                                                        "300 Men March"


As always I response when we face tragedy, but I also celebrate when we are actively changing the community. Not dissing the media, but I love to find things (Good Things) that spreads the news about Us in a great way. The program and group that I want to highlight is a community organized group called the 300 Men March. I discovered this I guess organized Grass-root group because I follow Mr. Bobby Marvin Holmes on Twitter. The group is a movement of Men and Women in Baltimore, Maryland united to fight against gun violence in Our Communities. On their website they say, that "We are citizens, fed up with current accepted patterns of violence in our community. We exist to fulfill our mission. Our mission is to decrease gun violence."


This group is amazing because, they are taking the community into their own hands. They are not just talking about change, but actively trying to bring positive change. On their website it says they choose a different corner to deliver their message. This is a incredible group that needs to be highlighted and honored. The only other thing I wish is that I was in Baltimore with them right now. As I am writing this post, they are out their spreading the word and bringing about change. They held a meeting at North and Pennsylvannia Ave. from 7-8 Friday or in cause of rain Saturday at 7pm.


In closing, I salute and thank anyone who is brave, courageous, and organized enough to not just wish for change; but actually do something about it. This is a group that deserves a great amount of credit and appreciation.

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
