What is the true definition of being “Culturally Diverse”?
When the issue of diversity has come up I've noticed that the concept has different meanings for people, depending on your ethnicity, your culture, your sexual orientation, your level of education, financial status, employment status, political affiliation, the community you live in, and how you've been raised among a myriad of other factors. Diversity: The quality or …

Understanding life’s lessons…
I’ve been thinking about life and how we all prefer to know precisely what to expect out of situations we find ourselves in, when we're going to succeed at whatever goal we're pursuing, or if we happen to be going through a tough time, when the tough time is going to end. But guess what? Life oftentimes has …
How the media reinforces mental slavery
In this day and age, mental slavery is much more than just a term. It's a psychological warfare tool that the media utilizes (in the programming that we are exposed to on a 24/7 basis), to manipulate the minds of targeted populations.

What is the Real Matrix? The reality is, everything is made up of energy. We are all …
The state of America today as I see it
So it's no secret that as a country, we Americans tend to comfortably reside in a perpetual state of denial as to the true state of the world we live in. As a country, we don't learn from the past, we choose to not heed the wisdom of those who have fought against oppression, enslavement, …
My thoughts on the “N*Word”…
Ahhh... this word has taken on multiple meanings over the years, and has been used by a myriad of people from all walks of life and races. From comedians, to young brothas standing on the corner yelling across the street to the next young brotha. Yet for all the justifications I hear from folks who …
Hello 2016: Today is a New Day
Today is a new day and remember that you will get out of it whatever you put into it… If you’ve made any mistakes, no matter how serious, there is always another chance to make things right. If you’ve failed and failed at something, you can have a fresh start- you just have to want …
