Trust you, Trust me.

There are no coincidences.

I don't believe in them. If something occurs, its for my enrichment, for my edification, or for my growth. I will admit that its very hard to feel that way, consistently. I strife to always see some negative situations as beneficial to my growth.

One thing, I can't move past is when I lose trust and we I question intent and motives. A major flaw that I admit wholeheartedly. I give until I bleed. I'll give and give until I can't anymore. Maybe a flaw but well, I get it from my momma.

Nonetheless, in an exchange, there is trust. Trust is golden and precious.

Lose it with me. I'm sincerely done.

I'm fine with admitting this. I'm fine with being flawed. Its more important to come to the revelation of who I am and this is me.

Trust. I value it. I need it like a drug. Once its gone, my withdrawal process is not a pretty sight.

Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist" by Kevin Powell

In the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to have very brief conversations with Kevin Powell. Its very interesting to speak with someone with similar passions for community service.

My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did. In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
