Do you know? What it feels like for a pedestrian? Do you know what it feels like in this world for a pedestrian, when we are crossing the street, and y’all forget how four-way stops work? You cannot afford to hit this with your car. Relax – you are in a car. You’ll get there. […]

Can You Imagine?
The New York-born artist Michael Bailey, per the Whitney’s description, based this painting on diagrams of a ship carrying abducted Africans to the Americas that were published in 1780 by an English abolitionist group. No need to imagine it. This is how they did it.
Death
It’s tough when a loved one who never hurt you dies. They are in such short supply.
Protests on Campuses
Universities don’t silence, they amplify. They promote and share knowledge and research and community. The time for peaceful protest is now. This situation is global and humanity has to be heard and the response of the powerful must reflect the spirit of the moment. No one in their right mind wants more war for profit, […]
We Are World Central Kitchen
The fact that a convoy of World Central Kitchen workers – a flagless, borderless non-profit with a focused mission to help feed humans in moments of crisis – was stomped out of existence, that peace seeking was snuffed so cavalierly, cannot be ignored. All they do is help, boots on the ground, everyone everywhere, without […]
For Your Consideration: Peace
Being destructive isn’t brave. Peace may not be as lucrative, but it cannot be ignored – no matter what today’s Academy Awards ceremony might suggest. There is more money in crisis, but we neither have to participate in the persistent lunacy of the game of war nor tolerate its most involved players (after all, it […]

One of the topics of conversation whenever on the phone with someone back home has always been the weather. Smooth and easy, that topic. Like buttah. And I feel like, maybe, that’s a fairly […]
5cream Again
Oh wow. It has been 10 years since the last time movie audiences around the world saw OG Screamers Never Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox together again and fighting for their lives up on the big screen in Scream 4…not to mention, 25 years since director Wes Craven delivered the first and seminal Kevin […]
This Is the Last Time
This is the last time I beat myself up. The last time I knew a group of people, it fizzled because time ran out (the time before because I ran out…ish – another story, another time…or not). So I went away to reset unto an unknown time. People wondered where and how I’d be. I […]
Of goop and Me(n)
I listen to The goop Podcast, when I need to nurture my feminine side. Whoomp, there it is. And I gotta say, the recent conversation between Gwyneth Paltrow and Gabrielle Union was such a “J’ai eu un flash” moment. Union spoke to so much to which I could relate. And it helped, simply listening to […]
