I have plenty of people on my timeline who talk spicy to me about Black Lives Matter or racism in general. Faking need for understanding or feigning desire of discussion. As of late, I haven’t really discussed race because I don’t feel like hearing the absolute foolishness the race discussion brings about. However, this event stirred…

6 Months, 25 Days
It has been a very long while since we’ve talked. My apologies. I’m gonna be honest with you AFV readers. I got burnt out. Not only from maintaining a blog, but from useless conversation. You guys know I write about pressing issues. From politics to daily living, I try to give the fresh perspective on…
It’s Been Awhile
Readers of A Fresh Voice, It’s been awhile. It’s been a long while. How’ve you been? I have been busy. Every year we read our Bibles through in 90 days. So, from January to March I have a task to complete. As staff is required to finish reading in order to work in our positions,…
Time to Rise
Easter 2017 has successfully come. This is an especially busy time for me. I have many church duties that magnify when Easter comes around. Instead of focusing on the great task, I rely on God to get me through. He blesses me through the fast-paced week that lies before me. For that I am thankful….
Why Black History Month is Relevant
In the good-natured American way, Black History Month is questioned more and more each year. It seems as though a certain sect of people find this month to be useless and, well, racist. Yes, folks. People consider Black History month to be racist. It’s as if a whole month dedicated to the history of one…
The Code of the Gym
I’ve been going to the gym for about five years now, and I absolutely love it. I’m there like clockwork 3-5 days a week. It’s my release. The ability to release stress after a long day of work is rejuvenating. I’ve been in the gym for almost five years now. It took a while for…
Off Limits
This past weekend was political warfare in Facebook land. I wholeheartedly participated. Posts regarding the Women’s March dominated my newsfeed. Long think pieces for and against the protests (or protesting in general) explained how people felt. The same people echoed their usual sentiments. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer entered the press room and proceeded…
Inauguration Day
Today is the day Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. Many people are excited. Many people are angry. Some overjoyed. Some grieving. There are a host of emotions that have surrounded this day. Now that it’s here I came help but think how similar things were…
My President
In two days Donald Trump is going to be inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States. His presidency has not officially started, and it’s already something to behold. Since the results have been released, protests (and some riots) popped up around the country. He’s been in Twitter battles with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin,…
Happy New Year!
Today is 01/02/2017. That means we have lived through one full day of a brand new year. Yes! No other year can be like this one, and you can make sure of that. How? Well, it all depends on you. How are you going to live this year? Where do you want to travel? What…
I’m One Years Old
Dear Readers, How are you? I pray life is wonderful for you! I haven’t been up to much. September is usually a down month for me. My birthday is the end of August. So when September hits, I’m just coming down from the excitement that is turning a year older, and the deliciousness that is…
