The Death of Chadwick Boseman
Warning: Graphic images ie blood, damaged skin , open wounds, hospital setting Hearing about Chadwick Boseman's death has been a lot for the black community and for all who knew his impactful work both on and off-screen. His death was not only unanticipated by the whole world but the nature in which he passed let us know that he gave a lot more of himself than we could ever hope to deserve.

What are your first thoughts when you wake up? Are they frantic, measured? Perhaps, the first thoughts go to family in the home, their whereabouts, did Eric make it to school…What are YOUR first thoughts, as someone not living with a silent illness?

I Don’t Want Your Compliments: A Chef (Woman) Who Wants More Than That
Often, when I think of my partner and I, I note our differences. He grew up moving from place to place with a military family. His parents divorced when he was in his childhood years and he settled in California and eventually Nevada (yes, in Las Vegas) to settle. As he grew up, he told me started off as the sensitive nerd, similar to myself. We both know the nerd doesn’t see much action and unlike me he worked hard to change that; by changing the sensitive attitude and treating girls differently. In essence, they became less like people and more like status markers that solidified his step away from “sensitive”. He made sure to relate to them that everything was temporary and that their time together was strictly for enjoyment purposes only.
