The other night I was out on the balcony, getting some fresh air and just, thinking. I’ve recently started to get into researching the school-to-prison pipeline, when I came across this article online about Post Incarceration Syndrome (PICS). Quick breakdown, (to avoid going too far into detail), PICS is a mixed mental disorder with four clusters of symptoms: Institutionalized / Antisocial Personality Traits Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Social-Security Deprivation Syndrome Reactive Substance Use Disorder Again, not going into specific detail about any of those, but you should definitely check out the article when you get a chance. After reading over it, I started to think about myself and my jail experiences. I had never really thought about it until now, but to me it explained a lot. See, before I started on my little “outlaw” run, I wasn’t the way I am now. Meaning I wasn’t a homebody. Before I was out every weekend or chance I could get to go out. Didn’t matt...

Remember back when the days of social media consisted of making your sibling get off of the house phone, so that you could dial-up to AOL Chat? Or logging onto Myspace to check to see if lil shawty from Arizona hit you back yet? I mean, the biggest dilemma you had was trying to explain to why your homeboy, who you hooped with everyday, wasn't in your top friends. These days there's no telling what you'll get sliding down your timeline. Videos of students fighting teachers. Brothers standing in the middle of the street, flashing guns and money. Social media challenges have replaced homework. Because let's face it, there's more family involvement there with hope of going viral. The invasion of of your personal and private cyber life. At least once every couple of months, we're all tuned into another episode of  "DM Gone Wrong: Celebrity Edition", waiting to see what new juice leaks out. Ready to start generating the memes and hashtags; The viral assaul...

Float with me on this.. I've been thinking a lot lately about the Haitian Revolution, not really sure why. Couldn't even really tell you where it came from, but i've been doing some HEAVY research on it; and today in one of our frequent conversations, lol , I'm going just going to share with you, what he has explained to me....but only because he told me too lmao...(y’all probably think i'm tripping but just hear me out lol!!!) Now, to avoid getting too deep (because i can get deep lol), essentially, the african slaves that were brought to what was then, Saint-Domingue, revolted against the white slave owners, and took back what is now, Haiti..they killed all the white people...Allofem. Gone. lol..Well, the European and other white leaders started to hear about it because they were white refugees fleeing from Haiti. Peep that Trump, white refugees, who'd ever thunk huh? smh. The slaves got tired of being slaves and all linked up. Well, what does any of ...

After trying to figure out where I was going to go with the follow up to What's Happening To Our Black Men , I checked a few of my social media feeds and I found it. Health Care! Healthcare is a major topic that’s currently going on right now and I thought I’d give my take on it. So with that being said, let’s get into it shall we?!?! My thoughts started me with Moses and the striking of the rock at the Waters of Meribah (Num 20) . Now, quick summary. This passage is most known for the being the cause of Moses not being able to enter into the Promised Land. Within the first month of being in the wilderness, the people got upset with Moses because they had no food or water. They even ask him why would he bring them into the wilderness to die (v.4) .They were almost ready to kill this man! At this point, Moses and his brother Aaron, manage to sneak away from the people. They had to go pray about it lol. God then tells Moses, “Take the staff, and assemble the congregati...

For the past few days, single mothers has been a topic that i’ve been hearing a lot about. It sparked my interest when I saw a tweet about it. The tweet was about a predominantly black youth department where 80% of the kids didn’t have a father present. It went on to ask “Why men traditionally gotta be awful?”, in which I replied, “If God hadn’t put Joseph into place, Mary would have been a single mother”. After doing a brief search of single black mothers, I found that over 72% of black children are born to single mothers. Immediately after reading that, my mind went back to the Amerikkka's Attack on the Black Community  post; Jesus more specifically. Remember how I explained how I thought the devil is operating in the United States Government?? Well… Float with me on this. We aren’t told much about Joseph in the scriptures, but we know that he was worthy enough to be handpicked to father the Son of God. It’s also interesting to note that he wasn’t mentioned until the tim...

...in the wake of what's happening in #chicago ...ima drop this today There was an article published by The Courier-Times newspaper back in May that caught my attention. It was on the front page of the “Living in Person” section, with the headline: “Students Experience Roaring 20s”. Local homeschoolers had put on show bringing the 1920s “back to life”. Also on the front page, was a picture of a group of kids; all “dressed to the nines as flappers and mobsters.” Machine Gun Kelly, Al Capone, Eliot Ness and Coco Chanel, just to name a few. The article begins by stating that: “It was the era of gangsters, Prohibition, and all that glitters.” It then goes on to tell us about the invention of the juicer. Which they even demonstrated by making lemonade. The students were taught about the art deco style, choosing a “celebrity” of the era and creating their own art pieces. The program ended with a feast from a variety of foods popular in that decade...peanut butter cups, chow mein, C...

After hearing about the Philando Castile verdict, and given the current state that the United States is in, I was confused. Is this what really had come too? How has the African-American community fallen so low, as to be BLATANTLY MURDERED ON-CAMERA , and the killer still walk away? Where has the fight gone!? Baffled and confused myself, I went deep into prayer. I wanted some answers and with no solid black leadership to turn to, there was only one source I could think of. God. Now, this entry may be a little longer than most, but there’s some things that need to be said. HIS response to my question …..???? Float with me on this. “Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks.” The path to my answer sent me directly to my bible. Jesus was the subject, the cru...
