104 year old Robert Grier, one of Winston-Salem’s first Black firefighters, celebrated his birthday with a surprise parade of firetrucks outside his home, honoring his 30 years of service…

The “Mother Wound” is the impact of having a mother who is absent or not emotionally attuned to your needs as a child.

It’s very real, and can lead to lower self-esteem, lack of self-awareness, difficulty self-soothing, feeling like nurturing relationships aren’t feasible.

I want Black men to live, long, healthy lives.

Don't let your love for somebody overlook the reality of the situation

Overdrawing your checking account can trigger that "in trouble" feeling that can make a CPTSD survivor spiral.

Money management broadly can hit that "trapped/controlled/in trouble" trifecta of triggers that activate our nervous system & dissociative defenses like nothing else.

1. Puerto Rico deserves water.
2. Gary, Indiana deserves electricity.
3. Black people deserve to not be lynched.
4. U.S. Americans deserve food without cyclosporiasis, salmonella, or shards of glass.

Black Men deserve to grow old.
Black Men deserve to be kept safe.
Black Men deserve to be free.
Black Men deserve to be held.
Black Men deserve to be protected.

Black Men deserve more.

Today, we remember Alton Sterling on the 10th anniversary of his death. 🕊️

While selling CDs outside a convenience store, he was fatally shot by police.

His death sparked national outrage and remains a painful reminder of how little Black life is valued in this country.

Black children deserve to grow old.

“Talk about a rare pairing. Less than 1% of professional pilots in the U.S. are Black women, so anytime two of us end up on the same flight deck, it’s pretty special.

Last time we flew together was May 2025.”

To all the dads out there – Happy Father’s Day!

Most men redirect accountability and self-realization and place blame; on women, their parents, society, the economy. Everyone except going within to acknowledge that it is THEIR responsibility to seek growth and change. A man who goes within, is a man who has potential to lead.

And like Miley Cyrus said:

“I didn’t talk badly about you—I talked about what you did to me. If that makes you look bad, that’s not my problem anymore.”

I don’t want a soft life because I’m lazy ! I want a soft life because I’ve spent most of my life in survival mode ! My nervous system has been in fight or flight since childhood & now I’m choosing peace, softness & stability !

When you hold power and authority, use it with kindness and respect. Never abuse it… because not everyone will endure your arrogance in silence. Treat others exactly like you demand to be treated. Atlanta… I’ll see you soon.
