When one can smell the bull...
Have you ever read the sign: Can you spare a buck? God bless you. As I make my way across America to do what is right by generations previous to me, I wonder as I reach out to help my aging parents, who will help me? I am currently a graduate student, a mother, a wife, a daughter, an aunt, a grandmother, and a sister-in-law. After 37 years of practice in child-rearing with 24 1/2 years between oldest and youngest, what do I have to show for it except wrinkles, gray hair, and changing seasons?

The Reasons Why Family Is Important In Life
The most significant and priceless gift that God has given us is our family. It is the first lesson in interpersonal relationships. The word "family" is extremely significant. It entails feeling safe, having someone you can rely on, and sharing your troubles with them. However, it also entails mutual respect and accountability.

Hanging out with friends could actually make you happier than roosting with your family : Here’s why!
It’s shocking but true! For quite a few of us, happiness does not mean spending time with family and finding relevance in unpleasant tasks like chores or caretaking duties. People don't shy in admitting that they usually feel higher sense of well being once they find themselves surrounded by friends and laze around; rather they do when in comforting nearness of their companion or kids.

What Will Smith's Slap did to Black Sons
As a youth justice advocate, I work mainly with young men of color who are trying to claw their way out of the youth detention system. In most cases, their fathers have been one of two types: either completely absent from their lives, or modelling or encouraging of violent behavior. In light of this, I feel like the most important thing I can offer our youth is the consistent and caring mentorship of a fellow man of color. Sadly, in the celebrity world, there haven’t been many truly positive black mentors for these young men, or for myself. Ill Smith was one of the precious few ---- right up until Oscar Night. That's when "Will" became "Ill" to me.

* Things my family taught me*
I was not loved growing up...I was taken care of, but not loved. Growing up I always knew I was different. I knew at a young age that I would never be or live out the expectations my mother had of me. Now with my kids, I am the type of parent I wish I had growing up.
