42 days ago I entered my Jackie Robinson year. This year I actually looked forward to my new year and what’s to come. Also, I was able to celebrate my birthday with family. That hasn’t happened in a few years because we live so far away from one another. I woke up excited with anticipation […]
It’s been a arduous journey to let go of what went down, how it went down and why it went down. I’ve had to shake it off. Shake off what? The stink, residue and attachment of my previous job. “Maybe I was still trying to move through a system designed for an earlier stage of […]

There were a few people who could sing such as Melvin Crispell III, Bishop William Murphy, Bishop Jason Nelson and Jonathan McReynolds to name […]
I’m sure y’all heard the abrupt, chaotic ending to the tour in Chicago. It was startling but things happen. Despite the ending, I enjoyed the concert. I saw an up and coming singer, a singer I only heard about, and 3 I grew up with. And I had a great seat. So overall, The Boy […]
