The Day Everything Changed
I missed the last bus on purpose. Not because I wanted to be stranded, but because I couldn’t face going home. That day had been one long unraveling—work mistakes, a call from my sister about our mother’s health, the kind of exhaustion that lives in your bones. The bus stop bench was cold, the sky bruised with storm clouds, and I just… stayed. Let the schedule pass. Let the world move on without me.

The Black Panther is bigger than one man
Author’s Note: Recent online speculation about the future of the Black Panther prompted a widespread debate over recasting, legacy, and respect for Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal. This essay expands on a prediction I shared publicly, arguing that the most faithful continuation of the character lies not in replacement, but in succession–specifically through introducing T’Challa’s son and heir.

My best friend and I huddled in her basement, sharing a bag of chips, eyes glued to the TV as women in glitter and lace walked like they owned the air itself. They were radiant, powerful, untouchable. One wore wings so wide they brushed the stage lights; another smiled like she held the secret to happiness itself.

The Boy in the Rain
I didn’t go for the game. I went for my nephew. He’s twelve, wears a faded jersey two sizes too big, and talks about football like it’s scripture. “It’s not just running and tackling, Uncle,” he’d said, eyes wide. “It’s about heart. About who shows up when no one’s watching.”

Why Marvel Studios Should Embrace Canon MCU Novels
For over fifteen years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been the gold standard for shared cinematic storytelling. What began as a risky experiment with Iron Man (2008) grew into a sprawling, interconnected franchise that redefined what blockbuster filmmaking could be. But as the MCU continues to grow–across films, Disney+ series, specials, and now the multiverse–it faces a challenge that can’t be solved with bigger budgets or more content alone:
