Today, October 11, is the International Day of the Girl. Since 2011, this day has been observed as a day to empower, speak to, advocate for, and uplift girls and women.

Who would’ve ever thought I would write a post about a bike & link it to Black male educators? No correlation, right? Well, you’ll see..

Recently, I’ve been going through a few some music, tracks, videos and more, which have inspired me to revisit a few projects that I hope to finally move on this year. However, in the meantime, today I was listening to a song on which I was fortunate to lend my voice while working with my […]

Words written in continuing to create and possess a vision of much more to come… Are there times when you simply know that there is more.. More that you are meant to do, meant to set in motion, meant to be? Do not allow uncertainty, discouragement, insecurity or simply not seeing what’s to come to […]
I had to share this…about one person I love and admire so much. My cousin Paige aka “Queen Tut” is an awesome dance, remarkable person & true fighter.
