Living Life Beyond the Lesson

It is just over a month since the passing of Kobe Bryant and I wonder now that the world has had time to process the shock of such a tragic event, what has and will be the sustaining impact. To see the tears, emotions and humanity of men, in particular men who are known for […]

The Vulnerability of Black Men

“Diversity” & “Inclusion” More Than Buzz Words in Athlete Representation

Over the last 12 years of racing triathlons, I’ve often spoken on my own experience of observing the transformation of individuals that participate in the sport now versus when I first started. Around 2007, it appeared there were very few individuals that looked like me that participated in triathlons. Though I was inspired by my […]

Beloved Black Men..You Will Know!

I often talk to my Black brothers, and no matter if single, married, divorced, young, or old, I’ve listened to them express feeling undervalued, ignored, hated, unsupported, and attacked. The way society and media in general often depict, negate, ignore & minimize them & their greatness has been something I often speak of and have […]

From #MeTOO to Empowering YOU..The Next Generation

Being in a position to empower young women, as well as men is a blessing and honor. I find myself at times reflecting on the sense of responsibility I feel to pour into those who have come after me in a way our ancestors and previous generations have into me. Recently a young woman confided […]

The Power, Beauty & Love of Black Sisterhood

Last week, along my Facebook feed was a link to a media outlet discussing the recent end of what had been termed a 17 year “feud” between Jada Pinkett-Smith and Gabrielle Union. It’s always interesting how the media & people can spin things to diminish the relationships between Black women. In this clip (at 3:01) […]

Yes Dear?!!

This morning I woke to a post that my big brother from another mother put on Facebook that intrigued me. My reaction to the picture below was immediate, but to also see the reaction of others even more perplexed me. Now maybe I’m naive seeing as I’ve never been married, but the idea of 1) […]

Will YOU Accept the “Create Our Village” Pledge?

With all the outcry for the violence that we are seeing in the world, our communities  (particularly low income communities & those predominantly people of color), we all can choose to play a role in transforming our current state. I’ve written various posts to uplift and encourage us all to take action no matter our […]
