Freedom Day - Reflections of Juneteenth is a personal admission to my lack of education and the consequences of withholding cultural knowledge.

Happier Holidays
The holidays are not for everyone. This year, with the various challenges impacting so many people, not everyone is feeling the joy of the season. It’s a time of year when being mindful of those around us, can create comfort and joy for everyone!
A Loving Story
A Loving Story: Is a fairytale bromance not so old as time, whereby two fairly acquainted star-crossed lovers traveled from lands near to far, and from times of then to now, were finally brought together.
Are You Mad
It's really hard to believe that a new year is again knocking at our doors. Some people are reluctant to open that door and grant that mystery guest access into our lives.

A Fractured Pride
So far 2022 feels like a poorly written science fiction reality show racing toward a season finale with a cliff-hanger that has us scratching our heads and asking what the hell just happened!

What About Me?
Representation is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as, “an artistic likeness or image”. I love television producer Shonda Rhimes. Everything that she pushes to the screens crosses the barriers of race, sexual orientation, and gender.
