Lonzo Williams rang to discuss a little "Steppin' For A Dream" business, so I took the opportunity to ask a few questions about the King's Dream Weekend. I heard rumblings that Lonzo might have been considering throwing in the towel on his version of the King Holiday Steppers Weekend. Nothing could have been further from the truth. In true Lonzo fashion, he addressed every question that I asked, and he didn't bite his tongue. As Lonzo would put it ... "I'm much like my brother's in the Chi, if it's on my mind, it's probably going to come out of my mouth."

C. J. Lee is the winner with the answer: Sherri Shepherd (The View). C.J. Wins 1 ChiStepper CD, a ChiStepper Car Freshener, and a copy of the June Issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine.

Sherri replaced Star Jones on the popular morning show "The View" alongside Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. For those of you who have watched Sherri on the view, she's exactly the same in person. Very witty and very kind. Sherri reminds you of one of those folks who made it big, but stayed REAL.

Two years ago I sat in my basement and chatted with Charnice about Steppin'. I was seconds away from getting her to do an interview for ChiStepper.com and at the very last minute she changed her mind. The Charnice I met then would not teach more than 1 or 2 students at a time, and she gauged her decision on everything from how they carried themselves, to whether they were open to learning her style of teaching. In short, Charnice was not big on teaching ... especially on a mass scale. Fast forward two years and Ms.

This weekend was one of the most anticipated early summer events for the city of Detroit. For once, our city had something else to talk about other than our political personnel and our financial woes. The White Party was the RIGHT party to be at June 5 - 8. It was a four day event that satisfied the “step buds” for every stepper around the nation.
