What Have You Done For Me Lately

     The price of freedom is on the line, and for the people in the back of the room, or the Republicans in the rafters of a Trump Rally, this election is far too important to just allow your candidate to slide back into that ratty tatty White House; Trumps words not mine.      Oh no no no my friends.  Many supporters of the party of Trump often ask why should they vote for a person simply because of her skin color.  This election is more about freedom and Democracy than if a female is colored, black, East Indian, from Oakland, or whatever silly moniker the rabid anti-democrat wants to hang on the team of Harris-Walz.  This election is about the continuance of the party of Biden-Harris, and Obama-Biden before them.  Shall we count the ways.       The Biden Harris Administration has forgiven more than 95 percent of my student loans, and loans of nearly 5 million  fellow students.  This single-handedly wiped out more than $167 billion dollars in debt, according to the Associated Press.

Don't Just Speak It, Get Paid For Your Say

Image
      For year and years, I have been giving my opinion, of course nobody really wanted it, but hey it was free!  Now finally, I get paid to hear myself speak.      Seriously, I found a way to give my two cents and make hundreds of dollars!  With Paid for Your Say I actually opine, and they pay me.   Side Money | Paid For Your Say          This sharp-minded woman, Kimberly Dooley, actually took her 30 years of experience in marketing research, created her own company, and now she empowers anybody who will listen and take action to earn money for completing surveys, participating in mock court trials, and clinical studies.       I was watching one of my favorite YouTube Stars, Grammy and Emmy award winner TS Madison, and her co-host Craig Stewart.  Craig mentioned this fantastic opportunity.  His story was so touching and organic when he first spoke about Paid for Your Say, that I hung on every word.       Always the loving soul, Craig got to know one of his followers who was essentiall

WILLOW: She's A Vibe Realistically

Image
Willow Camille Reign Smith is truly a vibe for me.  She is talented beyond her earthly years, and she proudly tells listeners she is transcended from the 6th dimension; this I believe.  For her being so young she is definitely other worldly.  Her music does not beg to be heard, but rather insists we acknowledge her on her terms.  I have accepted the mission Willow. Her smooth rhythmic falsetto voice lends itself to alternative, rock, new age, and smooth R&B.  She is all the thangs. I am glad to be old enough to remember her predecessors Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morrisette and Erykah Badu.  To my sheroes of musical past, Willow has surpassed each of you with love and grace in her heart. She is now because you were then.  She is bold, and confident in her music and risk-taking.  For this I love her spirit.   We are not even going to speak the names of her famous parents, because this young lady stands in her own space of quantum charm, talent, peace, and song. She has a voice we need to

You Are a Hero, And Don't Even Know It

           The Year of the Lord 2024 is more than halfway through, and as I check my rearview mirror, I see a reality that is moving faster and faster.  Admittedly, I live and drive in the DMV, and drive like Miss Daisy so I get lots of dirty looks, horn honking, and number three fingers, but I digress.  2024 has shown me fast approaching wrecks, near misses, and easing out of tough situations with a smile.   I grew so much growth financially, personally and professionally as a business owner, Mom, and daughter.  The bumps and successes have been both exciting and eye opening for me.  I am a changed woman.  As I write this, I wonder how many eyes will enjoy the lilt of my written voice because videos have overtaken the written word.  I suspect few will see these words, so I write this diary for myself first and foremost.     Having said that, now it is time for me to go back to my roots as a professionally trained media journalist and immerse myself into the world of YouTube.  The New

Amerikkka! Amerikkka! God Shed His Grace on Thee

It's been 7 days since nine African-American church worshippers were gunned down after having shared prayer with the alleged gunman, 21 year-old Dylann Roof.  As predicted, the media has fully disappointed.  First, they couldn't stop calling this alleged enemy of the state a "Kid."  Really?  Trayvon Benjamin Martin was never known as a kid, though he was a mere 17-years old when  renegade neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman took his life.  Zimmerman would later be freed by a jury of his peers, only to be arrested 7 more times for assault crimes.   I heard a TV expert dissecting Roof's background that would be appalling to most, and he couldn't help call him a kid.  The adjective denotes innocence.  Many whites in America want to find out what demon took this child's innocence that would cause him to do such dastardly things.  Black America wants justice for the crimes.  The night before Roof's arrest I found myself in a Twitter debate with Nick S

No Justice No Peace

When I woke this morning the world was whole, but now as I lay my head down to sleep under the blanket of freedom we are all supposed to be afforded in America I realize our nation is shattered in a million pieces.  Nine black people lay dead in an AME church in Charleston, South Carolina after a single, white, gunman entered the sanctuary and opened fire. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/06/17/charleston-south-carolina-shooting/28902017/ I have more questions than answers.  Why does this keep happening in our country, and how could someone commit such a heartless crime against humanity, in a church of all places.  What should our response be?  Can this gunman be forgiven his sins against our community? I was just extolling the virtues of the human race since Adam ate that apple, and now it appears the sins of man just keep growing more and more insidious and malicious.   As I scan my Twitter timeline, my emotions run high.  Black twitter is urging our community

A Path of Least Resistance

Taking the path that one's heart desires is what I must give myself permission to do.  What am I afraid of?  Why would I be afraid?  Don't I have the faith of a tiny mustard seed?  This is what I have always told myself.  But it is now that I intend to step out on faith and pursue my heart's desire to study law.  I must quiet the noise that says it is not the best to do because legal jobs are scarce.  I must know that this desire that has been planted in my heart was placed there for a reason.  Here I go, me and my 5-year old kindergarten, we are going to law school.  Now back to the LSAT I return..........
