Be Brave: Taking Risks and Embracing Failure
Most of us are afraid of looking stupid, or at least I was for many years. But when we are born we are pretty vulnerable, and that vulnerability never really ended. We put on adult clothes and do adult things, but each of us are still pretty vulnerable. Yet we are still afraid of appearing…

The Injustice of Our Judicial System
I’m endlessly fascinated by the people I observe on buses. I observe more humanity on the bus than I do anywhere else. I sometimes wish corporate America could…just, get up and let a person more deserving have the seat…and I’m speaking metaphorically. The common man is way more ethical than our leaders and our corporations,…

I think the reason we slice bread is so we don’t eat the whole damn loaf at once, which most of us can. How many of us have polished off a French baguette and thought “I could eat another…and where’s the butter?” But none of us would wanna eat a whole loaf of sliced because…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATo8lJNABz4 As a biracial person, I’ve experienced discrimination from all sides—Black, White, and even other mixed individuals. This unique position gives me a sharp understanding of what it feels like to be unfairly targeted, which is why I relate so deeply to Meghan Markle. Her experience navigating relentless public attacks resonates with my own, especially…
