Point of View

UNITED STATES—Something that really disturbs me about Americans is our inability at times to do what is right even though we know people are constantly or always watching. Like why do we have to be called out to address bad behavior when we see it? Hmm, this reminds me of a theory we learned in psychology known as the...

UNITED STATES─There is indeed a crisis in our country right now; too many people are trapped with excessive student loan debt. Yes, I am one of those individuals, and it’s sickening to discover that I know people who have been in school in shorter time frames than myself and have more debt than me. It is one thing to...

UNITED STATES─I might get some flack for this, but I’m being completely honest here, that I have saved so much money since the country has gone on a virtual shutdown. While I would be exaggerating things slightly by saying the country has shut down, because in all actuality it hasn’t, but it feels like 80 percent is out of...

UNITED STATES─If you were to ask me a month ago where things stood in America regarding the coronavirus crisis, I would say we were on the right side of things. Ask me that question today, and I feel like we are traveling down a path that is NOT good and I’m worried where things are headed people. Now, I’ve...

UNITED STATES—I have seriously come to the realization that I hate having a cellphone. I understand on a technological advancement it has its perks, but the anxiety and stress that I receive from my cell phone is just too much to handle. We become enamored with the device and the thought of HAVING to check it all the time...

UNITED STATES—I have always known for quite some time what I was put on this planet to do. You might say it is your gift, your passion or the dream job that fulfils you in a way that nothing else does. As a kid, at first I thought I would be a surgeon or pediatrician, then I had lingers...

HOLLYWOOD—Wow, I was just blown away to hear about the news involving the Golden Globes not being aired by NBC for 2022. For as long as I’ve been immersed in the entertainment industry NBC has been a staple for airing the ceremony, but amidst controversy as exposed by the Los Angeles Times with its lack of Black members it...

UNITED STATES—I have not been sleeping well lately, particularly in the past week and I have been trying to pinpoint exactly what has been happening to lead to chaos for me. Well, there is one thing that suddenly changed; my work schedule swapped from midday to afternoon hours to overnight. Yes, so I had to readjust my sleep pattern. For...

UNITED STATES—It is here people. The biggest shopping holiday of the year is upon us, no I’m not talking about Thanksgiving people, I am talking about Black Friday. For the second year in a row, Black Friday is actually transpiring on Black Friday people, the day after Thanksgiving. In years past, especially pre-COVID many retailers had their doors open...

UNITED STATES—So many of us would like to think that technology makes our lives easier, I unfortunately disagree with that assessment and believe that technology actually makes our lives more complicated. How so? You become overly dependent on it. Gosh, I remember the good ole days of writing things on pen and paper because you didn’t have a computer...
