As a publisher I take pride in finding good, committed, genuine writers. During COVID, I battled sickness, domestic violence, homelessness and despair but still attempted to practice reciprocity and keep the business afloat. I separated the gritty work of the company from the inspirational stuff. I created training programs because there is no poin...

I Have A Dream Too . . .

It was January 20th, 1986, 18 years after his death and the dream was still being deferred. It was during a time when the only songs MTV would play in Black culture were Michael Jackson and we stayed disillusioned in the lyrics of Billie Jean, being proud, “the kid is not my son”. It was when the crack epidemic wa...

“Death of a Salesman”Reciprocity 103

60C9DF46-B0F4-427F-B6C3-89FEAE27EB37
Entrepreneurship is one hell of a game. You take your looses but one reject, one broken promise, one disregard can’t close down shop or you ain’t no entrepreneur. One disgruntled client don’t cause you not to open tomorrow. The only way to stop a real “E”’s grind is death. Death stops that operation in its tracks and none of us are i...

Lauryn Hill killin’ it in her cult classic “X-Factor”, gave new meaning to the word “Reciprocity”, for me.  “Tell me, who I have to be? To get some reciprocity. See no one loves you more than me and no one ever will”. Wow!!!!! That changed the game in my relationships, my jobs, my faith, my mind and this jour...

B25D4720-4D47-4CC3-A103-F155AE732E0F
One of the greatest cover ups in American History happened 100 years ago today in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a Black Woman, thoughts of my people’s progression have often crossed my mind. Yet they have been saturated by the stories of the sharecroppers living like indentured servents long after the Emmancipation Proclamation, blinding me to...

As I watched a bunch of fake, hateful Republicans reject a commission to investigate what occurred during the January 6 Riots, this morning I couldn’t stomach as Fox News and conservative tweeters came down on Madame Vice President Kamala Harris for tweeting, "Enjoy the long weekend”.

FEFE0D08-4140-4956-86A0-57C54968445C
One of my passions without a doubt is literacy, writing and books. Most don’t know that reading has the power to break down the complexities of our ever changing society. It can serve as one of the greatest injections of empathy and compassion. It promotes articulation and analytical thinking while fostering a remembrance of hop...
