FreshXpress

I get a bizillion requests to write, collab, brand, market, (insert verb here) ideas on a weekly basis. Saying yes to the opportunity to be a part of the FreshXpress team was a no brainer.

Officially launching January 21st, FreshXpress will be THE premier interactive voice of the young African American. It is our mission to provide fresh thought, fresh perspectives, and fresh debate on issues relevant to the African American community.

The site will cover everything from politics to business to sports to relationships. There will also be a section for moderated debate.

Stay tuned.

Random Rant

To break up the monotony I decided to let off a little steam.....


I'm generally a pretty accessible person. If you speak to me, I will speak back. I will hold a conversation with just about anyone on just about any topic. I'm starting to think that maybe this just isn't a good idea.... My overall experience is that most people suck. In addition to being boring, dull, and one-dimensional, they seem to be overwhelmingly dishonest and underhanded.

Maybe I'm just going through some things. Maybe this feeling will pass. We shall see.

Tis The Season

I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday, whether you celebrate the Christmas holiday or not.

As I get older, it is more difficult for me to get into the holiday spirit. The only thing that makes me feel merry and jolly is listening to the 8 Days of Christmas cd by Destiny's Child. Of course my opinion is biased, but this is my favorite contemporary Christmas cd. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out. It originally came out in 2001 but it's still worth checking for.

All I Want For Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching and the older I get the more I realize that Christmas is not about me at all. In fact, there really wasn't anything on my Christmas list this year.

As a kid, I used to ask for EVERYTHING for Christmas. One year, I asked for virtual reality....I was watching the news (yes, I watched the news growing up) and they were talking about this new invention that would create different experiences when you were hooked up to the machine. My poor mom went to every toy store in the city until some salesperson told her that virtual reality was more of experience than an actual toy. hahaha

Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that asked for ridiculous gifts for Christmas....am I?

Race Exhibit

Today I went to the Cleveland Museum of History with my parents. There was this exhibit called RACE that was pretty dope. If you're in the Greater Cleveland area, you should check it out.

I don't remember what this was for but it was a pretty nice sketch.

So basically we're all black.... and my President is too :-)

These shirts describe how the U.S. Census would categorize these people in the given year.

Everybody move to the back of the bus.
