It's Black History Month!!!!!

So it's black history month and everyone is posting quotes from African Americans who have paved the way. But my spirit is baffled and I ask myself, "In what ways are we making history today?"

If you stare too long you may think that we're really passionate about "Black History Month" and celebrating one another. I challenge you to stick around until March or maybe even 9pm tonight.

We will go back to degrading our women, hating one another, seeking attention in all the wrong ways, and even giving up our freedom for a simple bowl of soup. Not soup, but a like or comment on social media. Or maybe a pair of Jordan's, rent money, or a Michael Kors bags..

The question is raised again, "In what ways are you making history?" 

You see we've been deceived into believing that in order to make history or be significant you must be a "celebrity" and somehow be seen by some big huge audience. 

But Dr. King never once said because he had an audience he then had a dream. 
It was because he had a dream that he then had a following and made history. 

Again I ask, "In what ways are you making history?" 

So many of us today struggle with our identity and since we do we often times lack the vision to dream. 

This month and forever more lets always celebrate and honor those that came before us. 

But lets go a step further and begin to dream dreams of our own. We can't do that until we start to see the value in I ME YOU WE and US and most importantly GOD. 

Often times I dread to enjoy holidays and awareness months because the passion always seems to fade away. 

Remember, 

Making history is NEVER about being a celebrity or making a headline. It's always about making history on the hearts of the  people you know. 

So celebrate our history but begin to start making history of your own that can one day be celebrated. 

Love you guys!!! 

King James Version (KJV)

Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

Human Trafficking Awareness Month "A Survivor shares her story"

I had my first pimp at the age of 21. When people hear pimp they see a guy in a pimped out suite wearing gators and driving an old school Cadillac. LOL I have to laugh. Maybe in the old days but I’m talking about 21 st  century pimps. They rock true religion, Gucci, Louie, Prada, and the list goes on. They live in golf courses communities, beach front homes, middle class neighborhoods, and all. I’ve met pimps who own their own recording label, travel with goons and an entourage, and even had a training for the newbies. I’ve seen pimps be called boyfriends and husbands instead of pimp to please the woman. Then I get the question “how could you fall for a pimp?” Before I answer the question I need you to be willing to be open minded. Keep in mind this is my story my life my walk and the experience I had. I’m not sharing this to be justified or to be liked or felt sorry for. I’m justified through Christ and that’s all I need. I will try my best to be as transparent and honest ...

#EndItNow Men, you want to know how you can end slavery? Particularly sex trafficking?  Learn to value and respect the women and girls in your life.  If you don't a pimp will.  I was sexually exploited by a pimp at the age of 21... Sometimes people find it surprising but I don't.  Contrary to what you may read about pimps or traffickers my first pimp was actually really nice. Well, in the beginning.  By the age of 21 I had met many different men in my life from personal relations, at the job, church, and etc... My pimp was the first guy that actually listened to me and seemed to value me as an individual instead of a commodity or just a piece of a** like most of the other guys I encountered. He actually seemed to care! How ironic does that sound because he would end up being the one who in return sexually exploits me....... When he started changing and becoming like the men in my life I just put it in my mind that ALL men were like t...

What's Your Valley?

The sermon today at church was entitled "walking in the valley" and the scripture was  Psalm 23:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. I knew the Lord was speaking right to me. But what's your valley? What's your struggle right now that you just can't seem to get past? Is it school, a relationship, job, a bad habit you can't break or maybe your working toward entrepreneurship. Maybe you're single but feel that your ready for a relationship and God hasn't answered your prayers just yet. Maybe you feel a bit discouraged or think God has forgotten about u. Maybe you have slipped away from God and desire to come back to him but feel he won't listen or maybe you feel your too far to even know God. Today I want to relay a message to you. The devil is a big fat LIAR and God is in your midst even in your darkest ...
