UNITED STATES—Recently I attending a wedding and it was amazing. I had this level of glee that I never expected. I think in my entire lifetime I’ve only attended three weddings. Yeah, that is quite a small number if you ask me, but a wedding makes one think about love, the future and life in general. When it comes to...

UNITED STATES—Family is a tricky thing to say the least. I’d like to think I have a big family, both on my mother’s side, as well as my father’s side.

I seriously cannot remember the last time I literally...

UNITED STATES—Monday night my world was rocked to the core when I saw the video of the chaos that was erupting in Baltimore, Maryland. It sickened me to the core, but as scary as it sounds I feared this would happen. I recently wrote a column about “Police Corruption” addressing the issue of the number of unarmed African-Americans who...

UNITED STATES—Its amazing when you take a moment to reflect back on your life. This weekend I attended my niece’s third birthday party at a place that seems to be the greatest place in the world to children: Chuck E Cheese. Yes, this is a place that I frequented quite a bit as a child, but it wasn’t my...
