Yet, they say things and approach you a way they probably wouldn’t in person. There is a person who I have the utmost respect for a professional and colleague.

Thoughts on American’s Employment Situation

The Pros and Cons of Reading African American Books
I have been indulging in books by African American intellects these past few months, and I must say that these books make me feel really smart yet really dumb. Allow me to explain. I am overly enlightened by learning about my African American history including the survival methods and challenges of being black in America…
