Once upon a fabulous time, Abiola Abrams was raised Guyanese royalty in a gorgeous suburban ghetto of New York City. She then spent her childhood being teased mercilessly for being foreign and geeky by people who now wanna be her facebook friends.

Abiola quickly saw the goddess game for what it was and declared at age 15 that she was going to make movies like Spike Lee, run her mouth like Oprah Winfrey, write books like Jane Austen and say/be/do whatever she wanted just like Madonna.

After snagging an undergrad degree from Sarah Lawrence College and a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Vermont College of Fine Arts, Abiola followed her yellow bricked road rocking out as a full sized action figure on some days, wayward goddess superhero on other days. Her mission is to use pop culture to empower and entertain. She is now an entertainment journalist: a writer, filmmaker and TV personality living in solo sin in Harlem with her beloved kitty Anabelle.

These are her chronicles. Dare is her first novel, and her films  range from Knives in My Throat about  mental illness and Afrodite Superstar about sexuality. She has hosted shows for BET, HBO and NBC and is now also a host-producer of The Planet Abiola Show on blackplanet, the largest African American  site on the web. Her blog The Goddess Factory is  her online playbook where she is the curator of the  goddess lifestyle  of fun, inspiration and her own special brand of  scandalosity.
