soo about 106 & Park

I have tried to stay away from BET and shows like 106 & Park. I love my people and I hate that the channel dedicated to us barely does anything to uplift us. It pains my soul...like literally. Why is that we can't do anything to make ourselves look better. There are so many African American people doing uplifting and positive things in this country and the channel dedicated to African Americans does nothing to show that. While I understand that 106 is supposed to be about the music I just think that it could be done with so much more class and taste.

Let's take for example Wale. Everyone knows how I feel about this man (I LOVE HIM!) So of course when this past Wednesday when I happened to catch 106 and saw that Wale's Guilty Pleasure (No Hands) was on the countdown I was ecstatic. BUT I started thinking, "Why is it this song that makes the countdown?" Wale is an AMAZING lyricists and his songs that highlight that get no play. I mean Diary which is an amazing song never really got attention. I mean the song and video told a story. Don't get me wrong No Hands gets me hype when I listen to that mixtape! I just think people are overlooking his artistry.

I just think that there is so much more that BET could do to for our community. I just think people are to complacent with where things are and nobody is pushing for more. But I guess that makes sense seeing that we handed the company over to "The Man." And no I'm not a conspiracy theorists but if you add The Man to anything I just think it adds something to it!

The point is I just want to see more uplifting BET!

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

RIP

Yesterday, I found that my Aunt Lou (my grandmother's sister) passed. This is my first time dealing with the of someone so close to me. When my sisters and I spent summers in Detroit we spent a majority of our time with her. It has been hard for me to deal with mostly because my grandmother has lost both of her younger sisters. The only thing I can think of is that my grandmother being the oldest is going to be gone soon as well.
