So its spring break. That means no students, no classes. But this time is not just for physical classroom absence, but a time to feed myself and to reflect about teaching. I want to be a better Professor and educator overall and come back flamed and renewed and better. To do just that, I have […]
Well spring is here. And one of the awesome things about spring is eating outside!! New York City takes full advantage of this. Restaurants begin to expand their seating to the outside and people go crazy. Well the weather has changed and that means i get to do what I love to do and thats […]
So my birthday was a blast. I started it off heading to a pottery studio to paint some tea cups. I know, I know, it doesn’t sound exciting, but you will be surprised. Me and my bud enjoyed ourselves!!! Try it. We then headed to dinner and then the ultimate trip: I saw RACE on […]
Drum Roll Please………: Look at that woman above. She is awesome, jolly, cool, creative (but don’t really play drums), and another year better. Enough third person chatter. Today is my birthday!!!
One day in August, in a decade that bought us awesome music, my mom and dad did something that made me pop up 8 months […]
My 33 year old sister has Lupus. Since she left her full time job and they took away her 2 year retirement disability, shes being trying to figure out how she was going to pay for her medicine. She has a chronic illness and she is stressed about prescriptions. My mom passed away in 2006. […]

So I came across Raghava KK by watching the TED video clip below. His artist journey and story is pretty interesting. He started off as a cartoonist and have gone through several changes since. In the 14 minute clip below, he talks about his life and explains his transformation.
I learned so much by watching his […]
I’ve had three TV crushes in my lifetime. The first one was in the 5th grade and it was on Hakim from the singing group “The Boyz”. Although time has gone by, that crush still lies awake. The other crush was my freshman year of college and it was on Tyson Beckford. I remember going […]
A few weeks back I came home early on a Friday and noticed from out my window that a guy was yelling in the street. I looked out the window and it was the white guy on my block who blast loud rock music from his car from time to time. He was walking, flustered […]
I’m one of the biggest Lauryn Hill fans out here in the universe. I started growing locks 10 years ago and started playing guitar with her as inspiration. I found this video online, just thought I’ll share. Its pretty cool and Whoopi is too.
I live in a typical Brownstone Apartment in Brooklyn. NYC is already crowded and pressed for space and it is reflected in our living space. At times, I complain about what may appear like a small apartment, particularly in comparsion to the down south homes I’m more familiar with. But my perspective about what small […]
Cancer sucks

doubters who believe in its power more than the power of the human spirit

So after coping a recipe courtesy of Emeril from TV the other day, I got the confidence to try peppered steamed red snapper out. It wasn’t bad. My bud Serena and I scraped our plates. Geesh, I’m getting so much better at this cooking thing. yah!
So about a year ago I was introduced to a writer in Brooklyn named Jean. Last year, Jean introduced himself to me via email and told me that he had heard that I had publishing experience and wanted to meet me for dinner for advice. I was down. We connected, talked, exchanged our writing journey, […]
So Im trying to do some different, drastic, life changing yet beneficial things in my life this year. You see, I’m trying to switch it up. And after years of procrastinating, I proclaim that this is the year that I will begin the habit of cooking. Now, don’t judge me or think that I’m less […]
