Text of the page (random words):
watched the chi since the first season and i have been more than pleased with the creative plot twist presented by director and creator lena waithe this showtime american drama about the lives of black people living on the southside of chicago has provided some of the most entertaining and riveting storylines that i have ever viewed and experienced in television character development since the first season has been both refreshing and true to life for example the character jada yolonda ross and her progressions as a single mom navigating dating life the pain of loss and nearly loss of life as a cancer survivor finally reaches a redemptive point when she rekindles her relationship with high school love and son s father darnell rolando boyce photo source showtime darnell s transformation as a black man from the mannish boy that blues legend muddy waters screamed about to a man father and possible loyal husband is a rare sighting in television and film why is that important arguably without looking at the chi ratings based on race gender etc it is safe to say that a majority of the viewership reflect the characters on the show black people some of those black viewers are likely between the ages of 18 33 it is important for a change that those viewers and others see black characters in all of their imperfections develop or change into people who make better life decisions in other words they are redeemable characters this is important in a society that views many black boys and men as oversexed unredeemable and completely lost this counternarrative presented by waithe and her team of writers demonstrates that even though characters like darnell as well as his son emmett jacob latimore started as flawed disloyal men they were more than capable of changing for the better like anyone they are capable of becoming loving fathers and husbands if they are given a chance to develop and make a change for the better bravo to the cast and crew of the chi you are creating television that is worth watching and this is definitely a welcomed change peace at 8 14 2022 08 58 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels african

2020 showing my face self reflection and thoughts on writing hello friends i m just showing my face while i am still in my birthday month of august go leos like many i do an assessment of my life on my birthday i take stock and think about the necessary changes for myself for me it s about getting better and doing better this year was no different while i have been sitting at home during this pandemic i am still finishing up my doctoral studies i have been doing my coursework since 2018 with a focus on critical pedagogy and i will soon start my thesis work so i am moving forward but i have been thinking more about creative writing currently most of my writing is academic but i long to sit and write creatively i crave it so much that i throw some of that creativity into my academic writing so my goal this year is to make more of an effort to publish poetry and maybe some short stories we ll see i have made progress in other areas of my life this year so maybe it is a sign of things to come again we will see well take care of yourself and continue to stay safe peace stephen at 8 21 2020 01 16 00 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

sort of record my ideas and it has proven true i started with just my thoughts for a particular day soon it morphed into a way to write and share my photography then it morphed into a way to share my poetry and prose that led to me meeting other writers not only here in the united states but writers and bloggers from across the globe this blog has taken me from new york city poetry events to celebrations of african descendant culture in uruguay south america it has been a blessing so today i celebrate this platform and i hope to celebrate it for many more years to come so much has changed

poetry location montgomery village md usa wednesday june 12 2019 taraji p henson toni morrison and mental healthcare for african americans mental health this has been on my heart for many years concerning americans in general but it is especially crucial in the african american community because some of us have accepted the myth that it does not affect us news flash it has always affected us when examining it from a historical perspective there are countless narratives from the antebellum era here in america of african americans exceeding a psychotic threshold of no return for example there was the fugitive enslaved woman margaret garner who when cornered during a siege in 1876 butchered her children to prevent them from returning to slavery the narrative was so terrifying and compelling that writer toni morrison based her novel beloved on the event even though nat turner attributed his actions to being under the direction of the almighty god what was his mental state i could go on with countless stories but the bottom line is that mental health should be taken more seriously and it should be daily concern as we move forward in the hectic world in which we live we simply cannot live without it so thank you ms henson for shining a light on this very serious topic god bless you as you continue to battle your own mental health may all of us follow that example and deal with our own i think that it would make all the difference references larson j l n d a rebellion to remember the legacy of nat turner retrieved june 12 2019 from https docsouth unc edu highlights

me to meet a new class full of eager and nervous students they don t know what to expect from me and i expect everything from them most importantly i expect much from myself as it says in scripture to whom much was given of him much will be required luke 12 48 therefore i also have to be the best that i can be as a teacher they are depending on me to teach them something that they did not know before entering my classroom i am also expecting to learn from them overall it is up to me to facilitate a viable teaching and learning environment for me there will always be room for improvement therefore i continue to strive for the perfecting of my craft power to the teacher and more power to the student peace at 1 23 2019 07 38 00 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to
