When will the useless violence end? Men of colored arw allegedly being shot year after year. Do your due diligence and equip your vehicles with live dash cameras with night vision and records 24hrs a day. It comes with a sub card and collects daily videos on a mobile app to view as needed. Depending on where you live and your a man of color, you could also get a body camera on yourseld just like law enforcement. This will level the playing field and keeps law enforcement honest and men of color can have the opportunity to provide video of their innocence.

Kamala Harris is getting the attention of so many people that she is drawing crowds larger than former President Obama. Any southern family knows what the spirit of God is and my spirit leaped when God showed me this.

The Bible says, when Jesus comes back he’s going to crack the sky, the dead will rise and come back to heaven. Think about it, walking on streets of Gold and every beautiful mineral dug from within the earth . When November 5, comes will be like a second coming, Jesus will come down and cast his vote early for Kamala Harris. The spirits of those who have gone before us will rise up and walk to the poles with Martin Luther King leading the march. Shirley Chisholm , Megan Evers , President JFK, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X will be in line marching to the nearest poles to cast their votes. The greats like Michael Jackson & Whitney Huston tombs’ will burst open while Aretha Franklin will be singing “O what a fellowship” on her way to her nearest polling site. Great grandmothers and slaves who never had a chance to vote will also rise up to vote as they died for the day we now as people of color can vote.

I say to those that have never voted to get ready to vote because a day of reckoning has come! Don’t lose out on this historic opportunity just like having your name written in the BOOK of Life!

As they do in southern Baptist churches,

Won’t you come? Don’t just know that you have the right to vote, do it! Don’t sit down and support Kamala Harris but get on your feet and go VOTE! Catch an Uber and VOTE!Catch a taxi and go vote! Ask a friend for a ride to go VOTE! If you’re going to be out of town go early and VOTE! Let’s show our support for the first woman President of these United States and give no reason to guess who won the Presidential race. For a brighter tomorrow and for those who have gone before us so that we could have this right to vote.

So get uncomfortable and vote Kamala Harris for the next President of the United States of America on November 5, 2024.

As we prepare to send our children back to school, we must think about their safety. After buying all the school supplies and clothes we also need to think about their mental health as well. Take the time to have those hard conversations that your children don’t want to have. Give your children both mental and emotional tools to deal with life in the classroom. My daughter is turning 10 next month, and we are having those uncomfortable conversations with our daughter. Martial arts is a great tool for children to be involved in. It builds your childs confidence and raises their awareness while giving them discipline and the tools to defend themselves. The setting also puts your child with like-minded peers, and it helps with their own mental health. They say it takes a village to raise a child, we hope to be part of that village.

The real hussle!

When was the last time that you ordered takeout and they asked for a tip to pick up your own food? The hussle is real family because many well known restaurants add a tip for a party of 7-8 people (gratuity ) then leave a line for a tip even though you just tip them(service charge). And the hibachi restaurants charge for a table of 8 but you have no idea who the family is they just seated you with. Yes, true story, it happens all the time. We need to look closer at our receipts when we pick up and dine in at our favorite restaurants. Most of us are being hussled and we don't even know it.

Beware of the tip line when you go out to eat. They now also put the percentage of the tip you should give based on the price of your meal. I guess this is to shame us into leaving a decent amount to our server. I personally used to tip 100% of my meal and 50% to a bad waiter. So now with the recommendation of what you should tip i now follow their suggested tip and leave 20% -25%. In my opinion you get more of a tip if you are a good server. The advise for what I should tip shouldn't be on the receipt as the best tips come from great service.

Prostate Cancer

When I heard that Dexter King passed away from prostate cancer, my knees buckled. I actually had to keep myself from falling. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s son was several days short of his 63rd birthday.

Let me say it again: Black and brown men, don't wait until it's too late to be checked for cancer!

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently spoke about his prostate cancer diagnosis and his decision to keep it private. I could relate. When I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer I did the same thing. But I changed my mind, especially after speaking with the VCU Massey Cancer Center [link to video], and I now believe that men of color must get checked for cancer when they turn 30.

Do you ever wonder how long you have carried a disease? Especially after a cancer diagnosis? Why are we being told to wait until a certain age to be screened for cancer? I recall my weight loss doctor telling me that he saw a spot on my liver, but he wasn't concerned. He approved my surgery, and I wanted the surgery so much that I didn't revisit that spot on my liver until my body told me something was wrong. Everyone told me I was too young to be tested for cancer! Can you believe that? I had to advocate for myself and get second and third opinions, because my body kept telling me something wasn't right.

After my colonoscopy, everyone had to admit that I was right. I had cancer, but by then it had spread. That spot the doctor saw years earlier, and ignored, was in fact cancer that spread from my colon. I was 48 when I was diagnosed, and I'm not sure I would be here if I'd only listened to my doctors. They told me to wait until I was 50 for a colonoscopy. I also listened to my body.

If something hurts don't ignore it, and you should never let a doctor tell you how you feel.

Lloyd Austin, I'm praying for you and hope that you have a speedy recovery. I too am still fighting the side effects of chemotherapy, and I've been in remission for two years. I have had at least two major surgeries a year since 2020. My nine-year-old daughter asked me not to have surgery in 2024. I promised her I wouldn't. By God's grace I won't.

I can't say enough about how important it is to catch cancer early. My cancer could have been caught earlier, but it was still caught early enough to save my life. It can save yours too. Or the life of someone you love.

Rest in paradise Dexter King.

An unforgettable car ride that lasted a lifetime.

I was about 6 or 7 years old & I can not remember why we were in NYC, but it was just my dad & I. I remember the car we were in, a red Jeep Wrangler with a black soft top, my parent's just bought. I remember seeing a bunch of tall apartments. My dad pulled over and got out of the car, I don't recall him saying anything to me before he left but I was alone, long enough to be scared. I specifically recall pretending to push down the nonexistent door locks, as if that gesture would be seen by anyone of the shady looking characters watching and would deter them from coming in. What felt like an eternity was probably was about 10 or 15 minutes, until he returned. But what has remained, seared in my mind, is that I could not stop staring at his right coat pocket. Knowing now what has already transpired, I wish. I wish I had reached into his pocket. ..
