Michael Moore: I refuse to live in a country like this, and I'm not leaving.

Tonight I watched Capitalism: A Love Story.

Any time I watch a Michael Moore story I am always submerged into deep thought. I'm not really into politics but I am trying to make myself more aware of the decisions other people are making for me. I think that in today's world people need to take initiative about these things. I have learned that waiting for someone else to take of it will leave you worse off than when you started.

Yes, Michael Moore is a little one-sided but I commend him for his bravery! He says/does some outlandish things (i.e. driving an armored truck up to all the big banks and demanding our money back from the bailout!) At least he is giving us another side to the "whole story."

Unfortunately I don't really have much to say about it. I feel that no matter what I say won't really do the movie justice. Everyone should go check it out. It's on Netflix that's how I saw it!

My last thought from watching it is that: All the teachers, police officers, pilots, nurses, farmers, and every other hard working American should go on strike (or maybe just call in sick on the same day)! In just a few hours I bet America would shut down. These are the people that run America. We could survive if all the CEOs of these large companies decided to not show up!

    Moore is a great filmmaker even though he can be bias at some points.

Guess who's back?!

Remember when I said that this blog was going to be a space where I discussed and highlighted my PhD journey? Now, remember when that didn't happen? Getting a doctorate is HARD, y'all. And, you may being saying, "duh, girl! We know!" but this journey was one of the most difficult journeys I have ever been on and because of that fact, I didn't have or make the time to update this blog. It simply wasn't a priority and I was trying to stay afloat for the past four years. So, let's recap a few things. I proposed my dissertation on October 5, 2019, started collecting data in January, defended my dissertation on April 19, 2019, and graduated on May 2, 2019!! So, now that all of the milestones have been mentioned, and I have more time to dedicate to other types of writing, I'm going to highlight my journey retrospectively. Sit back and get ready to hear all of the academic tea!

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Elena I Choose You...well not just you, also somebody else, but mostly you.

When I started my PhD journey, I was under the impression that I was some Golden Child chosen by my advisor to be her one true protege. That she had waited years upon years for me, and that once we communicated in was written in stone that I would be her student. That her and I were going to be handing out proverbial academic cuss outs to the sport management world about how they were systematically leaving Black women out. That's not exactly what happened, during the week of orientation, I found out that my advisor had brought on another student. I...was hurt. I felt like I wasn't enough. I...felt inadequate.  Inadequate : in·ad·e·quate /inˈadikwət/ adj : not adequate : insufficient : lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose. That feeling of inadequacy, those thoughts, they stayed with me throughout the entire program; exacerbating feelings of inadequacy that were already there.  Why was I not enough?  Why did she need someone e...
