Point of View

UNITED STATES—Ok, just as many of us attempted to process the chaos of what transpired in Ferguson, Missouri, another death of an African-American man, Eric Garner at the hands of a white police officer has surfaced. This time in a major city, New York! This is beyond disturbing, because what I suspect to be perhaps an isolated incident has suddenly...

UNITED STATES—I’ve seen a lot of crazy things on television, but nothing compared to what I saw Sunday on the Discovery Channel. For weeks things have surfaced on the internet of a man working on a crusade to be swallowed by one of the largest snakes to mankind, the anaconda. Yes, we’ve seen the film “Anaconda,” which totted the...

BEVERLY HILLS—Secrets were a way of life, a way of survival. I don't think this was my parents' intention, but this was my interpretation of their parenting.

UNITED STATES—In August 2014, an incident in the small town of Ferguson, Missouri sparked outrage across the nation. A young unarmed African-American male was fatally shot by a White officer. Plenty of debate has gone on about this issue of rather the shooting was racially motivated. The St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCullough read the statement from the Grand Jury...

UNITED STATES—President Barack Obama made a decisive move last week when he decided to execute an executive order to address the immigration crisis that has been plaguing America for decades. Let’s just say it’s something that has people split across the board. He even threw a few fighting words to members of Congress by saying, “Well pass a bill.”...

UNITED STATES—Well while Turkey Day is on the top list for many people this holiday season, some might be surprised to discover there are die-hards out there already making plans for the biggest shopping day of the entire year: Black Friday. Some might wonder where that name comes from; while business can be so bleak for a company that...

UNITED STATES—Fame for some odd reason; there are a lot of people in America who are thirsty to have the cameras, the magazines, the radio talking about them.
