At this point, if you are willing to be dupped by Trump in his fail attempt for you to vote Republican for the mid terms, then I have a bridge to sale you in Niagra Falls. This past week, the Reuplican party held it's first mid term convention in Dallas, TX in which was filled with nothing but empty rhetoric, promises, and lies and the biggest one came from Donald J. Trump himself, who went on stage and told a his crowd that if you vote Republican this mid term and they conti

For every projection, there lies a confession. For every social post, there lies a weak, insecure wannabe dictator that wishes he could hurt people on the basis of his own feelings. For every insane person, there is always a Trump. It seems that November cannot come soon enough if you ask those who have suffered from this regime and you need to look no further than the outlandish "Truth" social post Trump decided to put up this Labor Day weekend. But this is less about his ra

The epitome of goodness, a classy lady, a businesswoman and a God -Fearing Christian, all things that described the one and only Dolly Rebecca Parton by peers and fans alike this week. On, Tuesday, August 25th, Parton departed this life, proceed by her husband of nearly 60 years Carl Dean after a brief battle with cancer and while the world continues to mourn her, what she meant to the black community was unmeasurable. Now, we all know the story of one of her most recognized

This week Gary, Indiana suffered a major storm that devastation the city. Seven people were killed and damages to property is estimated to be in the millions. However, it was after the storm that caused so much controversy. Much like the remanence of slavery, leaving black Americans foe dead or to fend for themselves is the name of the game. The city knew this storm was coming. No surprise there. What's infuriating is the lack of care on full display. Many in the city believe

So, this week, another young black individual from Mississippi was found hanging from a tree and the optics (like that of deaths before her) were automatically looked at as a suicide. Now, of course unfortunately suicides by any race can happen and the devastation of unanswered questions can linger. But due to trauma historical context factored in with sheer pain, it is highly unlikely any black person of the modern era would inflict that kind of suffering to themselves. 29-

We know these are difficult times for everyone. Living paycheck to paycheck seems more like the norm than the rarity. Going to the grocery store is the Hunger Games 2.0 trying to save all that you can. Even the gas pump makes us hyperventilate. It’s all becoming too much. But what will hurt even more is if you don’t move on an opportunity tailor made for you, you will forever regret what could’ve been. If I’m completely honest, times have been tough recently in every way you

Since the most recent wars in Ukraine and Russia, Isreal and Gaza and now Iran to suspicious deaths in our community, many who have prominent platforms have been speaking out on how these tragedies can affect the most vulnerable among us and that it is our right to not agree with any kind of force that is detrimental to the well being of our neighbor. That at surface level seems logical, but many conservatives don’t like that kind of talk because it is opposite of their agend

Well folks, the President has officially lost it. No, literally and it is clear he is running scared about what's (potentially) going to happen come November. Now, as the saying goes, "don't jump the gun", but by the looks of it, Trump knows his wannabe authoritarian regime is collapsing right in front of him, and he is not going down without a fight. This past week, Trump addressed the nation and thought it would be a great idea to rehash the old, tired lie that election f

I’m so tired of waking up and seeing the unthinkable come across my feed about another black child failing to come home due to (presumably) the conduct of others. Another child living his best life with his “friends” on a holiday weekend decided to go roughly 10 miles from shore when an alleged fight ensued between them. Of the four “friends” who went to this remote island, only three came back and it wasn’t the black child. From the jump, we knew 18-year-old Nolan Wells was

A black mother looses her child due to a percieved theft at a local market. Black child runs away in fear and is shot in the back. We're not angry enough. A child at a school event clashes with bullies under a tent in down pouring rain and unfortunetly a child dies and a black child (who was bullied) get's railroaded by a system. We're not angry enough. A president continues to fawn over his (black) predecessor with racist tropes just to get the attention he craves and we jus

Last week, on American soil, on the south lawn of the White House, a so-called-UFC style fighting match to (allegedly) celebrate Trump's 80th birthday as well as America's 250th birthday took place for the world to see. Young men pouncing around in a ring beating each other bloody in front of the nation. Another embarrassing notch in the belt for this President and his administration. Another day, another distraction from actual work. But what took place after the fight was

So, of course this week we saw the public (legal) lynching of now 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of Frisco, Texas who was accused of murder and was sentenced to 35-years in prison in a neighboring county. While we as a collective hoped and prayed the outcome would be different, we instinctively knew what was going to happen. First, when the makeup of the jurors we officially announced, we tried like always to take the high road and believe in the judicial system like we're alway

Well, here we are yet again. Under the thumb of a 34 times convicted felon who believes he is the king of everyone and everything, life has gotten more interesting. Let's see, this week amongst the previous months has been no different than, we've seen Trump fall asleep (allegedly) on camera multiple times, strange rashes popping up on his hands and swelling of his ankles and overall looking exhausted as you would expect an 80-year-old to look. That's just par for the course.

A few months ago, unbeknownst to many Americans, more than 120 nations in the UN came together and declared slavery as quote “The gravest crime against humanity”. A moment that many historically knew but maybe never acknowledged to its full capacity. It was a time to reflect on the atrocities that continue to affect the black diaspora globally. However, as the world came together to do better in its outreach, other nations shockingly stated in more laments terms they were not

So, there has been something in the works for a while now, and now that the ink is dry and the "yes" have it, me, along with my two dear friends, Liza and Dylan have begun the production of our podcast called "Shenan-Agains". Now, the name itself may take you by surprise, but it would be easier if I give you a little backstory on us three and the reasoning behind the name of our new endeavor. About a year ago, curious me decided to join a "live" on a social media platform. Ve

Congrats are in order for critically acclaimed actor, Michael B. Jordan on his recent Oscar win for playing not one, but two characters in the movie top charting movie "Sinners" . Leading up to that night, there have been whistles in Hollywood that MJB could very well be a part of a handful of black actors and actresses who have won the top honors of the night. As the majority of black America waited in intense emotions, we knew either way the wind blew, we would just accept

In what was one of the most watched races of the night on Tuesday, March 3, 2026 Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and Congressman James Talarico, both from Texas went head-to-head for a potential seat for Senate this November. As with much of everything, this race also had controversy all the way up to the end, and of course Black women getting the short end of the stick per usual. The night began with a large lead for Crockett. She and her team kept us informed throughout the

Well, happy new year. A time where we can let go of the old and bring in the new and believe in the bright future. Now, that would be so good if we were living in that moment however, we are not. We are only one-week in the new year, and chaos seems to follow this administration wherever it goes. This week alone, Renee' Nicole Good, 37 and a mother of three was brutally killed while steering her vehicle away from ICE agents who were in her community to trap and kidnap lawful

To no one surprise, at least to black women in America, there have been two public cases within a week that sparked outrage and disappointment at every level. One involving Kerrie Jones, a Texas resident who was in labor at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas, screamed aloud for an intervention as she was sure her baby was moments from making their debut. A white administrative nurse who was unwillingly to give any comfort or aid, stayed motionless at her statio

This week the DOJ finally drug its feet and released what they already had in their custody out of spite to seem bipartisan, they released the Epstein files that potentially could put another kink in Trump's already rusted armor. Among the "non-shockers", Trump and disgraced late businessman Jeffrey Epstein knew each other way before Trumps political career, and yes, he went to his private island and yes, he, Trump also had a fancy for barley legal young women. But what was
