Earlier today one of my friends shared an Instagram post. The post essentially said men should treat women they’re interested in like a princess. Just a side note: feeling a little shady today. All to say, this post may be a little biased due to the heart pain and disrespect…

New Perspective on the Oscars
Ever since Monday morning, I’ve been flooded with thoughts and opinions specifically regarding Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Initially after seeing the video of what happened, I felt empathy towards Will Smith. As I would like to think I would defend my wife’s honor no matter what….

My Thoughts: Will Smith’s Slap at the Oscars
Many would say a man’s duty in life, especially if he has a wife and family, is to provide and protect. I’ve heard this over and over. Provide and Protect. I didn’t watch the Oscars last night. However, late last night I received a text from my cousin. It was…

I Support You
We all need some type of support. Let me repeat it… every single person on earth needs support. Humans were not designed to make it through life alone.

Mental Health and Therapy
Today I wanted to share my feelings on mental health related illnesses and how therapy is being used as a “cure” for them. More and more people are considering some form of therapy as a way to treat a mental health illness. So what is mental health exactly? Mental health…

Why Are Marriages Among African-Americans Declining?
I recently read an article about how marriages are declining all across the United States. Even with all the wedding pictures shared daily on social media the marriage rate in the U.S. is presently at historic lows. It isn’t just low, it is actually the lowest it has ever been…

Sexuality and Prejudice in America
Some of the biggest controversies in today’s society deal with emotional health and sexual preference. Dave Chappelle recently did a comedy special on Netflix called “The Closer”. I haven’t seen it yet, but everyone is talking about it. Why?? I’m happy you asked. Dave made a few jokes about the…
