The Malian Empire: Mansa Musa (Black History 365)

So, we’re about to enter the month of February and it’s a month the U.S. “celebrates” a so- called Black History month when this history should be celebrated, taught and remembered throughout the year hence why on my last two posts depicting black history I had Black History 365 as part of the title. Also […]

Bad Boys for life film review

Whatchu gonna do when they come for you. There was a time when I thought there wasn’t going to be another Bad Boys film due to the skeptic in me not believing in all the rumors in the past few years, but it’s out and it wasn’t bad. This film remedied the lackluster of a […]

A look inside MLK JR Day

We celebrate the day and life of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr and everything he stood for when it came to gaining the civil liberties of black people and helping to end segregation, but there is something about him that had to change because his passive-aggressive mentality when it came to dealing with […]

Try and stop me

This is one of the poems from my 3rd upcoming Chapbook. Even though this is written in first person this is an unnamed narrator I created after looking at an photo. The “I” in this piece is not me, but it can apply to me and many others. They say all good things must come […]

All power to the people

Uncut Gems Review

Risk takers will continue to do what they know best because playing it safely brings no thrills and in the film Uncut Gems all the winnings come with their losses and conflict. Uncut Gems directed by brothers Josh and Benny Safdie is, in my opinion, a hyperactive film that won’t turn down it’s blaring volume […]

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker review

😒… After watching Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker I’m not sure where to begin because there were many aspects of the film that baffled me. I’ll address some of the questions I had while watching the film and maybe some viewers will share my perspectives. First and foremost even though I enjoy the Star […]
