Oh no. This one hurts so much. People need to understand that PTSD is not just “over” after a couple of weeks. Surviving something so utterly traumatising has long-term emotional effects. The US Healthcare System let down one more young life in favour of guns. I am so angry.

I discovered her with I was going to my Barry Manilow phase (come at me) and he created music for Johnny Mercer’s lyrics for the album With My Lover Beside Me in 1991. She was filled with such grace and elegance to me. A beautiful voice. 

Legend! I just can’t but feel like we didn’t celebrate her enough while she was on this plane.

What happens when “they” let you sit at that particular table...then you get too uppity.

I have NEVER lost a job, where God didn’t provide something profoundly better

Jackson got so comfortable among the blinding, shiny whiteness he was surrounded by that he thought the same rules applied to him.

“We pay you to talk bad about the coloreds, not the Lord’s White women....”

It’s not easy to get into and it’s not easy to graduate. Let the students celebrate. It’s a huge achievement. What is it…

somebody send this to that dude who keeps telling us he has a Black wife

Come on homie! This is the second health scare that you have had. I know you’ve been blessed with new opportunities but don’t let said blessings come at the expense of you not taking care of yourself.

Panic attacks are pure trash. I don’t wish them on anyone.

Damn, brotha. We are actually getting too old for the shit, now. Take care of yourself.

Panic attacks are normal. But the lucky people process them differently. But when they become the norm, you got a problem.
