Trayvon Martin and Kwame Richards

March 24, 2012

I have so many people asking me for my opinion on this and it is no coincidence that as my family is living through it's own loss and tragedy this week I am numbed by any occurrences of violence and assault on our children. There is no time when it is right. I already know that the killer can no longer live. I know that with every fiber of being who I am and no " justice system" will override that.

Send your light towards the families suffering loss and towards the children being robbed of their innocence and lives.

They deserve better. Do not let anyone think they can get away with victimizing our children and young black men in particular.

You see an adult give a child a dirty look? Check their asses! You here them say, "those people"... Check their asses.

You find that someone has harmed a child or speaks of intent to? Kick their asses using all the systems and moral code that you have available to you.

For as much as we struggle with duality( good vs bad) I mean that.
These; ours are not children/ youth of a lesser God.

In fact, they were all crafted magnificently and cannot be replicated.
RIP Trayvon Martin and my own Kwame Richards.

Watching my Words

Watching my words Category: Life Hello Precious Ones: This is a replay that is so necessary after a conversation I had today. Every word we utter is tied to an action; a thought stimulated by an action and vice versa. The subconscious coming to surface where things can be seen. In this time when so much is changing and business-minded folks can be drawn against their better judgment and good spirit more easily than any other time, I watch my words and mean each one that I use. " Trust, happiness, compassion ." I use these words only if I can act on them. " Peace, LOVE, Light, Kind Regards "...I use these words because I live them. "LOL" - I do it often. I want you to as well. Don’t just type it. Do it often..It requires action. Otherwise it’s just text ; just words. "P&L"..I have managed them forever in business and now and use them in notes to my personal friends. It means Profit and Loss in business capital management and Peace...

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar" and continues with even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following: " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency, Barack Obama", and of course President Obama. Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana." (*my heart breaks for ...

Finding the Center - Then and Now

Fl ashback 1996: There was so much going on and there always is. I woke up. I felt a racing inside. It was as if the blood inside of me had congealed and taken on race car status. The rush. I asked myself - Is this just coming awake? Or is it that thing called anxiety? Why would I be anxious? I was dutiful, prayerful ( and now still I am) . I was doing this every day. It was law school. One of the best in the nation. Makes me a best too no? Get up, get washed, rub and oil down. Brush and separate. Push up against the mirror. Check my pores. Hot rag. Cold rag. Smooth my brows. Rub the back of my neck. Smile at myself. Check my booty. Rise on my toes. Stretch my body. Dress. Find my keys Grab my 15 pound bag of books I go. Day after day ...I went. One day ... I stopped. Looked at myself. Deeper. From Terence A. Scott's upcoming Stripped Awakened 1997 to Present day No that...
