TOO MANY FAIL IN BUSINESS

My friends we are going back to the basics. We are going to start with a foundation in business 101 and build to mastering the tools of today and push forward to winning in business. Winning in business, by the way is not easy. It is simple, but not easy. Our greatest asset in this world is our people. And it irks me to see so many come into business and leave without making it. They become jaded and lose a little dignity in the process. Who likes to lose? No one. But our industry is… Continue

What is my dating purpose? Borrowed from BlackPeopleMeet by Twanna A. Hines

Here's a question unmarried people rarely ask: what is my dating purpose? Whether searching for a new boyfriend, babymama, booty call or your next blissful partner to wed, your desired dating outcome should affect the timing and frequency of your dates. No judgments here. Date as often as you like and as many people as you like.

Beautiful Brown Hope

Beautiful Brown Hope

I am that which blends

the best the heavens have to offer

with the most earthly of thoughts.

Wisdom, passed down from the best

of what my ancestor's taught,

in constant negotiation with self.

My identity, as unimportant

nothing is left

without my name upon it;

sharing its place with

so many names and faces before… Continue

The scientific minds inside of you

My evolutionist brothers and sisters, correct me if I am mistaken.

I am just quietly observing just inside the shadows of this vast universe.

Is this where your humanity has taken you?

Have you stooped so low as to deny the existence of the GOD that created you?

The sad reality is man has always rapidly denied,

The well-meant simple gift of life from the divine creator.

However, I question,

“Is… Continue

Branded

Branded

Oh say can you see the

scars from past history,

you so cleverly

ask me

or see my face in the news,

or my application is refused because of my color,

I’m reminded.

You criticize me for not taking hold of my destiny

But you’re the one… Continue
