Fakes, Frauds & Opportunists
I haven’t been in the urban genre circle for long. But in my short time, I’ve had certain people tell me to be careful, because not everyone in this business is your friend. What’s interesting is that these same people, who I believed had my best interest in mind and had my back, were the […]

The Art of Disguise
Sometimes I think life is one big masquerade. Everyone is playing a different character and acting out their prospective roles. Some have mastered the art of disguise better than others.

Do You Feel Empty?
Are you thirsting for something more? Is there an ache in your soul? A restlessness? A sense of something missing? I have read the Bible and there is much to be gleaned from it, but the one thing that always stands out for me is how Jesus treated women. Like the Samaritan woman at the […]
