I remember when I was young being asked, if you had a magic book that would either tell you who you would marry or when/how you would die, would you want to know? Would it be worth it if you missed that person or know you had to patiently wait? Which would you choose? IfContinueContinue reading “If I Knew Then… Pt. 3 (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 andContinueContinue reading “Comics for my Daughter”
Why We Struggle
I was down today. After overcoming so many barriers, I was still down on myself. I was down and doubting myself so hard, that God had to tell me himself, it’s okay. I will never shy away from my faith. My relationship with God has saved my life multiple times but this was different. WhileContinueContinue reading “Why We Struggle”
Moana, family, and leaving home
I saw Disney’s Moana today and cried. If you have not seen it yet, I recommend a good Google search, dollar theater, or getting it the moment it comes to a Red Box near you. It was everything I possibly could have hoped for from a modern Disney movie and more. It had a moreContinueContinue reading “Moana, family, and leaving home”
Pride, Alcohol, and a Broken Man
I wanted to take a break for inspiration and super deep thinking to share a personal experience and feelings about it. This year I will be 30 years old. I’ve fallen in love no less than four times. I’ve been homeless, jobless, and purposeless during various times throughout. I’ve felt that I’ve failed many timesContinueContinue reading “Pride, Alcohol, and a Broken Man”
Time Lost
In the midst of the political turmoil, 24-hour news cycles, social media rants, and 60-hour work weeks, it’s extremely difficult finding time to focus on anything except what you have to do next. We always have something to do. We spend countless hours working, making money, and  inevitably living for someone else. Recently, I’veContinueContinue reading “Time Lost”
Angles
This post today was created with inspiration from “Angles” by Mick Jenkins ft. Noname & Xavier Omar. Side note: I completely thought the title was Angels until I started to write this post. [lol] It’s all about angles. How we look at the world and what perspective we see from. It’s amazing because I recently realizedContinueContinue reading “Angles”
The Reason for Brotherhood (or Sisterhood)
For years I never had male friends. I went through my adolescence with only one male friend and everything else revolved around my girlfriend at the time. I didn’t know the importance of a brother, someone who you connect with for no other reason but for their existence. As the eldest child of both ofContinueContinue reading “The Reason for Brotherhood (or Sisterhood)”
Theme of 2017: The Listener
Each year, instead of resolutions, I have started to have overarching themes for myself. These are concepts that I want to develop throughout the year to become a better me. The past year was dedicated to faith and trusting God. My theme for 2017 is to listen. There are thousands of books written about speaking,ContinueContinue reading “Theme of 2017: The Listener”
Uber Rides & Holiday Thoughts
Last night, I took an Uber to a Game Night. I am a weirdly social person sometimes. I often test my social skills by getting my Ubers to have conversations. I’ve learned all types of things about life on the bus, in a taxi, or Ubering with strangers. I hit the jackpot with my UberContinueContinue reading “Uber Rides & Holiday Thoughts”
