh I’ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed ’em what I’ve got
I’ve been undressed by kings and I’ve seen some things
That a woman ain’t s’posed to see
I’ve been to paradise, but I’ve never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is? It’s a lie. A fantasy we create about
People and places as we’d like them to be. But you know what truth is?
It’s that little baby you’re holding, and it’s that man you fought with
This morning, the same one you’re going to make love with tonight.
That’s truth, that’s love

Sometimes I’ve been to cryin’ for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I’d be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I’ve been to paradise, but I’ve never been to me

I’ve been to paradise, never been to me
(I’ve been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I’ve been to paradise, never been to me
(I’ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I’ve been to paradise, never been to me
(I’ve been to cryin’ for unborn children)

Michael B. Jordan has a sweet message for his girlfriend, Lori Harvey, on her birthday! The actor shared a video on Instagram to celebrate the SKN by LH founder on Thursday, where the two enjoy a beachside football victory!

In honor of Lori Harvey’s 25th birthday on Jan. 13, Michael B. Jordan continues to show out for his “turtle.” On Monday, Harvey shared highlights from a surprise birthday dinner at Nobu Malibu that the Black Panther actor seemingly organized for her.

In the photos and clips shared on her Instagram account, the birthday girl walked into a balloon and flower arrangement-filled room full of her friends and family wearing a form-fitting black and blush patterned catsuit.

In one of the posts Harvey shared on her Instagram Stories, the model wrote to Jordan, “Thank you for my party @michalbjordan,” according to PEOPLE.

While the post implied Jordan was the one who put together the special evening, it doesn’t seem like the actor actually attended Harvey’s 25th birthday bash. Harvey made it a point to shout out everyone who helped the night come together and who attended the festive evening because it’s hard to surprise her with anything since she’s “nosey.”

“I’m so grateful for my family and friends,” the SKN by LH founder captioned photos from the event on Jan. 11, “It’s extremely hard to surprise me because I’m nosey lol but they managed to throw me the cutest surprise early birthday party!! It was so perfect and I’m so thankful to each and every one of you that showed up and made it happen and made me feel so special.

In a photo with attendees Ryan Destiny and Normani previously shared on the model’s Instagram Stories, Harvey simply captioned it, “Sisters” with a white heart emoji. As seen in the clip below, the three posed for snaps at a designated photo-op area at the dinner.

Lori Harvey celebrated her 25th birthday with Michael B. Jordan when she took a nap on his chest while on vacation.

Lori Harvey rang in her 25th birthday in the best way possible on January 13 when she was on vacation with her beau, Michael B. Jordan, 34. She posted an adorable photo of her taking a nap on Michael’s chest. In the photo, Lori rocked a purple snakeskin bikini while Michael covered his face with a towel.

To celebrate her birthday, Lori, Michael, and their friends played some football on the beach and Michael posted an adorable video of the game to his Instagram. He posted the video with the caption, “Happy B-Day to my turtle. My favorite Patna in crime.” In the video, Michael and Lori won and they celebrated by hugging each other and at one point, Lori jumped into Michael’s arms as he spun her around.

So when he posted the photo of Lori adorably napping on his chest, Michael captioned the photo, “All that winning got you tired!!” Michael and Lori are seriously adorable together and they just celebrated their one-year anniversary together in November.

In this drop of #ASip, Michael B. Jordan and Issa discuss overcoming imposter syndrome and getting adjusted to fame. MBJ is most known for his film roles as shooting victim Oscar Grant in the drama Fruitvale Station, and Erik Killmonger in Black Panther, is also a producer, director and philanthropist.
