10 Things Men & Women in Their 30s and 40s Need to Do — and STOP Doing — If They Want Real Love 💕
Daughters vs. Sons: What We Teach Differently (and What Must Stay the Same)
We spend a lot of time talking about how to raise daughters to find “good men.” But what about raising sons to be good men?
Rivers Remember What We Try to Forget
There’s something about water. It flows… whether we acknowledge it or not. It carries stories… whether we tell them or not.
Rivers were livelihood in early America. They were used to move goods and people, as well as escape routes to freedom.
When the Mask Falls
There’s something I’ve learned—through research, and more importantly, through lived experience: Narcissism doesn’t show up loud in the beginning. It shows up charming. Attentive. Almost… too good!
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—And why I’m using it anyway…
There’s a lot of noise about AI right now. Some people are afraid of it. Some people are abusing it. And some of us?We’re learning how to use it—intentionally.
Chat…Be Honest With Me👌🏽
Hey Chat, My daughter suggested I try this. Her results were “spot-on.”
I would like for you to give it to me straight — “roast me” based on what you know of your girl, Tena.
The Sh*t I Ask AI?
Let me tell you something…Nick Cannon’s ignorance prompted this question. We have an obligation to tell the truth about history—so I wanted to make sure I was correct as well. Here’s what research says…
Marriage: Man-made or GOD sent!
After two divorces, I’ve started asking deeper questions about marriage in America—where it came from and what it was originally meant to be. The more I study it, the more I see that marriage is a blend of biblical tradition, cultural expectations, and a legal contract created by the state. And honestly, I’m beginning to wonder if the institution itself sometimes puts more pressure on relationships than love ever intended.
Sweetbreads & Sweet Bread
On paper, sweetbreads (organ meat) and sweet bread (cake loaf) could not be more different.
In culinary language, sweetbreads (plural) are not bread at all. They are organs — most traditionally the organs of certain young and appropriately aged animals. But in the broader Southern experience, when we talk about organ meat
Peace Walked Across America — And We Couldn’t Look Away
When they arrived in my home state of Virginia, thousands gathered. My sister was there. Said she stood in awe. No words. No photos. Just her salty tears on a cold cheek.
CompartMENTALizing: Is it a “good” mental habit to have?
Get the book! Part three of my memoir is all about my experiences at the most secretive agency in the federal government — the national security agency (NSA). At times I felt like a fly in a bowl of milk and other times I felt like the leader of the fucking pack!
When 4646 Screamed at Me
It’s been weeks since I’ve really worked out. Not a real walk. Not a stretch. Not a sweat. If I’m honest, closer to three weeks. And spiritually? I drifted. Feeling impatient, I stopped my daily prayer mantras. I stopped committing to journaling. I stepped away from the very practices I preach and that keep me centered and clear. I felt it. But I ignored it. Until 4646 showed up.

I Was Raised on Hip-Hop: 1979 to Right Now!
I love how hip-hop has grown — but what I love most is this… No matter the era… hip-hop always finds a way to tell the truth. And somehow, every stage of my life has a beat attached to it.
From “Rapper’s Delight” to right now…grooving to 21Savage and ASAP Rocky new albums. I didn’t just grow up with hip-hop. I was raised on it.
Book Review — “Dancing with the Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip-Hop” by Mark Curry
Mark Curry’s Dancing with the Devil is a deeply researched, revealing, and emotionally complex account of one of hip-hop’s most powerful empires—and the human cost behind it. What makes this book stand out is not just what Curry exposes, but how carefully and methodically he connects the dots, filling in the gaps left by documentaries and surface-level reporting.
Members Only: Palm Beach (Netflix)
Members Only: Palm Beach is entertaining. It’s binge-worthy. It’s messy. But it’s also a quiet study in race, class, access, and American contradiction. Watching it as a Black woman who lives right there—who sees both sides of the bridge every single day—made it more than reality TV.
Ten (10) Ways to HEAL ABANDONMENT ISSUES
Healing abandonment starts with honesty—and kindness toward yourself. It’s not about blaming others or rushing to “get over it.” It’s about understanding what happened, how it shaped you, and how you can begin to feel safe again in your own body and relationships.
The Untold Story of Black Plantation Workers in Hawaiʻi
What’s rarely known is that African Americans also lived and worked in Hawaiʻi’s plantation system, many recruited directly from the U.S. South — including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Some of the places where they lived became known informally as “Alabama camps” since the majority of them, were from Alabama.
