When You See Me

What do you see?
What do you perceive?
When you look at me?
Is it confidence or conceit?
Don’t get it twisted!
I’ve been gifted
With this radiance
With this glow
So when you see me
I’m just lettin’ it show….

When you see me
I’ma let my light shine
‘Cause you just don’t know
What I had to do
Just to make it through
And the seeds I had to sow
For this smile of mine to grow
For this beauty of mine to show

So when you see me
I’ma be shining
Like a true diamond
Holdin’ my head up
Struttin’ my stuff!

As I was sitting at my desk at work today listening to a new song being performed by one of my favorite Old School Hip-Hop groups called A Tribe Called Quest ( also known as ATCQ), I had a flashback of the 90's; which was a great era for music. Then I got to thinking about other groups in the 90's, such as Goodie Mob , Outkast , The Fugees ,& Jodeci , which then sent me deeper into a Flashback mode. I started asking myself the following questions: Since it appears as though a lot of great music was released in 1998, where were you that year? What were you doing? (One of my favorite Goodie Mob songs - Released in 1998) Oh boy...what did I ask those questions for? Immediately, I had opened "Pandora's Box", if you will; because all types of memories started flowing through my head, but the affect wasn't as strong as it used to be. One memory or season in particular had a huge impact on my life, which was my time as a college student at U.S.L. (Univers...

Be Prepared!

Good morning y'all. I was sitting here listening to a YouTuber's commentary about Trump supporters & David Duke & how Trump is firing up White Nationalists, and when the guy said: "All I'm saying is...Be Prepared, because things are going to get worse after this election"....I immediately thought about this old Lion King song, and how fitting it is to things going on right now. It may seem silly or simple of me to use a cartoon for something so serious, but I really believe a lot of reality is hidden subliminally in movies. Click HERE for the Lion King song titled "Be Prepared", and pay attention to how Skar is planning to overtake the whole kingdom & how his followers are marching the same way Hitler's troops were marching in. This stuff is not a coincidence! They are sending subliminal messages! Looking at how Donald Trump wants to "Make America Great Again" & David Duke is a known Grand Wizard of the Klan & suppor...

Effects of Repetitive Racial Injustice in America Amongst Black People

     With everything going on in our country lately, I truly believe that many of my Sisters and Brothers are dealing with PTSD , Paranoia , or have become casualties of war . I'm going to break down what I mean by focusing on one at a time, providing examples. I'll first start by explaining what all 3 of these ailments are, and NO I do not believe they are mental illnesses. I believe they are consequences or effects of some sort of traumatic incident or event.      According to the American Psychological Association , PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is an anxiety problem that develops in some people after extremely traumatic events, such as combat, crime, an accident, or natural disaster. Visit the website for the behavior or symptoms of people with PTSD, and you will see how some of it matches the behavior or fear that many Black people have developed from being stopped by the police.      Based on the American Psycholo...
