Pillow Talk w/ 3LWTV "Justus" The Cast

my3lwtv@yahoo.com (Lonnell Williams) — Fri, 10 May 2013 06:22:00 PDT

All New episode of "Pillow Talk" now available! Meet the cast of "Justus" the web series based on the explosive novel by J. Omarr.

When J. Omarr sent me his debut novel I was immediately hooked. Never before had I experienced a story of drugs, violence, (great) sex, relationships set in an African American SGL setting. I was equally thrilled to learn that they planned to bring the book to life. I climbed in bed with four cast members, including creator J. Omarr for a fun discussion about the series, sex, relationships, coming out and oh so much more!

What Goes On In The Dominican Republic...STAYS...Well Sort Of... LOL

my3lwtv@yahoo.com (Lonnell Williams) — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:13:00 PST

This is such an incredible time in my life's journey. From discovering the root cause of painful patterns in my life, to releasing them and forging ahead on the path of healing...so much has occurred in a relatively short period of time. I am so grateful for it all. Funny how the Universe works...I received a call from my very good friend Marcos Brinson who invited to visit his place in the Dominican Republic. He was not aware that I'd already had other travel plans during this time. He was also unaware that those plans collapsed in what was the catalyst of pain, growth and healing. I smiled when I got the call and accepted the invitation. Baby, I excitedly packed the essentials and readied myself for this island escape! Comfortably seated in First Class, I began the trip in a space of luxurious comfort and never let up! While I'm ashamed to discuss all of my shenanigans, I can tell you this...the Dominican Republic gave me LIFE!!!!!!! Don't judge me, boo! Just know that it was the right thing at the right time. LOLOLOLOL

I can share a few images from the weekend. I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions... I plead the 5th.

Thanks for your love fam! Keep standing in your light!

"Can You Hear What I'm Saying? An Erotic Anthology" The legendary James Earl Hardy is back with an all new book!

my3lwtv@yahoo.com (Lonnell Williams) — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:43:00 PST

Legendary author James Earl Hardy of the iconic B-Boy Blues series, returns with his first short story collection, “Can You Feel What I’m Saying?” An Erotic Anthology.” Fans of the B-Boy Blues series know no one can quite describe a hot love scene from the African American SGL perspective better than Hardy! In this anthology Hardy gives readers more of what they are ready for AND as always much to leave jaws agape. Whether he’s sharing the tale of a 40 year old ‘born again’ virgin’s lust for his 20 year former student or the maintenance man’s house (booty) call, these salacious stories will have your break out in a sweat while praying that no one sees what may appear as your obvious, inappropriate pleasure!

“Can You Feel What I’m Saying?” Um, yes boo, we certainly can! We are so glad you are back!

DBQ Magazine Lists Me Among "The Loud 100 LGBT People of Color"

my3lwtv@yahoo.com (Lonnell Williams) — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 00:40:00 PST

When I started this blog and subsequently, 3LWTV, I did not have the intention of being 'recognized.' Sure, I wanted our community to empower itself, but it clearly wasn't about me, per say. I am humbled and honored that so many in the community have embraced my efforts and overwhelmed when the recognition is public, like my recent inclusion in DBQ Magazine's "The Loud 100 LGBT People of Color" list. I don't strive to make 'lists,' I strive to be excellent. With that effort however, often comes recognition. Truly a blessing.

DBQ Magazine is a quarterly publication which highlights the important issues, movers and shakers and so much more in LGBT communities of color. Much like 3LWTV, the publication is an inspirational and a healing resource for us all. I cannot describe my joy seeing so many of us making moves in the world as our true, authentic selves! This truly makes my heart smile!

I had the opportunity to meet DBQ Mag founder, David Bridgeforth, during my recent visit to NYC. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to sit down with such a powerful force in the new generation of leaders! His focus, talent and work ethic give us all reason to be proud!

I strongly encourage you to support the efforts of DBQ Magazine by subscribing here:
http://dbqmag.com

I hope you enjoy the magazine as much as I do. Again, thank you DBQ Magazine for including me on your list and more importantly, for the incredible work you continue to do!

Keep standing in your light!

David Bridgeforth and Me in NYC 12/15/2012

How Meeting Oprah Changed My Life

my3lwtv@yahoo.com (Lonnell Williams) — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:02:00 PST

photo by Rich Cruse

As the visibility of my friendship with Oprah Winfrey gains momentum, I receive more interview requests from various media outlets. While I clearly understand the fascination with Oprah, I must admit I'm surprised when people want to know more about me. This is truly an honor, and one I do not take lightly. I am continually reminded that the work I began four years ago as a hobby, has really begun to take flight and inspire many. My prayer is that we continue to recognize our greatness and boldly execute our individual and collective contributions to the betterment of humankind. Oprah has used her life and her monumental platform to do that very thing for years. Outside of her wealth and celebrity, the integrity of her being not only speaks volumes, but continues to move the world. She truly walks the walk. We can too! What an honor it is to be, as she call us, a "carrier of the light!"

I hope you enjoy the interview. Thank you Lisa Brown and YS Mag L.I.V.E. for the opportunity! Keep standing in your light!
