The first time I visited Houston was in 2015. My childhood friend and tour guide repeatedly took me to these fly-in-the-wall joints that served African meals. I was too giddy and excited to be out & about, so I never paid any attention to what was going on -until I saw the third plate of Jollof rice and Goatmeat land in my front- within my first two days of arrival. At that moment, I realized I was getting shortchanged. Why was I not somewhere ordering Mac n Cheese as a side or wrapping my lips around a Taco? Why was I in these dingy spots that reminded me so much of where I had come? I turned to my friend and protested angrily, "Burger Me Please!". From then on, you would think we had a residency at Waffle House and Popeyes -this was way before the chicken sandwich- and boy was I well pleased. "I could eat all the African food I cared for in two weeks." I had thought to myself, "Right now, it's strictly taste of Americana (you could throw some Asian in too!)."

JAILHOUSE BLUES
Modern TV shows have proved to be partial toward yardbirds of the American justice system. A good majority of series blatantly portray the grave injustices suffered by federal or community offenders who get railroaded, either by their own making or by emerging winners in the wrong place, wrong time lotto. Some even being set-up and infringed upon by the so-called "Justice System."

CHILL
'Doing nothing' is an illusion we've been chasing all our lives. For most of us, it all began when the concept of school was introduced. We suddenly realized we couldn't "do nothing" like we once did as babies or toddlers. Now we had to wake up at a set time, not when we wanted. Our mandated urgency at an early hour of the day paved the way for a long list of involuntary tasks. Taking a shower, eating cereal, running after a bus, packing a lunch box, packing a backpack, completing homework.
