Sit For Equality, Stand Up For Change

August 26, 2016: Colin Kaepernick, Quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers (a NFL football team), sits down in a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers during the national anthem. People begin to cry out and burn his jersey. Why would a young athlete do such a thing? Well, I’m glad you asked! When he was asked why he simply…

#SPOCK

Okay so I’m gonna nerd out on you guys today . . . So I watched this movie on Netflix called For The Love of Spock and it was actually pretty interesting! Now I’m definitely guilty of loving some Star Trek! I know I wrote a blog about it when I come to think about it . . . it’s called…

Juice Squad: Turning On The Mic

So about 3 years ago me and four of my friends created a podcast that airs once a week on Sunday called Juice Sunday. It was named after the group we had named Juice Squad. The origins of the group was on the designation of juice names we had created for one another. Juice is a reference to someone that…

Petty Haterations

Some of you guys out there apparently didn’t grow up listening to Mary J Blige. “Don’t need no hateration, holleration in this dance for me” Those are the lyrics from Family Affair, a great song about just having a great time. No one causing any problems . . . no one slanging slanders with them twitter fingers. Tradition dictates that…

Living Your BEST MF LIFE!

For me to live my best life is to live without fear. I decided that I would not let fear keep me from doing the things that I love or want to do.

Hmmmm…Now That’s A Habit!

I recently read The Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg and it is definitely a book I have easily recommended to all of my friends. The book basically defines what a habit is, how they are created, how you can begin to change them, and how to make them stick. What I found that was interesting is how everything we…

Snap, Crackle, Pop My Back!

All my life . . . (in my KC and Jojo voice) . . . my back has been all jacked up. I was a year round athlete by the time I was in fourth grade and despite my mother’s wishes that I’d be some sort of dolled up princess person, I was a tom-boy. Rebellion at its finest. Many…

Decoding The Forehead Kiss

Now I feel like this is one of those topics that has probably transcended time and space. Why I bet even the great Cleopatra sat around and wondered what that first forehead kiss from Caesar or Antony really and truly meant. Now historically speaking in the life of a girl, the forehead kiss originates from our fathers, grandparents or uncles. It…

Honestly About Honesty

You can’t handle the truth! Many of us grew up believing that honesty is the best policy. Not all of us apparently. Anyways, they instilled in us the fact that the only good way was the way without lies. Even the smallest of white lies was not all the time okay. The only times they were not as bad was…

Unshackle Your Mind

What is your name? Where are you from? There are a couple major issues in our society in regard to people not having pride with either their name or origins. Your name is literally who you are. Who are you? Your name is connected to your mother and father who are connected to their mother and father going back to…
