Black Panther Pride!
The first time I saw Black Panther, my eyes stretched wide like paper plates and my heart pounded within my chest to the intricate African beats in the movie. I thought to myself, “What took so long?” I have been craving to see such black beauty on the silver screen my entire life. To see black images portrayed as powerful figures: kings and queens, technologically advanced maintainers of a

What I believe about God, religion, etc.
Some ask what I believe when it comes to religion. This is what I believe. I am a follower of the teachings of Yeshua a.k.a. Jesus Christ (not that white dude with blue eyes and a mullet). I am not a traditional Christian. I do not believe infinite God can be trapped within a book; although I believe with my whole heart that The Bible is an inspired collection of writings. I do not believe that

A Swan Song for 2016
This year was hard for everyone. Even for the rich and famous. Hollywood stars and famous musicians took a major hit with so many deaths. We lost my all-time favorite Prince. I could have lain down and died myself when I got that news! We also lost David Bowie, Bill Nunn, George Michael, Maurice White, Vanity, Phife Dawg, Gene Wilder, Tommy Ford, Leonard Cohen, Gwen Ifill, Ron Glass, Alan

You may have low self-esteem if...
Low self-esteem is a crippling condition that many men and women suffer from. They feel that they are not worthy of being respected, loved, or appreciated. Somewhere in their lives, they were told that they were not good enough, attractive enough, smart enough, wealthy enough, or talented enough. Unfortunately, many who suffer from low self-esteem do not realize that they are suffering

TV and Me!
There is so much going on in the world. Politics are nerve wrecking. Social issues are getting more and more
evident (which is a great thing). Money
is hard to come by. Relationships are
always hard. Despite all of these
things, I have found the best way to wind down. TV!
Is it me or is TV so much better than movies now? TV writing has gotten so good over the past
decade. I turn

Questions for America

Our world seems to be crumbling around us. Murder! Murder! Murder everywhere! Reading
the news is worse than horror fiction.
It’s over half a century since the Civil Rights Movement and people are
still hung up on how much melanin a person possesses. Science has proven that all humans are the
same and that the notion of race is fiction, so what’s the problem America?!? Why

Goodnight Sweet Prince
Seven days ago the greatest
musical artist who has ever walked this earth, at least in my eyes, left this
world. Prince Rogers Nelson baffled the
world with his sudden passing on April 21, 2016. It was a bittersweet day for me because his
death date is my youngest daughter’s birthday.
That was the only thing that brought me joy on such a dark and gloomy
day. My mind could not wrap

Get In Formation

Queen Bey has officially made me proud. I was ecstatic to hear Beyoncé’s new cultural
pride song Formation. After all, it is the duty of artist and poets
to reflect the times in which they are living.
America is busting at the seams with racial tension, outrage against
police brutality, the poisoning of the poor in Flint, Michigan, and the angst
after careless
