So, unless you were living under a rock you know that this Juneteenth Kendric Lamar held a sold out, celebrity studded show at the Forum in LA. It was essentially a televised continuation of his successful attack on Drake. It all started with a diss track, and it has escalated into one of the most …

I’ve heard this so many times it’s sad. I actually wish I had a bill for every time I’ve heard some variation of: “You shouldn’t just write for one group of people.” Or — this one is a personal favorite — “Why are you being so exclusive? Don’t you think everyone needs help?” To which …

So, Grant Cardone is in the news this week. You may know him as an author and a purveyor of financial and business advice. I’ve never absorbed any of his content. I’m leery of anyone who’s made a fortune telling other people how to make a fortune — especially when they target specific audiences, like Black people. …

One of the fastest women in the world is a 21-year-old Black woman from Dallas with a penchant for brightly colored weaves, long nails and window washer eye lashes. Her name is Sha'Carri Richardson, and her appearance is all anyone can talk about. Sure, we acknowledge that she's on her way to her first Olympics, …

Those who follow my blog have undoubtedly noticed that I no longer follow my regular Friday posting schedule. A schedule I’ve kept to faithfully, barring a few holidays here and there, for many, many years. I regret that. I still feel a pang every Friday that I don’t post because it’s been a significant part …

I spoke to a friend recently who’s in the job market. She’s in a good spot in that she’s already employed, she’s just looking for a better opportunity. But she was grumbling about one particular person she works with who has single handedly spurred her to go hard at her job search. I just laughed. …
A woman I work with is moving from Utah. She of white, black and Native American ancestry, her Black husband, their two young children, even the nanny — they can't take it anymore. It's not a diverse place — understatement of the year, apparently — and too many of its populace can't keep their hands out …
