Arrested by Necessity. Top Story - May 2024.
Do you have a favorite place to visit when you're overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you get overwhelmed by your thoughts? I suppose not everyone experiences the paralyzation that occurs when too many decisions creep in. I get knots in my (ample) stomach that twist and turn into cramps. Within minutes, my pulse increases and I force myself to remain calm, but anxiety starts poking at my chest like a toddler attempting to wake his papa for a snack. The cause of my tension is lost by this time, and my focus turns to slowing my breathing, "staying present in the moment," and remembering where I am and why.

From Struggle to Success: Remarkable Stories of African American Brothers. Top Story - October 2023.
Not too long ago in the United States African-American citizens had to ride at the back of the bus, drink at segregated water fountains, and weren't allowed to enter a "whites only restaurant." The Fifteenth Amendment added to the US Constitution gave African-Americans the right to vote. The following passage from the Library of Congress states: "Yet states still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting. Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendants of slaves out of elections. The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves."

Masquerading Masculinity. Top Story - July 2023.
Where to begin? I never expected to write an article like this. However, I just listened to the sixth episode of Behind the Bastards on Andrew Tate. It is an unfortunate reality of the world that “men” like him exist in the world. And will continue to pop up from time to time until men learn to deal with their issues in a healthy way. So, how do you do this? How does one become a man?
