Book Review: Uncomfortable Conversations With A Black Man

The problem with stereotypes is that they tend to persist, no matter how they started out.

It’s A Hard Knock Life!

Enough with the wiping the drool! It's a good look on me and it's staying! I have experience firsthand with only one child and that's not counting the immature people in my life who refuse to grow up. I have one child. ONE. TO. But he might as well be part of a set of... Continue Reading →
