United Party
I remember watching as Bernie or Bust unfolded in the media. Didn’t they see the possibilities of Trump becoming president. Reality hit and I knew they had to or they would not have weaponized it. When the comments that Hilary was just as bad as Trump began to circulate I felt a cringe. How could they say that when this man has openly admitted to belief in superior genetics, openly talked about sexually assaulting women , disrespected a disabled person, disrespected the US military, refused to rent to black people, has no political experience, and has never read a book in his life. How can we say their the same.…

Harriet The Movie : My Black American GHETTO review
The 1st trailer I saw of Harriet immediately brought me to tears. There are few movies that honor black women and their contribution to American society.

The cringing usually comes from any one under 25 dating a person over 35 with an excess of 15 years between the two. I have dated a person 15 years older then me and I was under the age of 25…

New Years New Me or Maybe Not
New Years , a time to hit the refresh button. There is that beautiful stream of new possibility and an air of optimism swirling around . The itch to recreate a new self and sit all goals on the table with the timeline of 2019 is strong and a bit stressful. Several people are opting out of the social personal experience of goal setting with the rest of us. When I get the chance to ask around about there lack of participation most give me one of these three reasons I set goals all year, there is nothing special about this time. I know they wont last why go through…

The 1st Trailer for My Podcast .
Lets start with YAY it got done. There were some awesome advice and blogs that helped me but I have posted a few things I thought were important and I didn’t find warning or advice making the suggestion. Find a tutorial on how to work your recording software. If there is a tutorial that comes with the software. TAKE ADVANTAGE. Some of you may be laughing right now, thinking ” DUH Nikki “. I myself have a decent relationship with computers. I consider myself more then efficient with computers and a pro with Microsoft and if I can maneuver there then I can anywhere. This is the 1st system I…
