Two months go by in which Ahmaud laid dead. He wasn’t a thug but a jogger instead. He was not strapped but oh how I wish he was, cause it ain’t funny when the racist don’t have the gun. United States, you should be ashamed, your hate and making America great is the blame. You hunt Black Men like they are your prey, incarcerate o...

Madness Let’s start at the end. Yes, the end is a good place to start. Sunday 10:03 am There was so much blood and the longer I sat, it thickened and became chunky.  I just couldn’t believe there was so much blood on the bright, white down comforter that made the bed so pretty. It was ...

There hasn’t been much talk about the 2.9 million brothers and sisters incarcerated during this COVID crisis.

You gave the educators and other professionals paid ...

Some of ya’ll are still popping off like we are not in a pandemic. Some of y’all got beef that ain’t even relevant when our immune systems are under the worst attack of our lifetime. Domestic violence has surged because you just can’t take cover and shut up. You can’t let that cheating daddy, that gold diggin’ baby mama, th...

Bringing Madame CJ Walker to the big screen was a dream come true for many of us and Octavia Spencer gave her justice.

I did something in the name of advocacy that looking back may have been a great mistake. I am not above correction. I am not a fan of the police. Although they are there to serve us, I believe many exploit these duties, especially at the expense of Black men. I saw a mug shot of someone I knew being run all over FB by the Darlington Police Departme...
