Not Your Happiness
We can choose to stay mired in the dust of yesterday’s words, understandings and cling to a past where what we thought it correct, for black men and women having to adhere to Jim Crow laws. Like people using the word crippled, and not seeing the person. We can choose to see our ideas of […]

Millennials. The very word is polarizing. A label to those who live, a cultural fixture for many like a lifeless piñata to swing upon. They are the lifeless thing to whoop up on, upon which memes and jokes fly from in a tree placed amongst the garden of the boomers and Gen X’ers to say […]
