Children are the Future


Children see the entire world in a different way than adults. The innocence of discovery is something we all enjoyed. I often wonder, had people not interjected certain ideas into my mind at certain times, where would my childlike mind had lead me? So here's to nostalgia, to innocence, and the people that will become our future.


An Apple A Day


Living a healthy life is important, and many people take their concerns with eating right or losing weight to unhealthy extremes. This month, I'll be talking about eating habits, sharing some of my favorite recipes, and focusing on healthy choices.

Legends of Africa


One thing I've noticed during my years attending predominately white schools and having circles of friends that are more diverse, is that the major factor in racism and prejudice is ignorance. There is a lot about black culture that many non-blacks just don't know. Often this lack of awareness rears its head in the form of ignorant assumptions and awkward questions. The Legends of Africa series touches on topics that may be extremely familiar to blacks, but may not be familiar to non-blacks.

Religion & Theology


I've always been interested in Religion & Theology. As I child, I questioned everything. I wanted to know why this denomination was different from that denomination. I wanted to know how Christianity differed from Islam, and how they differed from Buddhism, etc. I found that as I studied with the faith of a believer and the open mind of scientist, the world of religion started to make more sense and I was able to form beliefs that I don't question. April 2015 is dedicated to my journey to those beliefs.

Whispers of War

Whispers of War was an idea for a series of weekly shorts that told the story of a war torn kingdom set in a far off galaxy. Season 1 started Friday December 26, 2014. Due to the unforeseen circumstances (discussed here), this idea was scrapped. You can find what was written under by clicking here.


The Challenge

On August 21, 2013 I vowed to post something to the site every day for a year. This challenge was taken on to reorganize my time for writing. For this challenge I focused mostly on creative writing such as poems and short stories, however a few opinion pieces and reflections appear as well. The challenge was completed on August 20, 2014.


Black History Month 2014

This Project was a sub challenge of The Challenge; each day for the month of February a different aspect or little known person of black history was spotlighted. Each post contains a poem pertaining to the aspect or person and how it relates to today, plus a synopsis of the history as well as citation links for further information.
