Although I was born in Barbados and raised in Brooklyn. I had no real connection to my birthplace until I visited the county in 1976, that visit changed everything. It was a father son retreat, it wasn't billed out as such at the time. Saturday mornings were devoted to spending time with my Dad while he worked side jobs in the neighborhood. I couldn't wait until it was my turn, because my brother would come home with all sorts of treats. By the time I was old enough the tradition came to an abru...

We are certainly living through frustrating times, science education and rational thinking are being trampled underfoot. We're living in the divided states of America.

We all have our own personal bias, I jokingly say, I assume everyone with a pickup and a large American flag flapping in the wind is a racist-there's no factual data to support my claim. Then there's this thing I have against Subaru owners, 99.9% of the time when I'm cutoff on the highway it's by someone driving a Subaru-again there's no statistical data to support my claim. I don't actually believe these claims, its just a sneaky suspicion I have based on my own experience. One of my good frien...

There are those in the media who will go to great extremes to justify their position even in the face of being dead wrong, in the middle of trying to contort themselves into a lie the truth is trampled on. Andrew Gillum is in the news being praised for coming out as bi-sexual, his sexuality was never an issue for me bringing it up now is pointless. Roger Goodell and the NFL use Colin and Anthony in BLM propaganda piece. Kanye declares himself the new Moses and calls the NBA and the music the new...

For the past two weeks I've been obsessing over the misplacing of my iPhone, its an old phone which doubles as a camera/notebook/productivity tool. A lot of crazy ideas, photos, apps are on this phone so its kinda of important. When you live alone, there's no one to ask of blame for moving your iPhone, so you tear the place upside down looking in areas where you haven't been in years-but your hopefully. Well I solved the mystery. If you're tired of a station that doesn't speak to your needs and...

Book publishing is a business, his publishers obviously did the math and figured out they'd get the most bang for their buck leading up to the election. IMHO releasing the information earlier wouldn't have made a difference, this administration would've have done what their doing now downplaying the revelation. The mainstream media gallops around town on their high horses as if they've got a lock on information and journalistic integrity, meanwhile they don't call Trump on his racist BS during t...

We often give ourselves a pass for things that we condemn other for, I'm trying to break the habit. We're living in the social media the yellow pages are dead, I'll occasionally get a yellow book delivered and it goes straight to the trash.

In today's episode, we talk about switching up your news diet and a NYT article -(faces of power). In the wake of 911, I log on to Twitter before the broadcast I noticed #allbuildingsmatter. My sister survived the tower attacks and I wouldn't make jokes about a tragic event. I can see the irony in the hashtag. I don't own any pearls and if I did, I wouldn't be clutching them now even at the sight of seeing the hashtag #allbuildingsmatter. #Allbuildingsmatter is an an absurd response to 911 just ...

I am no longer outraged are surprised by what comes out of this administration. It becomes a ridiculous exercise to try to muster up a new level disgust, contempt and surprise from the previous day. What I can do is focus on the things I can control within my sphere of influence. Leadership is something that is important to me, it’s a topic that I’ve been curious about for years. I’ve invested money into my own personal leadership development, when courses and supplemental leadership seminars w...

In celebration of Labor Day, or should say a long week, I figured I'd treat myself to some ice cream. I woke up this morning with what felt like a hangover.

I'm tired of denouncing politics. If you have to ask a leader to come out in support or denounce something then it's going to come across as contrived or forced. Begging the guy in White House to speak out against vigilante justice is a waste of time, I guess it makes for a good sound bite.
