    Kobe Bryant: Even in Death He’s Schooling Us All

    January 27, 2020 / No Comments

    Laptop in hand. TV off. I was in the throws of a website redesign when my 17 years old texted me from work. Not once did I consider Kobe, last name…Bryant! You see, we’ve been dealing with tragedy for weeks/months, so I was bracing myself to hear about another teenager gone too soon. Thankfully, it wasn’t. But this somehow seems worse. I woke up today, and the headlines are the same! “Kobe Bryant, daughter and seven others killed in helicopter crash.” The basketball savant and one of the deadliest assassins, appropriately named “The Black Mamba,” is, in fact, gone! This guy who mesmerized us for two decades with his jab,…

    Wilson native, Sheriff Clee Atkinson Jr, was destined for a life of service from a very young age. As the third of six boys, raised by his paternal grandparents; God, service and hard work were the cornerstones of his upbringing.

    Michael Bonner: The Children’s Champ

    August 2, 2017 / 9 Comments
    Michael Bonner

    “Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” ~Rita Pierson Show me a great teacher and I’ll show you someone who has the capacity to change lives! That’s the power the truly great teachers possess. Unassuming yet unwavering in their desire to leave an imprint on each child that crosses the threshold of their classroom. One such example is Michael Bonner, a 2nd grade teacher at South Greenville Elementary, who’s viral video landed him an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Over the past four years, Bonner has been molding…

    What Girls Trip Did for Women, Hollywood and Travel

    July 27, 2017 / 2 Comments
    Girls Trip the movie

    The consistency of Regina Hall, the versatility of Jada Pinkett-Smith, the legend that is Queen Latifah and the emergence of Tiffany Haddish just turned Hollywood on it’s ear this past weekend with the release of the hilariously funny film Girls Trip. These four women created the kinda #BlackGirlMagic via the big screen that will keep droves of women (not just African American women) flocking to the theater for weeks to come. It was the kinda film that will have Tinseltown reimaging the power of African American box office appeal, travel agencies buzzing, long lost friends reconnecting and Essence Fest at capacity come 2018. The genius that was Girls Trip doesn’t…

    The Color of Ingenuity Spotlights Lupita Nyong’o

    Color of Ingenuity

    Scrolling through social media today, I ran across a wonderful display of beauty wrapped in melanin, Ms. Lupita Nyong’o. While her beauty was captivating, it was her words from a few years ago that kept ringing in my head. Hollywood crowned her a star for her riveting portrayal of Patsey in Steve McQueen’s critically acclaimed “12 Years a Slave.” Subsequently, on Oscar Sunday 2014, the world applauded as Nyong’o received Hollywood’s highest honor with her win as Best Supporting Actress. Just over three years later and the world is still singing her praises. Nyong’o has been the talk of Hollywood for everything from her flawless skin and striking beauty to…

    #BlackExcellence: Salute to Colin Kaepernick

    September 2, 2016 / No Comments
    Colin Kaepernick

    Whether you agree with Kaepernick’s actions or not, he has caused a dialogue that was a whisper after the Espy’s address by Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, Chris Paul and spearheaded by Carmelo Anthony to become a loud roar. The question about what role celebrities and athletes should play when it comes to social issues, injustices and even politics can be argued back and forth for centuries to come and there will likely never be a defining consensus. I personally believe that each of us has a responsibility to stand against injustice. We all have a voice that when used can impact someone no matter how big or small our platform.…
