Just Your Average Black Woman Going Through Life
Yesterday, May 19th, was the birthday of the late Malcolm X. He would have been 99 years old if he had lived. But, he was assassinated at the young age of 39 in front of his wife and children in February 1965. He was a man who spoke out against racism in America with…
For those of you who are basketball fans, you may have heard the New York Knicks have made it to the semifinals of the eastern conference. In this city, we have gone so long with a Knicks team that have fallen short of this victory. Now with this step, it just shows how determination…
Imagine working at a job where people get along and care about each other. They celebrate major life-changing events for the people or on the other end the sad moments. If you find that within 1 year, there are about 5 people where money is collected of any amount you can afford to give,…

If you’re a fan of horror and want to see one that incorporates social issues, season 2 of Them-The Scare is one to watch. The story is different from the first season but they do slightly tie into each other. In this season, you have Deborah Ayorinde, actress from the first season playing a new…
TGIF (Thank God/Goodness It’s Friday) everyone. I can’t believe it’s the last Friday of April already. The month flew by so fast. But, on this day, I sit back and reflect on the month I labeled as “new beginnings” with Challenge #14. My energy was focused on my personal passions. Each day we go…
