Abandonment issues stem from a fear of loneliness, which can be a phobia or a form of anxiety. These issues can affect your relationships and often stem from a childhood loss. Other factors that turn loss into abandonment issues include environmental and medical factors, genetics, and brain chemistry.

I’ve been going through an extremely tough time in my life. Trying to figure out what my life is. Who I am. In these next coming episodes I’m going to take a trip down memory lane, and reflect. So just bare with me, as I bare my soul.

I’ve been fighting COVID 19 for the past 4 days. And this has been one of the hardest battles for me ever. Especially since I’ve been fighting this alone with no help. Ima get through it. Wish me luck and pray for me. Ima need all the strength I can get right now.

Today was a a difficult day for me. I learned a man that saved my life more than once, through his music, has passed away..... today we lost DMX. I tried to give y’all a chronological order of stories but my mind was all over the place. I got emotional thinking about story after story. I barely got through this podcast. People, if you have people in your life dealing with demons, please try your best to try to help them through it. You never know what people are dealing with, or dealt with. Everybody has a story. Love and hug the people that mean the most to you. Appreciate conversations where you can listen and learn...... tomorrow truly isn’t promised.

In this episode I have a conversation with my cousin Laie Holloway. He’s a dope photographer, dope creative mind with some amazing stories to tell. Make sure you follow him on his social media pages to follow up on his new projects @thelhway. More content coming soon!

In this quickcast, I wanted to tell a story about what I seen at Smiths Grocery Store. The scene truly broke my heart. You don’t have to put on a facade to be accepted by people. Always be yourself no matter what........

The title quote comes from the prolific and monumental Chuck D! In this episode we’re going to further discuss the sneaker head business. Me being a sneaker head, I find it very funny and ironic that the Vice President of Nike had a child reselling shoes. Knowing how toxic resellers are to the sneaker head community, we’re going to have that conversation and I’m going to give examples of what I mean. For those of you who are new to the sneaker head culture and this podcast I want to give you a warm welcome! I thank each and everyone of you that has hit play/played this podcast. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let’s get into it! ONLY ON WAY OF THE FAT DRAGON PODCAST!

The group gathered on Saturday, Feb. 20, at the old Audubon Ballroom – since renamed The Shabazz Center – with lawyers Ray Hamlin and Paul Napoli and Reggie Wood, whose relative, NYPD Officer Ray Wood, allegedly confessed in a deathbed declaration letter. In this episode we talk about all of that and life and legacy of Malcolm x.
