Racial Profiling Still Exists People
UNITED STATES—I felt the need to talk about this column because of the recent incident involving musician Sza at a visit to the Sephora store in Calabasas, California. This column is a difficult one to say the least, but it’s a conversation that we must have. It seems still in the year 2019, race is still a major issue...
Mental Labor Vs. Physical Labor
UNITED STATES—It has been a question that I’ve debated for years and I get plenty of blow back from people that I know all the time. Is a job that requires mental strength more exhaustive than a job that requires physical strength? It is a very loaded question and to be honest there is no clear-cut right or wrong...
Vacation More Often
UNITED STATES—Summer has arrived, and for many Americans the notion of taking a vacation has kicked into full gear. I always wondered why so many people waited until the summer months to take time off. I think I’ve figured out the answer. What is it? It’s quite, simple, the weather is warm and kids are out of school. Look,...
Ready For Summer
UNITED STATES—In a few short days, summer will officially kick-off in my eyes because Memorial Day and the official start of grill season is underway. Summer brings so many great things and bad things at the same time. For starters, everyone wants to have that beach body in tip top shape. That means you might have been in doors...
Coping With Stress At Work
UNITED STATES—Life, we have our good days and we have our bad days. Last week, I will argue was a very trying week for me to say the least. There are those weeks that just test you, challenge you and make you question rather you are capable of moving forward. I’m safe to admit, I survived, but at the...
Be Thankful For What You Have
UNITED STATES—The older I get the more I realize that the simple things in life matter more than the elaborate or illustrious things we strive to obtain. It takes having a gut punch to the chest to realize that the tiniest things we complain about are nothing compared to some of the struggles that other people in the world...
Curbing That Craving
UNITED STATES—I know I’m not the only one who is guilty of this. You know how you have those situations where you’re not really hungry, but for some reason you cannot resist that temptation to snack. It is almost like having a moment of boredom can cause one to snack when in reality, they don’t even want to snack...
Glued To Social Media And Technology
UNITED STATES—My sister shared something with me that baffled me: my niece is so drawn to her phone that she would be on it all day if it never had to be charged. She was sharing a story about how her daughter was supposed to be sleep as she had school the next morning. Granted, my niece is only...
What Happened To Healthy Debates?
UNITED STATES—I remember in high school I was a member of the debate team and the one thing I learned is that when you debate someone you have to listen to the other side of the argument. You cannot just focus on your argument because there are pros and cons to everything. You might say, well, what does that...
Reasons To Love Free Money
UNITED STATES—Who out there doesn’t like free money? I know I do, how about you? I think most Americans are alike; it seems the quicker that you get money the faster it disappears. When you factor in your monthly expenses between rent/mortgage, lights, gas, water, car payments, cell phone, cable, internet, groceries and anything else, there is very little...
