Sharing the inner workings of my personal leadership tenets.

Mississippi and it’s issues are sitting in my chest and weighing heavily on my soul. In this episode, I get it all out and free myself!

This country is ladened with 30 seconds of grief followed by three minutes of trauma. Can we do something different, or unpack our trauma kink?

Happy Black Music Month! Words, beats and lyrics move me. This past week, I went to see The GZA and he did not disappoint. His music, stage presence and ‘Liquid Swords’ was just what I needed on a Monday night.

I struggled so much in February because everyday last month was full of disturbing and dehumanizing anti-black events. Things were so hurtful that I shut down and used work as a buffer to get through the days. I thrive off a sense of completion, so I let work carry me and as a result, I had a productive month in which I made decisions that enhanced growth and communication.  I am proud of my work, but March cannot be this way. I want less acts of anti-blackness, less dehumanization and less cooning! I cannot take it anymore! 

Honoring Bob Marley’s 77th birthday, I talk about the impact his music has on my life and why I believe he is the world’s greatest folk singer.
