I've already written two letters to my daughter and one to black women but today goes to my son (that doesn't exist). With all the extensive pressure to perform and live a certain way to society's standards, I want to reach out to him. I want to give him some lessons I've never gottenĀ about growingContinue reading "Letter to My Son"
The Good News: The Dog Matchmaker
Today's Good NewsĀ fulfills an itch I've had for about five months now. I've fought off the urge to get married and build a family in favor of life stabilization and personal development. The next best thing to a girlfriend is a puppy, "they are always happy to see you!" (I joke, I joke, I kid,Continue reading "The Good News: The Dog Matchmaker"
The “Up”s and Downs of Relationships
A few weeks ago I was watching Up, and I must admit that I was late to the party. The movie itself was charming and went from ordinary to strange very quickly. The entire first ten minutes were cinematic genius and for five of them, not a single word was uttered. I was in aweContinue reading "The “Up”s and Downs of Relationships"
Comics for my Daughter
After two letters to my daughter and one towards black women, I really spent a lot of time thinking about what young women go through in our world. How can I prepare my daughter or at least make her feel as powerful as I believe she can be? Who do girls look up to andContinue reading "Comics for my Daughter"

Like the last few times, this is my personal favorite soul albums of 2016, not necessarily the best. This one is specifically not in order, they all roughlyContinue reading "My Favorite Soul Albums of 2016"
If I Knew Then… Pt. 2 (Growing Up)
Growing up is somewhat blindsiding. You expect things to be one way and then the sheer weight of the world starts to press back harder than you expected. There are so many things that I wish I was taught while growing up instead of learning things the hard way. Last week's postĀ focused finances and thingsContinue reading "If I Knew Then… Pt. 2 (Growing Up)"
Letter to Black Women
I've written a couple of letters now to different people including my possible future daughterĀ but this letter is for all of the amazing women that have raised, protected, and loved me. This one is for you. Dear Black Woman, Thank you. I could not even begin how to thank you for your strength and guidanceContinue reading "Letter to Black Women"
The Good News: Chance the Rapper Donates $1M to CPS
As anyone that has been following me over the recent years has seen me talk about Chance the Rapper and the new positivity he has been bringing to rap withĀ The Social ExperimentĀ andĀ Coloring Book. I can honestly say that my favorite rappers are "Christian Rappers", not just by content, but actions. Chance made an announcement toContinue reading "The Good News: Chance the Rapper Donates $1M to CPS"
Hot Take: Nintendo Switch & The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The internet is filled withĀ hot takes on music, movies, television, and almost everything under the sun.
