When I first learned the story of Jordon Trishton Walker — presumably former Director of Research Development and Strategic Operations at Pfizer — I thought it was fake. One part of me is still clinging hopefully to the idea that it's all a hoax.
Megan thee Stallion: a Cautionary Tale for Young Black Women
So, Megan thee Stallion revealed this week that yes, it was Tory Lanez who shot her last month, and the internet has gone absolutely wild. I’ve been watching this story for weeks now, and I hate to say it, but I predicted this would happen. I knew she was going to eventually spill the tea, …

What Do You Do When Grown People Act Like Kids?
I can only believe — mostly because I want to — that right now we’re going through some kind of farcical growing pains in society. Why? Because I see too much name calling, finger pointing, lying, he say she say type behavior going on, and it’s exactly the type of nonsense you engage in before …

Ben Affleck, Can You Please Stop Talking about Jennifer Garner?
Believe it or not, I usually go with a less is more approach when it comes to how much to share online. It may seem like I let it all hang out in my blog and in other places, but I usually only speak when I have something to say. I censor myself, a lot. …

Cory Booker, There’s Colloquialism and There’s the Presidential Debate
So, Democratic Presidential candidate and current New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is all over the news this week for his use of a popular colloquialism referencing Kool-Aid – sigh – during the second night of CNN’s Democratic primary debate.

Nice Girls Do Not Always Finish Last, but Bad Boys Can Be Canceled
I’ve been a bit lax watching my favorite beauty gurus on YouTube lately, but you’d have had to be under a really heavy rock to not hear about the drama between Tati Westbrook and James Charles. Both are big name digital influencers with millions and millions of followers across multiple social media platforms. But as …

How Well Are You Marketing Yourself?
I worked a conference with one of my clients this week. It was a small show, not a ton of traffic, so I had an opportunity to chat with a few of our fellow vendors. As company representatives they were primarily in the sales and marketing field. One gentleman and I got into a detailed …
Don’t You Love It When Criminals Are Happy, Smiling and Perfectly Contoured?
So, the big news this week is the college admissions cheating scandal. But it’s not the scandal itself that I find interesting. Didn’t we always know that rich people pay in unsavory, under the table type ways, to get their kids into the best schools? It’s been a storyline or a sub story line in …

Zayn, Beware the Overshare
Singer Zayn is getting a ton of flack for saying that he no longer identifies as Muslim. Now, ordinarily my relationship with God – or anyone else’s for that matter – is not something I care to discuss. I rarely report on anything related to this kind of subject matter. I won’t even tweet out …
Privacy Is No Longer a Thing. Ask #planebae
I can’t get away from these hashtags, y’all. If you haven’t heard the story of #planebae, let what you read here serve as “a digital-age cautionary tale about privacy, identity, ethics and consent.” Here’s what happened. Earlier this month two women on a plane switched seats so that one could sit next to her boyfriend. …
