Happy Friday! I live for the weekend, so I am glad that it is almost here. Today is a good day to celebrate the place of one's birth, so I thought that I would give my hometown, Washington, DC, a little love. Chocolate City has produced many talented individuals. My new Friday list is going to give shine to some of the city's most famous and talented. It should be noted that this list includes a few people who were raised but not born in DC. I bet you will see a few on the list that you didn't even know were from DC.

Let's see. First up we have the beautiful and talented Taraji Henson representing the Sowfside, that's SE for all of you out-of-towners. She recently starred as the lead of Common's video, Testify. As a matter of fact, I read a rumor today that says that she is dating him. Interesting! Cute couple if it's true.
