The black community in the U.S
I know this is a conversation that has constantly been talked about, but it is so heartbreaking that discrimination in America is still a very big thing. The black community in America is facing so much, and every day you sign into your social media account, there’s always a story. The other day in TikTok, […]
What’s so great about London. And not. – Black Cabs
Black Cabs easily make my list of London’s Seven Wonders. Black cabs are everywhere to be found. They are fast. They are highly comfortable. And of course, the drivers are dazzlingly knowledgeable. I do love the moment I step into the back of the cab effortlessly, keeping nearly horizontal as if into a horse carriage. […]
How Social Media Can Ruin Your Motherhood Experience
I didn’t want to share my bump photos on social media, partly because I knew my mother’s distant relatives followed me (and everyone knew I wasn’t married), but I remember feeling remote and lonely every time I saw boisterous photos of mothers holding their baby bumps high with pride, I felt sorry for myself. I […]

California Storm Chasing – Mendocino Style
Almost every year in January, my wife and I spend a long weekend at the Heritage House, on the coast just south of Mendocino California. This is a rugged section of the northern California coast with lots of cliffs, caves, and small beaches in the coves. We ‘discovered’ the Heritage House about 15 years ago. […]
How do we get more black coaches in Pro Sports
It does not have to take you years or centuries to notice this because it is a common occurrence. Take a minute this weekend to watch the National Football League. The most likely observation is the presence of a few black players led by a white coach. The assistant manager is also likely to be […]

So back in 2021, the tabloids had a field day when Meghan Markle and Harry (prince of Wales) did an interview with Oprah Winfrey and opened up about how racist the royal family is. She has had a difficult time since joining the family because of the bias she was usually subjected to due to […]

People Do Not Change
First, let me say that this is an exaggeration. People change all the time. The problem is that very often they do not change the way you want them to. Missing this point can lead to spending time with, even marrying, the wrong people. If your boyfriend is rude and it bothers you a lot, […]
Limitations to Sports Development
You will agree with me that there has been a massive development of various types of sports. Exposure, technology, advanced and intensive research, and, most importantly, opportunities to participate have all contributed to this.

“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery?” More Like an III-Fated Whodunnit Without the Who!
I understand what Rian Johnson was trying to do and that was try my patience for caring! First, don’t start the movie by creeping me out with a Zoom call featuring the late Angela Landsbury and the later Stephen Sondheim. I know the film was in the can before their demise but really? The film […]
How did they do it before the suitcase got invented!? “To what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?” great innovations of all times in travel
