My thoughts on Life, Writing, Hollywood, Children, My Neighbors, Love & Growing Up
"We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope" -Martin Luther King I've had a very inspirational week. I suppose this should come at no surprise being that we started it off celebrating one of the most prolific and poetic men in our country's history. We could all use a little Martin Luther King in...

Call me ambitious, call me competitive. Some of my favorite moments in life revolve around sports. There's nothing quite like the glory that comes with a Grand Slam or a photo finish. I can still remember standing in a bar in Chicago watching Michael Phelps win the 100 m butterfly in Beijing by one one-hundredth... Continue Reading →
Minus the times my brothers were active in the military my family has always been together for Christmas. It's my favorite time of year. These are my people, my tribe, my kin. Who else is going to finish my mom's tequila and facetime every single person in my phone? It's truly the best...for about 4... Continue Reading →

Some people are significant, others have said significant things and many have proven themselves to be quite insignificant. Some I stay in contact with regularly. Others have turned into friends on social media. Some I speak to less... Continue Reading →
You're not going to want to hear this but you have a problem. America has a problem. We all have a problem. While you may be the star of the show called your life, the spotlight doesn't always belong to you. In fact, there will be times it's not supposed to be on you. There... Continue Reading →
In case you need a reminder, it's mid October. It's that time of year when white girls all over the country eat, drink and breathe pumpkins. And while they raid stores fulfilling their annual obsession I'm sitting here having a minor panic attack because this year has flown by faster than my relationship with that... Continue Reading →
The average person spends five years waiting. If that didn't just make a single tear fall down your cheek or make your head wanna pop off, you have more patience than I will ever know in a lifetime. Five years is a really long time. I will have spent more time in traffic than I... Continue Reading →
