  • Step Up Or Stay In Your Lane
    In this episode, I decided to spend the entire episode reintroducing my voice to the Conversation. Influenced by a recent event witnessed on a popular Social Media Platform, I provide my insight into the larger picture of when to offer help, advice, or encouragement and when to let go and move on.
    Black Renaissance: This week’s BR is a word of encouragement to embrace your “Rebirth”.
    “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14 KJV
