We're Better Together!

5766A254-934A-4287-A551-8A36DC8DE6D0
Hosted by: The United Neighborhoods of Charlotte (UNNOC). Charlotte Day was a refreshing reminder of the old days when everybody "use" to cruise through Freedom Park without a care in the world. As a Charlotte native, I was "taken back" with nostalgia of those shiny cars, loud motorcycles and bass in the trunks as if nothing had changed. Although I...

Countering that . . . By - Link

1E007D85-0F35-4862-9F34-E65E0BF30FBB
Dearest, I respect your writing skills more than you could know but when it's wasted trying to influence opinion rather than uplift or educate I get offended. The black mind is a shattered glass and while we are picking up the pieces we don't need our leaders being criticized by the very people he's trying to lead. It's not defending Jay Z as much ...

Dear Dearest,

Dear Dearest,  My financial situation is in shambles. I have a 12 year old daughter and I was just laid off from a job in Florence, SC. She is ready to go back to school but other than that every thing is falling apart. I don’t even know how I’m going to buy food. My car was reprocessed and I am about to get evicted from my apar...

Treachery of the “Field”

31EF1AB3-CF81-411A-90D4-C379972035FF
​There was something very eerie about a “slave” oppressor, sitting on the porch, watching Black people pick cotton, as if it was a spectator sport.  “Woman get me some more lemonade!” Overseers serving as referees and as long as you had white skin, you had season tickets to the game. Imageries of lemonade, sweat, ...

My Depression

D44A577B-8672-4227-958B-F75D0BAB93EC
My depression fits me like a glove. It appeases my lazy and strokes my pity. It confirms what I see when I look in the mirror. It excuses me from doing housework. It gives me permission to pop these pills. It makes it ok not to pay these bills. My depression loves the dark and feeds off of make believe. My depression tells me where I can go and all...
