Pull Up Poet Live Event Scheduled for January 27 at FSU

During MLK weekend I hosted a community event with The Mo You Know to celebrate local heroes here in Cumberland County. During the program a dynamic young man stood up to perform his original poetry. His artistry captured the attention of the entire room and we were also in awe to learn of his work in the community.

On Friday I had the pleasure of interviewing Dré Sansbury aka Suave the Poet who is shaking things up with Pull Up Poet, a super-engaging event hosted by Fayetteville State University and the FSU Department of Performing and Fine Arts. Suave is truly walking in his purpose while uplifting and inspiring others. Pull up Poet is made possible with the awesome support of The Arts Council of Fayetteville and Cumberland County. The program is also being filmed for Amazon prime and will feature several national poets.

It all goes down on January 27th at 7 p.m. at Butler Theater, located at 1200 Murchison Rd. Tickets are only $10 for the general public and totally free for FSU students with a valid student ID. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE. And keep scrolling for ticket links and my full interview with Suave.

So, guess what? I recently stumbled upon the recipe for a top-secret Strawberry Cheesecake Mocha at Starbucks. Let me tell you, it was hands down the most mouthwatering thing I've tasted in ages!

Picture this: you walk up to the barista, flash a smile, and casually order a Vanilla Bean Frappe. But here comes the secret twist - you ask for a splash of white mocha and a generous dollop of strawberry goodness. Trust me, it's a game-changer! Oh, and if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and upgrade to a venti size. I wish I had, because ever since I discovered this hidden gem, I've been completely obsessed.

Now, if you're a true Starbucks aficionado like me, you've probably heard whispers about the infamous Starbucks Secret Menu. It's like a clandestine club for coffee enthusiasts and baristas worldwide. The best part? It's not something Starbucks officially advertises. Nope, it's all about those insider tips and creative drink combinations that take your Starbucks experience to a whole new level. It's basically a secret society of customizations that make your taste buds dance with joy.

The beauty of the Starbucks Secret Menu lies in its limitless possibilities for customization. You can let your imagination run wild and create your very own signature drink. Need some inspiration to get started? Well, let me share a few mouthwatering options that will leave you craving for more. Trust me, once you try these, there's no turning back!

So, how can you get your hands on these drinks and more from the Starbucks Secret Menu? Well, first things first, you gotta know the base drink for your desired creation. Then, it's all about those specific customizations, like swapping out milk or adding extra syrups. Now, let's be real, not all baristas may be in on the secret, so it's always good to have the recipe ready just in case. You know what they say, be prepared!

Oh, and hey, don't forget that not every barista may be familiar with these fancy names, so it's best to know the specific customizations when you're ordering from the secret menu. But now that you're in on the secret, go ahead and explore these unique Starbucks concoctions and find your new favorite drink! Cheers!

Like its mythical namesake, the Unicorn Frappuccino blended crème comes with a bit of magic, starting as a purple beverage with swirls of blue and a first taste that is sweet and fruity. But give it a stir and its color changes to pink, and the flavor evolves to tangy and tart. The more swirl, the more the beverage’s color and flavors transform.
