DO I LOOK FAMILIAR? Of course I do! Maybe
you know me from being a BET host for two years, or as the face of blackplanet's fun talk-variety show, or you've seen me as a correspondent on BET, HBO, NBC, or perhaps
you just found me co-starring on the VH1 reality show Tough Love produced by Drew Barrymore. You also may have read my writing
and my work as "the goddess passionista" in Paper Magazine, Self Magazine, Essence
Magazine, Cosmopolitan Magazine, RollingOut Urbanstyle Weekly, Esquire, Time Out NY, Upscale Magazine, Uptown Magazine, Nerve,
Good Housekeeping, Today's Black Woman, Carib News, the Amsterdam News, The Village
Voice, Black Enterprise Magazine or The Observer. Currently I am the author of the novel Dare, a daily blogger and host of hit talk-variety show
Planet Abiola for the largest African American community in the webiverse. My writings on the foibles
of love, sex and dating are also in current bestselling anthologies Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex and Behind the Bedroom Door. ----------- THE BIOGRAPHY ABIOLA ABRAMS is a TV personality, filmmaker and author who shows up with her big mouth and hot pink doctor bag of advice and self worth to whip us into shape. Abiola's debut novel Dare (Simon & Schuster) is the wild adventure of two women learning to live by their own gutsy rules. Currently she is a creative producer and host of the Planet Abiola Show for TV One's blackplanet. Host and correspondent Abiola Abrams just finished a run on VH1's Tough Love, and for the past two years 28 million viewers tuned in to watch Abiola on BET: interviewing filmmakers on her show The Best Shorts, as an outspoken, recurring panelist on My Two Cents, and hosting specials such as All Access. As an art filmmaker Abiola Abrams’ short films and docs investigate themes of gender, race and empowerment. Her directing work includes Knives in My Throat about a spoken word poet dealing with bipolar disorder, Ophelia's Opera a short narrative about coping with domestic violence, and Afrodite Superstar, acclaimed feminist erotica. The goal of Abiola's work is to use pop culture entertainment to create uncommon inspiration: culturally, politically, emotionally and sexually. Her advice column runs in the weekly urban tabloid Rolling Out. Abiola has BA from Sarah Lawrence and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is an opinionated tastemaker, cheerleader, hip hop feminist, cultural critic and all around TV big mouth. MORE...
