Brainwashed

While channel surfing last night, stumbled upon Tom Burrell (the advertising giant) being interviewed on Tavis Smiley’s PBS show. He was talking about his new book – Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority. Some of his thoughts so closely mirrored my own that I had the eerie feeling that

No Excuses Learning

I first saw a story about the Harlem Children’s Zone on 60 minutes. It’s is a school in Harlem, in an area where many would have you believe, is impossible for kids to learn, excel and head off to college – yet he’s done it. Their story is inspirational, and

Miscellaneous Ramblings

I came across two blog posts today that I wanted to share, so rather than my usual pontifications, I’ll direct you to take a look at a worthy posts from a couple of the blogsphere’s gems: Afrobella – I admit I’ve become a bit jaded against traditional medicine. A wrong prescription

Technology, the Internet and Cuba

I read an article today where a black baseball player stated that his Dominican teammates were not black. Sigh. It seems that there are still (hopefully a minute number) some people in black America that believe that slaves were rounded up from Africa and were somehow, only taken to

7 Days of Change – Day 7 – Sexual Responsibility

We’ve come to our last post for this quarter. Remember, change takes time. From now to June, you should examine the action items from all 7 days, plan, implement and report. I see destruction. We live in a time where couples aren’t staying together and when parents are dying,

7 Days of Change – Day 6 – Sleep

A Harvard Health study indicated that 75% of us experience sleep problems at least a few nights a week. I’d guess that all of us have a sleep problem every now and again, but apparently this isn’t the issue. What is – is chronic sleep loss. There are

7 Days of Change – Day 5 – Green Living

My journey on the road to embracing the “Green” movement began a few years ago. I’ve suffered with allergies my entire life and my skin is also sensitive. Cleaning (one of my favorite pastimes) would invoke sneezing fits, and if I dared get a drop of product on my

7 Days of Change – Day 4 – Mental

Quite a lively discussion going on the other challenge days. Don’t be shy, chime in. Your challenge today – Mental health. In my view, there are two aspects of mental health: the medical kind, and the life enriching kind. Mental health carries an irrational stigma. I’m not

7 Days of Change – Day 3 – The Doctor

Keeping things rolling, we must talk about another topic many of us would rather we didn’t. That’s right, the dreaded annual exam. If you haven’t done so already this year, and especially if you also neglected to do so last year – STOP what you’re doing and make an
