M.A.I. Monday Motivation: “Despite A Loss, There’s Always A Silver Lining!”

Greetings and Good Evening! I want to begin by saying recently, it seems, there's been significant loss, discord, and people dealing with so much. I just want to send a word of encouragement and prayer of support to you all. Besides the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, we also lost, Lead News Anchor for CNN, Bernard Shaw and R&B Singer, Jesse Powell. With that said, I was particularly shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of brilliant funny man, David Arnold two weeks ag

Today, TELL YOURSELF, IT'S M.A.I. DAY OF RELAXATION!

Greetings and Good Morning Everyone! I'm so excited to be back! I've missed writing my weekly blog posts, but the truth of the matter is that I needed a break. There are many times in our lives when we must be bold enough, brave enough, and willing to just step away from what we are doing. Even if it means that you need to step away from your passion. It's ok. So much has happened since I last wrote a blog post, "Juneteenth" has become an official Federal Holiday, the Coronav

"REVIVING M.A.I. HEALTH & BODY POST COVID!"

Greetings and Good Monday Morning Everyone, It's been a little while since I've had a worthy message for you all. I've had some time to reset and rejuvenate, something we all could use every now and then. I'm unapologetic about taking time for myself, especially when I feel that I need it, and so should you. Now that life is slowly but surely returning to some sense of normalcy, I've realized how much I've unknowingly allowed this pandemic to take a toll on my life and body.

"M.A.I." Reliability is my Bond!

Greetings and Good Monday Morning Everyone! I hope that you've had an amazing weekend and ready to get back at it this week. Today, I wanted to discuss the importance of being "reliable". Being someone that people can rely and depend on is important. Recently, I just wanted to take a closer look at this attribute or quality that people use to describe themselves, and I feel there was a time where this went in lockstep with someone's integrity. To lack reliability is considere

The Legacy and hope of a Dreamer: Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Greetings and Good Monday Morning, I hope all is well and that you've had a wonderful relaxing weekend! It's another Monday, but not just any Monday, it is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Day! Every year when this day arrives, I'm usually reflective on comparing things that we've accomplished as a people, and a nation since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s death. Sure, I always think, we've done "X-Y-Z", but we still have a long way to go. This year, I can't help but to think about la

Style Is in Your Heart Not Your Fashion!

Greetings and Good Monday Morning Everyone! Today, I wanted to write about something fun! Happy Monday, everyone! I hope all is well and that you're having an amazing day!

When I think about it, style has nothing to do with what you wear, but has everything to do with the content of you

"Your failures are not failures, they are your lessons"

Greetings and Good Morning Everyone, I hope all is well. I had a thought as I was listening to a "The Karen Hunter Show" on SiriusXM, on Wednesday, 4/29/2020. At the time, she was interviewing a doctor by the name of Dr. Arabia Mollette. Dr. Mollette had an interesting story of her journey to becoming a doctor, but it was in that discussion where they touched on a "failures" where I grabbed a nugget about failures being your lessons. This week, I wanted to take a moment to re

Greetings and Good Evening Everyone! I hope that you all are doing well! Today's topic is something that's been on my mind for quite some time. I've been thinking about with the voting season upon us, and everyone has an opinion about "what should be done", and "whom shall be doing this work." One of the reasons why I enjoy listening to the various hosts of SiriusXM Urban View is that they challenge me to do the work. One of the things that Joe Madison always says is, "what a

Greetings and Good Morning, It's October! The month of autumn, ushers in cozy snuggle weather, warm marshmallow cocoa, greating reading material, and, yes, you guessed it #BreastCancerAwareness. For some reason, this year, I have a vested interest in supporting the fight against breast cancer. Of course, like many of you, I've supported various fundraising events to raise money for Susan G.

Greetings and Good Morning, I hope all is well, and that you're off to a great start this morning. I've been thinking about the state of the world and our political and social climate over the course of the last 4 years, and especially during COVID-19 and quarantine. Last week, during the Presidential Debates I couldn't help but to think about how difficult it is sometimes, to remain positive in the midst of so much negativity. Michelle Obama once said, "we go high when they
