GoShorty TV is up and [...]

OK, I’m Sick

I was checking my updates from Every Block Chicago when I ran across this story about a 17 year old having sex with an 8-year-old child.  I cannot worry about grammatical errors as I write this; I can only pray through the tears that are falling.

I Was Trying to Keep Silent…

But, I just have to say something.
I received an email from someone at 12:00 a.m. requesting support of an event at 11:00 a.m.  While I understand that things happen, people need to give ample notice for certain events.  Then, “they” had their little soapbox moment stating that people should support people and events.  Well, we [...]

Mis-Education of the Negro

As we approach Black History Month, I had two thoughts:
1. Should I start a book discussion on Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s Mis-Education of the Negro on of my blogs?

2. Will the Chicago Chapter of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) have any events in Dr. Woodson’s honor?  I’m going [...]

6 Degrees of Separation or Fewer

It is believed that there is 6 degrees of separation between people you know.  I’d like to think that there are fewer degrees than that.  Let me tell you why.

I had a meeting with someone on Friday.  She was telling me her background and experience.  She made a statement, and I started having flashbacks to [...]

What Goes Around Comes Around

Today, I got the most blessed advice from someone regarding my business.  I am totally excited.
BUT, earlier in the day, I gave a couple resources to someone who is doin’ his thang with photography.  I knew a little bit, so I shared it.
I just felt that the information I received was a result of sharing [...]

Writing Ego or Free Fatigue

I don’t know if I’m developing a writing ego or if I’m just tired of people asking me to write and edit for free. Whichever it is, I’m feeling something.
Allow me to explain. I went to an organization to request resources for my Shorty Resource blog.  The person I spoke to told me that my [...]

I Am So Scholastic

I don’t even know how to shorthand text messages.  Is that abnormal?  I don’t know.  Can somebody let me know.

I Am Branding Myself – I GOT THIS!

I spoke to someone I truly adore and admire a couple days ago.  “They” were telling me that I needed to brand myself.  I know this.  That is what I am working on right now.  It took me three months to figure it out; now, I’m putting my plan into action.
I told “them” that I [...]
