It’s Not Always About Black History Month

Thank you, 2008, for giving us an extra day for Black History Month. It is greatly appreciated. Not sure if anyone has learned anything new about Black people and the history that Black people have made in America and across the world but the month is still appreciated by many. While attending a seminar the [...]

The Streets Are Watching

Why Don’t You Call Me Anymore? Is It Because of Black History Month?

Some Things You Just Don’t Say My co-worker was on her phone leaving a message to some dude she has been seeing for a couple of months. She happens to be white and her boyfriend of the moment is black. These were her words: Why haven’t I heard from you? It’s been a couple of [...]

President of the Islamic States of America?

I wonder about the minds of the people in the United States of America. Are Americans stuck in a state of 9/11 syndrome? I ask this question as there appears to be a smear campaign targeting Obama as a Muslim. If you’ve paid attention to the blogs most are saying that he plans on replacing [...]

Lies, Lies, Can’t Believe a Word they Say! – Part 2: Finding Love in the Big City XIII

 If you remember the last time you were in a sex drought, getting it is exciting and reminds you that damn it I’m still alive and someone still think I’m fine. Well, that is what it felt like.

Color, Culture, Race: What do you base discrimination on?

A few years ago, I went to see a Broadway show called Avenue Q with this girl I was seeing. There was a song that went, “Everyone’s a little bit racist.” As they were singing, I realized that the statement can be true (and probably is) but I would consider the phrase, “Everyone Discriminates” more [...]

First Time

First Time Between the toothpaste and floss Underneath the silky red panties, marred only by the price tag still on it In the zippered flap of my weekend bag – I am choosing. Panicking Praying for serenity Secretly smiling I am choosing Trojan, Durex, latex Sweet whispers of trust me . . . baby trust [...]

Walk Away

Staying here hurts more than leaving yet I don’t walk away Watching you love another while I love you hurts yet I don’t walk away Holding you knowing you’d rather hold someone else hurts yet I don’t walk away I sit here wishing, praying, thinking, wondering hoping that my love is enough You sit there [...]

Bona Fide Love

Waking up everyday knowing I have life, blessings from the Lord and a family that loves me. Knowing you are a part of my life and I am a part of yours. Thinking about calling you. Thinking about rolling over and holding you. No matter how near or far we may be physically, you never [...]
