It's been a while, but I'm back! So much going on in the world that I had to come on to talk about it and provide a space for all of us to chat about what's going on in this country and the world. Now, being that I'm coming off of a serious head injury, I've invited my friend Terez to come on the show and keep me focused. We'll chat, listen to music and take calls. So don't be shy, call in and let us know your thoughts on Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne (now on TuneIn Radio and ITunes)

I am back in the basement playing some of my favorite gospel music and sharing my thoughts and prayers with you. The upgrade is I'm now bringing a friend along. One of my very inspirational and talented sisters will be co-hosting the show. I am so blessed to have Robin S joining the show. She helps keeps me lifted and is one of the most positive people I know. I'm so pleased to be able to share her with you. So tell a friend!

So much is going on in the world today. Donald Trump has been elected President and the world is about to change.  What are the implications? What will President Obama's legacy be? Let's talk racism. Let's discuss Kim Burrell's rant in the church. Homophobia in the black church. We can't ignore this. Women's right's. With a president who clearly does not respect women, what will this mean in how women are treated and perceived in the years to come? Immigration. Sex Trafficking...So much to discuss, and so little time. Join me, and friend to the show, Model, Actress, Advocate, Reality TV show star Terez and Kenneth B. Morris, CEO of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiative and  direct descendant of both Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington as we discuss as much as we can on Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne

I am celebrating my birthday this weekend and I couldn't be more excited about the whole thing. Getting older, maturing is a wonderful blessing. I really can appreciate the finer things in life. With that being said, I am absolutely thrilled that we will be joined today by one of my favorite artists the Legendary R&B/POP/Dance artist, Lisa Lisa! Yes, Y'all the beautiful young lady who had us popping and locking in the 80's and 90s with her hit songs featuring the Cult Jam and who showed us all she could do it on her own when she had her solo hit, Skip To My Lu, then starred on a television show. This lovely Latina Lady has shown us that dreams come true if you work hard. What a wonderful birthday treat for me...

The country is in an uproar as we prepare for the impact of the change that's about to come. Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States and we are officially a country divided. There are random acts of violence taking place, protests, and other powerful shows of discontent. Today, two of the deepest dopest sisters I know will be discussing the potential outcome of this election and how we might want to mobilize going forward. Terez Thorpe and her lovely and talented wife Monifah Carter-Thorpe.

Also, as a special treat, we have former wide receiver Ron Dixon  of the New York Football Giants calling in to discuss the things he's been up to since retiring from football. So listen in and call in. This show is for you!

Patriotic or not? Whether or not you see yourself as a loyal citizen of this country or not, you are a citizen and you matter, you count, your vote counts. This election is too important to leave to chance and for so many reasons. Our very survival depends upon it. You talk about your rights and their wrongs? Who you like and don't like wont matter if the country falls into the wrong hands. Don't be bamboozled, lead astray, and hoodwinked. Let your vote do the talking. Call in and tell us what you're thinking. One of our very favorite friends of the show Terez joins me as I welcome back the lovely R&B Legend Ms. Linda Clifford and the handsome and brilliant Film Maker/Lawyer/Author Nathan Hale Williams on Brunch in the Basement With JaVonne
