Black History Month

Today is the first day of Black History Month. Therefore, I wanted to just take a few moment and highlight this month. Although I try to celebrate Black History Month everyday, this month is very special. We as people have to connect the dots for ur generation and the generation of the next.

See when thinking about history, we must not think about old fossil like people or movements of the past. No, what we must think about is history as the ladder that has helped us climb to the positions we are right now. That is not much, don't get me wrong. Black Men are still being killed on camera and broad day-light and nothing is happening.

However, with certain people of the past, we have the access to change many of our positions. Martin Luther King did not die because of his dream. He was killed when he wake up and saw the nightmare that we all live in.

Second, The Great Malcolm X was killed because he saw the world from a urgent prospective. He knew that life would continue the way it has if everyone played safe. If everyone stayed at home, played blind, and acted like injustice was not happening.

Therefore, we must again, not like at Black History as ancient history. Almost everything that our descendants went through, we go through now. Black History Month is a month to reflect on the past, but also make plans as well as take action for the future.

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.

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...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
