    My Heart

    By Joy Lynn Clark 8/23/2024 I’ve always enjoyed coming from the south suburbs into the city. My parents grew up a block away from each other and I always got a chance to see both sets of my grandparents. When I moved in with my dad and stepmother we would either come up by the interstate or we would simply ride straight up Halsted Street.  On Papi’s side we’d head to Saint Helena’s for church on Sunday morning and on Pawpaw’s side we would go to church at Trinity. I always loved to beg my favorite aunt to take me to the Purple Cow for ice cream Sundaes and candy.…

    I only have eyes for . . . B2K

    By Joy Lynn Clark January 8, 2022 Before my Bestie and I decided to look for a place, we went to a free performance that was advertised on the radio. There was a group performing there that I just had to see – B2K. I remember it like yesterday, B and I entered the room and my eyes quickly diverted to the stage where the opening act was performing and dancing. Someone grabs B and asks, “do you vote, are you 18?”. In my mind, “barely but yes”. “Let me introduce you to this old guy politician who is distracting you from the concert.“ I think next. I take the…
