Today, I write this one to him when he gets older. P.S. You can check my letters to myContinueContinue reading “Letter to A Black Son in America”

Struggling with Race, Religion, & Justice
Following the full acquittal of countless officers killing unarmed, innocent, or mentally ill Black people nationwide visibly for the last few years, I tend to go through emotional phases. Sometimes I am angry, dejected, depressed, contemplative, confused, frustrated, and even moved to action. However, since I’ve been getting deeper into my Bible, I’ve struggled withContinueContinue reading “Struggling with Race, Religion, & Justice”
A Moment’s Reprise
I had planned to write about SZA’s CTRL album as I’ve been listening to at, reading the lyrics, and finding interviews all week. However, I find myself with a heavy heart today. The murder of Philando Castile by Officer Jeronimo Yanez reached complete acquittal of all charges today. I’m sick. I promise I will finishContinueContinue reading “A Moment’s Reprise”

Men or Women? Who’s First?
As I’ve been making my way through the Bible, I came across an interesting passage in Corinthians. Especially since so I’ve been growing in understanding patriarchy and how these are things affect our thoughts/interactions, I’ve been wondering what the Bible says about it. Truthfully, I never felt comfortable with the thought of men being betterContinueContinue reading “Men or Women? Who’s First?”

Small Things Change Minds
After last week and reflecting on Male Privilege, I have really started to examine myself in many ways. Which biases do I still need to work on and how do I process these lessons in a more holistic way? My moral has been that you must be uncomfortable to grow, so I must place myself inContinueContinue reading “Small Things Change Minds”
Ultimate Sacrifices & Love (Happy Memorial Day)
As I’ve been reading through the New Testament, I’ve had to reflect on the idea of willingly leaving everything behind to do the Lord’s Will. Whether it is to unknown success or an undertaking of great pain, how dedicated are you to a life like Christ? Humans are selfish beings. We often put our ownContinueContinue reading “Ultimate Sacrifices & Love (Happy Memorial Day)”
Lambs in a Wolf Pack (Worry Not)
I’ve been reading through the Gospels and really meditating on its words. I feel like I am trying to read what God is writing and it is really changing my outlook.
