As my timeline is filled with think pieces & opinions about the tragedy of Nolan Xavier Wells, being black in predominantly white social groups & other rage baiting but necessary discussions I see something else. “Watch the company that you keep” as what my elders instilled in me & my best friend reminded me last night on the phone. Yes, we can bring up Tamla Horsford, a 40-year old Black mother of five who died on November 4, 2018, at an adult sleepover in Cumming, Georgia

The whole “Michelle Obama is a man” wave is so weird to me because Michelle Obama is the epitome of what a Black Woman looks like. Like when I think of an MC, Black Thought instantly comes to mind & when I think of Black Woman it’s Michelle Obama. 1st- Her birth name is Michelle LaVaughn Robinson 2nd - She’s from Chicago If that doesn’t scream “Black Woman” then I don’t know what TF does. Michelle probably has a hot comb burn/scar on the back of her neck. Besides her Husband,

Walking out of Michael, I didn’t feel disappointed but I did feel incomplete. It’s not the 27% disaster Rotten Tomatoes is making it out to be but it’s also nowhere near the cultural electricity of Thriller. And that’s kind of the problem. What Worked The Casting Jaafar Jackson, Juliano Krue Valdi, Nia Long, and Colman Domingo all delivered. You believed them. Lorenz Tate as Berry Gordy and Kendrick Sampson as Quincy Jones were solid grounded, believable & necessary. Only mis

Brothas & Sistas: Brothas- I’m not going to act like in all my years of living that I’ve never played a woman, but there’s a different type of fuck n**** & manipulation behavior to bring ya girl around your parents & call her “Meg Thompson” if all you’re going to do is cheat still. Especially being in ya late 30s. Sistas- saying “Meg made him famous” is inaccurate. Steph Curry, those 3rd quarters & 4 rings made Klay famous so please knock it TF off. There are people in this w

The first time I saw Klay Thompson in person was in Las Vegas at a Hard Rock Hotel pool party. He had his own cabana and it was filled with about 50/11 baddies. He looked like a young Hugh Hefner I thought to myself “Ok Klay, I see you”. My next Klay Thompson experience was when I was dating this woman who claimed to had “fooled with Klay” and she told me that Klay would spoil you for a period of time, get bored & then move on. Today all up & down my timeline black women are

This post is for insecure men. Men who have got caught in a few lies, had a child out of wedlock or relationship, put “mines” on the juice or drives her Altima while she’s at work, so “secure men” stop reading this because it doesn’t concern you. Insecure men, you’re in trouble because Chris Brown & Usher have combined like the infinity stones to wipe out all unhealthy & toxic relationships. Your woman’s thinking of an argument right now to start so y’all break up for a minut

Sometimes you gotta put a N***a in a headlock to let them know "I'm Him" A Bedtime Story by Shawn William When I was 15 years old, I was 3 inches taller than my Father. One day, I was feeling myself and felt the need to let him know that I was sick of his s**t. I wasn't cleaning up my room, I'll drink all of the OJ and if I felt like missing the toilet, "So da' fuq what! Deal with it old man". Now of course I didn't say that to his face, but I did say "No!' and walked up on h
