First Impressions of El Salvador
We weren’t originally even planning to go to El Salvador! We had popped it aside in our minds into the category of somewhat scary/sketchy places to avoid. That was until we met people who’d been, and couldn’t stop talking about how lovely a place it was and how safe they felt there.

Remember
The air hangs hot and humid, reaching nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Sweat trickles beneath your clothing as you move along the pathways. Whispers of long silenced echoes lift in the occasional breeze, surrounding you with an eerie sense of something other worldly, foreboding and long lost. Dust particles stir to settle in your lungs with each breath and step you take beneath the intertwined tree limbs hanging just overhead; they provide relief - momentary shelter from the sun’s rays. Each movement, each stir of dust leads you one step closer to whatever beckons. Not knowing exactly what you will find ahead, you still obey the summons. It's that for which you traveled one hundred miles inland.

What If Superman was Black?
I mean I was rewatching black lightning again after just recently finishing the show Smallville and as much as the plot – AKA Tom Welling caught my eye - *laughs*, there was an interview in the news in the first episode of black lightning where the interviewer asked a question as to why black heroes are a menace rather than accepted immediately as heroes. Then it got me thinking of how the black heroes in DC and Marvel are not very many.
