I'm incredibly excited about my collaboration with Adrienne Lillette Harris! Here's a little background on how this collaboration came about. I first met Adrienne in early 2023 when a mutual friend, Gary Johnson of BlackMenInAmerica.com, invited me to the stage musical, "Born to Swing," at The Bowie Center for Performing Arts. This musical celebrated the life of the legendary concert pianist and vocalist, Lillette Harris. Before that night, I had never heard of Lillette Harris, but I was familiar with Adrienne's father, Bud Harrison, who was known as an actor and comedian. I had seen him in the movie "Moon Over Harlem," where he played the iconic role of Dollar Bill. He was also a star on stage and television.

To keep it short, Gary introduced me to Adrienne as someone who could help her write her memoir, and from there, history was made. We not only became great friends but also had a fantastic time writing her story. Our next project is to work on the story of her parents, and I can't wait to dive into that one!

Get ready for an unforgettable evening with Jessica Tilles and Adrienne Lillette Harris! Presenting "Let the Music Play"—a spectacular event featuring the incomparable Jourdan Carroll as Barry White, the Maestro of Love, alongside the enchanting Ladies of Love Unlimited Experience. But that's not all – we're also launching the captivating memoir Native New Yorker: Telling My Truth—I Did It My Way by Adrienne Lillette Harris, in collaboration with Jessica Tilles. 

This is a one-of-a-kind experience that you absolutely can't afford to miss!

This event will support the Lillette's Foundation for the Arts, Inc., in honor of Adrienne's mom, Lillette Harris!

Though not a full-length novel, Loving You is the most powerful story I’ve penned. It is the story of Grace and Julian Winters. Grace is terminally ill and Julian is battling with losing the love of his life. It is a story of an unconditional love that shows how one can go beyond living for the moment to enable a deeper value of an innate love beyond the surface. This is something we all deal with, losing those we love.

When I wrote this story, I cried, laughed, and cried some more. I cried so much; I simply could not push it into a full-length novel. Doing so would’ve meant adding a ton of fluff to an already powerful story, and I just didn’t want to do it.

Both Julian and Grace have special qualities that shine in the book. Julian is sappy and overly sensitive, which can be an unusual trait for a man. Grace is strong-willed, which is not unusual for a woman, but she also understands that Julian’s character does not allow him to accept the inevitable, as she has already done.
