Overcoming Fear

Holiday seasons is a time for celebration and joy, however, it can also be fairly challenging when we are confronted with memories of yesteryear when we reminisced events, situation, and people in our past.

My Book, Sacrifices In The Name of Love Will Be Published Soon. Woohoo!

My book, Sacrifices In The Name of Love has been accepted for publication by Red Rose Publishing.

I didn't seem real until I went to Red Rose's website, and saw my title listed under the 'Coming Soon' tab. I know, I know, there's no bookcover yet, and not much information listed except a small book blurb, but it is e… Continue

I don't know if it's due to the election of Barack Obama to the presidency, or everyone now sees racism in this country as dead and buried; but it seems to be a growing trend to see a "brotha" on the arms of a Caucasian woman these days. Are they trying to say that a black man being seen with a white woman is an honor of some sort? Th… Continue
