  • Please Shut UP about the FLOTUS and Beyonce friendship!

    As always, I was reading headlines online. I came across a few articles about individuals being irate that Michelle Obama took her girls to a Beyonce concert recently. I read another article where allegedly in an interview when asked if she could be anyone else in the world, who would…

  • Just something to think about…

    I find the news nothing less than disturbing. It is to the point now that I do not even want to tune in just to obtain the weather and traffic anymore. Yet, I cannot refrain from reading the headlines and clicking to finish the story. No one can tell me…

  • Reflections

    I turned another year older last Thursday and it is around this time every year I ensure that I reflect on what I have learned. The years are going by faster and faster, and I have discovered that the older I become, the more lessons there are too be learned.…

Lately, it is a common trend to read about celebrities, politicians and the like, saying an allegedly offensive comment and…

  • Articulate Beyond Color: Breaking Stereotypes in Speech

    Articulate Beyond Color: Breaking Stereotypes in Speech

    In revisiting this blog post I wrote years ago, I feel compelled to once again address the misconceptions surrounding the way I and many others speak. The idea that one’s eloquence could be attributed to “sounding white” is not only inaccurate but deeply rooted in racial stereotypes that need dismantling.…

  • Why can’t we be “authentic” friends?

    At the beginning of this year, I decided to evaluate my friendships. I picked out all those friends that have remained true to me and decided that I would plan activities on a regular basis and the ones that made the most effort to show up, have a good time…
