“Taking It To The Streets” Half Marathon/5K

Ten days till event day! Being a first time race director has definitely been a fun road that is getting more interesting by the day. The fact that I’m even taking time to write this blog post is funny, however, anyone who knows me knows that I’m a masterful multi-tasker. To juggle multiple responsibilities for […]

End Of 2016 Triathlon Season Reflection

This year has been an amazing one for both my indoor & outdoor triathlon seasons. Getting faster, acquiring sponsorships, moving up to Olympic distance & in placement towards the top my age group of triathletes (and hope to see overall as well), has been great accomplishments for me this year. After today’s 2016 finale, I […]

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 […]

Book Review/Commentary:Blue Note Preaching In a Post-Soul World – Otis Moss III

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a book or music review, so I wanted to share my thoughts on a book I just finished and thought was a remarkable read. Now don’t let the title prompt you to think that this book is only for those that either like music, particularly blues or soul, […]

For Jonylah…Thank you Lupe & Derrick

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 […]

“I’m Tired” – Hadiya ..Now, Are YOU?

Her last tweet…”I’m tired.” Yes, I’m tired too, baby girl. Tired of the senseless shooting of innocent children. Tired of hearing yet another gun claimed the life of another brother or sister. And I’m long past the point of taking this anymore. For those that have not yet heard about the shooting & killing of […]

What’s Next? After the #VOTE

Election day…Ok, I get a lil emotional at times when I think about our elders and the things that they went through for us to have the opportunities we do.  I feel honored that they dealt with so much not just for themselves because they wanted us to have better.  I feel a strong sense […]
