As a writer, coffee lover, Black man, and Starbucks lover, I felt it important to talk about the big thing that happened this past weekend. Then I switch gears and complain about going to the eye doctor. It's been a weird day.

I messed up with uploads this weekend AGAIN! I'll give you a brief update on why and what to expect soon.

How does one go from extreme trauma as a youngster to thriving as an adult? I have a chat with Lawayne Childrey about his book, 'Peeling Back the Layers: A Story of Trauma, Grace, and Triumph', which tells us all about his journey.

I express the need to sometimes put away social media and focus on yourself as opposed to what other are doing and saying. I also discuss this theory about an upcoming video game and how amazing of a marketing feat it would be if true.

I talk about my latest recording of LGBTr with Ryan Douglass and some of the interesting points he brought up. Also, I marvel at how Twitter is getting me to listen to more rap music.

The struggle to work on my novel continues. Plus, I talk about the strange new pics from the set of the Teen Titans movie.

Trying to stay on track with edits is extra hard this week.

I've been so excited about going to this conference next month featuring Tony Robbins and Gary Vaynerchuk, but after Tony's statements about the #MeToo movement, I had a decision to make.

The dreaded rewrite I agonized about in the last video actually turned out not to be so bad. See how quickly I got it done, what's coming up for me in the future, and why you should sign up, subscribe, and follow me everywhere in social media.

I talk with La Toya Hankins, author of lesbian fiction titles 'SBF Seeking...' and 'K-RHO: The Sweet Taste of Sisterhood'. We discuss sororities, breaking stereotypes, and how the discovery of her own sexuality led to the creation of her first book.
