The Melanin Comeback: Why Black Representation Matters

When I was a kid I didn’t see race.. let alone, color. Granted, that could have been due to attending an all black school from Kindergarten to 12th grade.

In a time where we are in a constant state of alert due to the incompetent actions of our “45th President”… we need a little light to remember some of the good that we experienced under the Obama administration. We aren’t looking at the data- lower unemployment rates, higher number of insured citizens, ending of […]

Congratulations America. You played yourself.

We’ve been Trumped. I woke around 3 a.m. this morning to see the results of this year’s presidential election and I must say this is the most startling year I’ve ever experienced.

For the past three years, I have had the privilege to say that I am a member of a great sorority. Unlike many people however, I can’t say that it was something that I “dreamed of” or “fantasized” about since I was young. Then again, that may be because I’m not like most people. Ever […]

Dealing with “pint” people

For as long as I could remember, I’ve always struggled with this idea of doing more for people than I am getting from them. It seems like I’m always giving, giving, and giving all that I have with little to no return. Whether it be from friends, associates, mates, or family, you may deal with […]

Saying what needs to be said

I try to leave my blog as unbiased as possible. Simply because I want this to be a place where races and religions aren’t taken into consideration because we’re all people.
