Five Years Later (Runaway Love)

Writer’s block is a bitch…everyone who considers themselves one goes through it. The only reason I seem to have these lapses in being able to put pen to paper-or thoughts to laptop-is because I am almost always drawing from my own personal experiences. It gets tiring. Sometimes, I that part of my mind and […]

Reflection Over Grey’s Anatomy

Last night, I watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, in support of my good friend, AJ. He had a small role in which he played one of the EMT workers when the ambulance blew up. Within the last month, I’ve seen him on major television show and in a T-Mobile commercial. Ever since he […]

Cydney’s Fifth Birthday

Cydney Milner turned five on Sunday. By Monday morning, I was feeling hungover from the preparation, execution, and the financial toll the weekend took on my mother and me.

The Gospel According to Nipsey Hussle Pt. 2

I wake up before 5 am. There’s an intrinsic fulfillment that I get from starting my day before the daybreak. It isn’t easy to do because as much of a morning person that I am, I am equally a night owl. If doesn’t matter what time I go to bed, when the alarm on my […]

The Gospel According To Nipsey Hussle

It doesn’t take very long to realize that I am quite a hip hop head. Not only is it the culture of my generation, but I am engulfed in it. More than anything, I’m in love with the music. I like certain emcees and producers and their body of work. However, there is a fairly […]
