I was going to write about New Year’s resolutions but let’s be honest half of you have already fallen off the wagon anyway so there’s no use in wasting time and space here. Anyone who knows me knows that I am critical of racial representation in popular media. I raise a lot of dust anytime […]

I am a 90’s baby…. the epitome of infancy growing up in the 90’s. Im talking about when we did the bounce and not the beyonce Im talking back when we thought the letters TLC were close together in the alphabet chasing waterfalls in our LA Gears and Jellies kicking back in our Nautica and […]

“Brooklyn we did it”.
