There’s something about getting simultaneously hit by two trucks that makes you stop and think… what the hell am I doing with my life right now? As I sit here with muscle relaxers and ibuprofen in my system and pain running from my head to my toes and back up to my fingertips as…

Have you ever met someone where instantly everything just felt right? You finished each other’s sentences, knew what the other person was thinking, and never had to argue about what to order for dinner? Those connections seem magical and almost too good to be true, right? Yea, that’s not a karmic connection. Typically with karmic…

Lately I’ve been doing something that may or may not result in me going to hell. At least that was what I was taught by relatives growing up, but anywho, eternal damnation aside, I’ve been listening to readings for my horoscope a lot on youtube. I randomly came across it one day and surprisingly in…

Have you ever said or thought about something then all of a sudden it happened? Maybe you said, I miss this person and moments later they were calling you.

While…

  Have you read, The Four Agreements? While my mom would probably cringe if she ever heard me say this, in a way it’s like my bible. I’ve gifted it to uber drivers, strangers, friends and family, hoping it would give them the same clarity it has given me and many of my friends who…

  Colorism: Discrimination based on skin color, also known as colorism or shadeism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination in which people are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to skin color. I won’t pretend that I don’t have some form of light skin privilege. That many black men have not placed me and…

These next two weeks I just want to take a break and hopefully get some writing inspiration. I remember saying to myself and just about anyone who would listen.
