This post is dedicated to one of my favorite cities in the world. I love Paris and have been almost a dozen times. It is safe to say if you need a tour guide I am your guy. There is an unbelievable history in Paris and there are so many places to see and visit. Most of all I like to take pictures of the people and doing street photography there. It is an amazing […]

Another year. Another Halloween is in the books. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the colors and Halloween is the best holiday. Don’t @ me. I grew up always dressing up in costumes and trick or treating in Atlanta. I’m also a horror movie junkie. I watched tons of movies with my cousins growing up. Renting horror movies at Blockbuster every Friday was a tradition. My cousin has attended Universal Studios […]

When I lived in Bangkok a creator friend of mine MinorityNomad wanted to use my luxury condo for his vlog. Here is that video. Now, THIS is what’s considered a “luxury” condo. And this would be an entry-level into that category. While the term luxury is subjective, the price point for space and location are not. Check the link below for more information on this property.

You’re probably asking where the heck is Kanchanaburi. Kanchanaburi is a town in west Thailand located about 3 hours from Bangkok. A friend and I traveled down to the River Kwai for a weekend getaway and we decided to spend a few hours here. We made the most of our time here but Kanchanaburi is definitely worth a visit. The town is known for its Death Railway Bridge that was built during WWII. The bridge […]

This post is for any black person going to work still and their employer and co-workers expect you to act like everything is normal. We are in the middle of a pandemic that is affecting black people more, we have witnessed Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, Breonna Taylor has been murdered by cops without being charged, George Floyd was lynched on video, Rayshard Brooks was gunned down and the list goes on. Now they tell us blacks […]

Recall that blacks had to sit in the back of the bus and if a white person boarded the bus and they were the only black in a seat then the law was that they had to give up their seat to the white person. We as consumers have power. Never forget why the Montgomery Bus Boycott was successful. Blacks accounted for approximately 40,000 bus riders which was 75% of the city’s bus riders. They wanted black drivers, segregation laws and a first-come, first-seat policy. They made sacrifices to sustain the boycott. They […]

Black people make up 13.4% of the US population, but only 3.3% of all US corporate executive or senior leadership roles were held by Blacks in 2018. Data taken from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Only FOUR, less than 1%, of the current Fortune 500 CEOs are Black and ZERO are women. Corporate American has been failing black America for centuries. This is a form of systemic racism. There are talented non-white men that […]

Systemic racism runs deep. Especially in corporate America where they can use something as simple as black hairstyles to discriminate against us. The year was 2006 and I was about to graduate college. I was forced to make a decision. Cut my afro that I had been growing for 4 years in order to conform to white society norms or risk not getting hired out of college. I chose to cut my hair. This was […]

Something has been bothering me since George Floyd’s murder. What made this murder enough for white people to finally protest? Blacks have been telling you about racism in the US forever. There is this fantasy that since slavery is over and on paper, we are equal and that everything has been fine. Stop complaining. You see the statistics and you have even seen the videos but we always face the same questions. What did the victim […]

What does defunding the police mean? It doesn’t mean abolishing the police. It simply means moving money from the police and putting into other things that are for citizens wellness. We not only need more body cameras, but we need laws for officers that deliberately turn off their cameras. What are they trying to hide? Officers should be forced to intervene when they see officers cross the line or they themselves are complicit. We need […]
