If you landed here welcome! Nothing is off the table. I will touch base on the good, bad, ugly and funny. Whether it’s about myself, friends, foes and this thing called Life. For me writing has always been my way of releasing stuff. So now I’m going to try and speak it. So hold tight and enjoy the ride!
Just testing the audio on my iPhone after upgrading the Ferrite app. Just seeing if it plays nice on my podcasting host site. Sometimes I don’t want to pullout my laptop and mic. I’d like to record when and whatever I am.. Just testing, nothing more going on here. K bye!
He was only 19 yrs old, but he was a son and someones father. He’s another black man killed by police for running away. Video proves that but yet police got off saying they were justified and feared for their lives. Read the article and watch or don’t watch the video. Police brutality must stop. We can’t keep sitting by silently talking about what needs to be done. # enoughisenough https://apple.news/A8B5QX8H6SPev2npLeIcptw...
So I googled Five Guys, because I wanted to know if it was founded by five guys and it actually was. Founded in 1986 ( Arlington VA ) by a husband & wife who had 4 sons at the time. So it was initially run by dad and his 4 sons ( Five Guys ). Two years later they had a fifth son. It’s run by the sons and the parents are still involved. Gotta love a thriving family business. So drop down and get your google on. Lol!
Here’s an update on Tyre Nichols and a timeline on Irvo Otienos murder. If you’re still living under a crater I’ll include two links regarding their murders at the hands of cops. Police brutality is still prevalent people. Silence will not change what’s happening.

I’m not talking about your personal life/self. I’m talking about things, material or otherwise. Places to travel and where to stay. I’m talking about life history, good, bad & ugly. Why as people do we keep things to ourselves? What are you gaining from that place if selfishness? We should all still want to learn, explore and look fashionable while doing so. K bye!
Just shooting the shit in today’s episode. Highlighting some of what went in this weekend. Most is convos with my bff which is something we do almost every weekend. It’s gurl talk on steroids. Lol! K bye!
Y’all still going to vilify a man who was physically assaulted on live television for all to see? Where’s the outrage for the assault? There isn’t any because y’all still saying he deserved to be SLAPPED to this day. Black people can assault each other and look the other way. It’s not your business unless that assault was from a non black person then you want justice. Stop saying you want equal opportunities and pay. Stop saying you want justice for all, not for some. Stop acting like your shit ...
No matter how long it takes. The DOJ released a scathing report regarding the Louisville Metro police department and killing of Breonna Taylor. To hear how they treat black people is appalling, but we know this already. Y’all still need to catch up. Also in todays news is the release of 20 hrs of audio & video in the Tyre Nichols murder.

Lately I’ve been using Twitter for problems or issues I need handled. I don’t have the time or patience for sitting on the phone holding for minutes to hours. Twitter has resolved many problems with a quick and to the point message sent to the corporations DM. I’ll take a win however I can get it. K bye!
not really. We shouldn’t regulate ourselves to a month. This needs to be spoken and posted 365 days a year. There’s a lot of history out here and it’s sad we as a people don’t speak in it. We’re stuck on appearance, clothing, music, award shows, etc., but not the stuff we need to focus on. I’ve shared a lot and learned about things I didn’t know. Wake up people, cause it’s not gonna drop in your lap. K bye!
In todays news a school district in NJ is filing a lawsuit against social media. Stating “the platforms fueled students’ addiction and mental health struggles through “manipulative” business practices”. I’ll include the link below, because there’s so much more I could literally get into. https://newjerseymonitor.com/2023/02/22/n-j-legislators-propose-punishing-social-media-companies-for-kids-online-addiction/...
and I’m not ready. Don’t come for me, cause I’ll fight you. Lol! I’m still a diehard fan since the beginning. Watched her walk thru the doors of Seattle Grace and tonight she’ll walk out Grey Sloan Memorial. Jesus take the wheel cause I’m not ready. I was ready last season, but not tonight. It’s time, way time, but hell she did that character pride. Farewell Meredith Grey…thanks for so many memories!
By definition it’s beyond age 65, but by discounts it’s 62. Lol! Look imma get my discount where I can. Museums, movie theaters, transportation ( not all ), etc. Anywho, it served me well this weekend. Again, if you’re in NYC and have time please check the exhibit Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious. It’s so worth it. K bye! https://www.fotografiska.com/nyc/exhibitions/hip-hop/
let’s goooooo! Sorry this is a day late, but I somehow forgot to upload Friday’s episode. Life I tell you. Anywho, it’s a mosh pit of stuff I’ve been meaning to talk about stored in my phone. I’m sure I’ll comeback to some of them individually. Just wanted to say a little something before my thoughts escape me. K bye! Here’s some links for ya! https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/rihanna-british-vogue-interview https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/17/us/alonzo-bagley-shreveport-police-shoot...
Got my mom an Apple Watch for Christmas and that was the best thing ever. Here’s to her closing those rings! Go ma!
It’s late and I’m tired. Tired from work, but more so tired from all the bad that’s happening in this world. It’s something I don’t like talking about, but I feel I need to whether folks listen or not. So tonight I’m just rambling about a little of this & that for now. K bye!!
Not only is there video there’s also photos taken by one of the five rogue cops. So beating him to death wasn’t enough. One felt he needed to pull out his personal phone and take pics. Oh but that’s not all. He then sent them to five others, one being a female acquaintance. I’ll leave two links below, because it’s just just much to comprehend. K bye! https://apnews.com/article/law-enforcement-tyre-nichols-memphis-3c20513e067d2f55786d8f42cf98b3c6 https://www.npr.org/2023/02/08/1155326646/memphis-...
Keenan Anderson also loss his life at the hands of cops. Just not of the black persuasion as far as I know. This too was a traffic incident. The difference here is he was tased in the back for over 90 seconds. “Two LAPD officers held him down, one with an elbow on his neck, then a knee dug into his back while he was handcuffed, and another cop stood over him with a Taser gun.” You can read the article for the rest…. https://theintercept.com/2023/01/17/keenan-anderson-toxicology-lapd/...
When I say my blood is boiling, it’s boiling. How many officers were there? Why are we just hearing about this white officer from the initial confrontation? The accountability of all for me is now in question. Read for yourself https://apnews.com/article/179a49b0e8b1c6494af2e6408581d47f https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/01/28/tyre-nichols-death-black-police-officers/11136520002/...
Wanted to say thank you for partaking in my podcasting shenanigans. It’s still a learning experience and I’m staying for the ride. Hope you will too! K bye!
I’m not watching Tyre Nichols being beat to death and hearing a news anchor ( who’s white ) say we all need to watch didn’t sit right with me. Being Black we’ve seen it happen way too many times. We know the repercussions. We know all too well what happens to us at the hands of others. Right now I’m angry, sad and hurt. So, right now I’m projecting…just give me that. K bye! https://apple.news/AOZ3OYQbKSKqSvSGjWQPgxQ...
We are hours away from the police bodycam footage release of Tyre Nichols murder. It’s going to happen this evening and the family is asking for CALM. In reality that probably won’t happen, but please prove me wrong. Here’s another article I feel you should read ( link below ). Be safe today..that’s all I can ask! K bye! https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/27/us/tyre-nichols-video-footage-family-officials...
If you don’t know I’ll leave a link to an article from today. Or get your google on. Upon further reading they’re also charged with kidnapping for reasons only those in the know can explain. Bodycam looking like will be released tomorrow. Just read for yourself. K bye! https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/tyre-nichols-memphis-news-1-26-23/h_f95dc7f9883de70475f4d38aa7a0b0c7...
Say Their Names …all of them until you can’t hear your thoughts. Until all you hear is the chaos and continued brutality that continues to happen on a daily. Take a knee….what not y’all. It was never about the flag. It continues to be about this and other injustices. Click the link Read ….. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/5-memphis-police-officers-fired-death-tyre-nichols-traffic-stop/...
I sure did and the responses were surprising. Don’t underestimate men ladies who truly want you in your natural state of being. But again, do what makes you happy and whole. Enjoy this episode, cause yeah I ain’t got no sense. K bye!
Bwahahahaha! No really, but no not really or should I? Just hear me out and don’t pass judgement ( like I’ll care ). Lol! I’m kidding! K bye
I don’t resolutions, planners or set goals. I try to just make changes to better myself. I’m falling back into being my angry self which isn’t a good thing, but it’s what I know. It’s still me against the world but it’s not about to get the best of me. K bye!
Heyyy y’all! It’s me you know that person that started a podcast and still trying to get my footing. Anywho, just me catching y’all up on stuff…you know life. K bye!
Update on me & Covid aka my new bff. Lol! So yeah I caught covid over Christmas. Being I’m boosted my symptoms was like a bad cold. Now it’s just a waiting game of it running its course and me finally testing negative ( hopefully soon ). K bye!
When did we put a monopoly on products others outside of our race can’t buy or promote? Why do we feel the need to get angry because another likes a product we created? Why can’t we as a people have an open dialogue if we feel said others are trying to move in? We have to coexist and with that we need to have conversations and learn. Not everyone is out to hurt or take what we deem as OURS.
