Who do I publish?

2810C141-B3E1-4655-BDF9-711980DA54BC
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...

035E5850-47FE-40A7-98E0-1A7818C0BD69
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”. Titles such as, “Vice President Kamala Harris under fi...

This Black Man Right Here! Take a look, it’s in a book, a Reading Rainbow . . .

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...

Your Failure Was Before COVID

6892B400-1A53-45FF-B155-26B2CC0A6DFE
As a certified educator with over 25 years experience, I struggled with the thought of homeschooling my child. He needed it, falling behind with each new year, fighting the system that had a prison bed ready for him but financially I could not stop working to commit to such a task. With every year that passed, I requested help and guidance. Th...

​My body is truly and distinctively mine, starting with a small upper portion, ushering down to my full and curvy hips. Basically I have a big butt and no breast and it has led to many frustrating moments in the department stores. It was either my top or bottom (especially in dresses) looking a...

Enough Is Enough - Mommy Mega March

ADC19DE4-B94B-42BD-906D-B710B6C131E4
​All I could do is think about my son as we marched the streets of Charlotte on this rainy second day of 2021. I know that sounds selfish but those were my thoughts as we made our way down 3rd Street to the BLM Uptown. We chanted, “Enough is Enough” with the young people. I could not imagine a worst fate than the one&n...

E1B7E5B7-1138-4A91-99D2-F6EBDB044C3E
​There is no better time to talk about change than on January 1st. Change is a force.  “I’m sticking to this diet”, “I won’t take her back into my life”, “I am going to be on time for work every morning”, may be some of the resolutions that you put in the atmosphere during this time of year but there are challenges with change.

 As a conscious woke person I used to allow the ignorance of believing my vote didn't matter per history showing my ancestors dying for something so simple kept me from voting.  As conscious woke intellectual, I saw the game that I wasn't playing, and we in the conscious community always say life "is like a game of che...

I partnered purposely with a powerhouse. She is not ordinary. Her picture would be shown in the dictionary with exceptional. She is the brain behind, Pillow Talk, the owner of Agape Voice and a host on I-Heart Radio. Her name is Katris Wright. She is a boss lady, my mentor and my spiritual guide. She has turned my business completely around an...

We as Black men rarely tell each other we love each other, or show appreciation if isn't mutual. The Watchmen of the Round Table lately have been trend setters of healing, solutions, and re-education through action. We men have created something more than a movement, a program, a service, etc.. we've re- created that bond that was lost between King...
