First of all, I would like to thank Hassan Jamal for providing me with the following link.
Merilene Murphy was not only a former L.A. Black Book Expo committee member but she was also a talented spoken word artist, publisher and friend. Two years ago, she made her transition to the next life but we at the L.A. Black Book Expo continues to honor our blessed sister and to show you how special she was to all of us, friends, supporters and listeners alike, here is a clip from Hassan of an interview he conducted with her back in 1995. From his YouTube page:
