Bow down?? Noooo!!! Now before you even try to say I’m a Beyonce hater, let me first say that I love her. As a woman, a wife, a mother, a singer, an entertainer, I respect and celebrate her as a person, her successes and many of the things she has accomplished. Here is a person […]
A lot has been happening around me personally around the youth of this city. These last two weeks alone have been trying, from incidents of parental abuse (physical & sexual) of a grade school student I work with, a teen hurting himself because of feelings of being unloved & talking about depression and suicide, a […]
So, lately I’ve been in, heard and observed a few discussions and comments with women and men on their perceptions of the opposite sex, relationships, statuses and the like, which prompted me to write this post. I’m well aware of how others’ attitudes, opinions, and/or actions, in many cases can be belittling, offensive, or make […]

In my 7th grade youth development program, we had a discussion on social media a few weeks ago and I was thinking to post about that topic then. Well, with the backlash about recent events with Instagram, and this recent dispute between Twitter & Instagram, I figure I’d share some thought on all this. We […]
You can say I’m a bit of a documentary buff and about a week or so ago I was watching a great one, “Half Past Autumn: The Life & Work of Gordon Parks”. After thinking about some that I’ve seen this year, I thought I’d post a few of those that were released in approximately […]
I was just thinking the other day about how I missed my hair. No, I haven’t cut it off or anything. It’s just with my triathlon season and recent photo shoots, I’ve been enjoying the pleasure of enhancing (adding) hair so I don’t have to wash and style it all the time. It’s great to […]
Yesterday, our pastor, Dr. Otis Moss III tweeted “Twitter Conversation: Do u think Cornel West’s comments about POTUS are on point or a distraction to a real policy dialogue?” along with a few other questions.
