Bridges (Black History 365)

This painting was created by Norman Rockwell which depicts a six-year-old Ruby Bridges with U.S. Marshall’s as she makes her way to the then all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans Louisiana. We’ve had many iconic black individuals who have made contributions and advancements to the civil rights movement during their adult life but […]

Basquiat (Black History 365)

To start the new month of February we’re in Black History month but from my perspective, the totality of the black experience cannot be appreciated in a month and most certainly not during the shortest month of the year. Why is it on the shortest month? I wish I knew but I have a hunch […]

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 […]

Not many are too familiar with Black Wall Street or the Rosewood Massacre that happened in Florida during the early 1920s but that’s another story, in this post I’m going to explain and explore the history behind Black Wall Street. If you’re familiar with the background of the incident that eventually occurred which was the […]

The universe dashboard

Past the stars I see warning signals flaring in the universe’s dashboard In 3, 2, 1 Nukes drop on impoverished streets and as far my eyes can see all is empty No sign of anything resembling life Bouquet of daisies stuffed in rifles Bullseye on every target giving away sweet goodbyes Words of caustic nonsense […]

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 […]

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 […]

As we’re nearing the end of the year I want to present a list of my top ten films of the 2019. The imperative word in that sentence is my because art is subjective and what I find enjoyment in and find interesting might be different from you or someone else. Furthermore, as an person […]
