Yesterday was enlightening. I was called into the office. I was surrounded by my store manager, my ops/hr manager and my merchandise manager. We all know what this means. Either you are getting promoted or you are being put on warning. I was the latter. Seems my skills set is subpar, I can’t prioritize worth…

Mediocrity is king
New Age brings with it a new reality of the mediocre. Social media has brought a wave of people who are mediocre at best. Meaning the work with humanity’s base instinct. Fart jokes. Crude humor and such. Now while there is nothing inherently wrong with that we seem to be flooded with so many that…
Define you for you
Funny how the world views you and how you view yourself. What makes it even funnier is when feelings get hurt when you show exactly who you are. It took me a long time to finally get comfortable in the skin I was born in. I didn’t look like anyone else and was made fun…

Not everyone is going to like you
I have been watching plenty of instagram stories and tweets. Seeing a lot of people talking about why they may be by themselves or you ain’t living life right if you ain’t got haters.

Always aware
There is a huge unwritten rule for being black anywhere in the world. You are not welcome. African Americans are not even welcome in Africa by some as if it was our fault that our ancestors were sold and put to work on a land that isn’t ours. I cannot speak for other races on…

Say what you mean and mean what you say
Words can be kind and they can also be cruel. We say things everyday without sometimes realizing how they may affect the person you may be talking to. Now before you cry, so what you can’t tell jokes, hell yeah you can tell jokes. The issue involves not knowing whether someone in the audience may…
Burn in effigy but don’t blame me
Trump this and Trump that. Since his inauguration, it has been a cluster of what he is doing and what isn’t doing. How his cabinet are essentially idiots ( I tend to agree) and basically that the four horsemen are just waiting for his thin skinned ass to push a button. Now never mind the…
