The past couple of weeks have been quite a doozy. Dr. Seuss Enterprises decided they were going to stop printing six of their books, “And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs” and “The Cat’s Quizzer,” with the reason being these…

For the 46th Time..
Joseph R. Biden is officially the 46th President of the United States. What a refreshing thing to say! After the last 4-5 years of utter chaos, we finally have someone in the White House that’s calling for peace and unity. I saw my Facebook timeline filled with sentiments of joy (most of my conservative friends…
The Price You Pay for Being Aware
You mad? That phrase in all of it’s grammatically incorrect glory has been asked for centuries. Over the last few years, it’s been asked of me. Why, you ask? Because I talk about my racial experiences. Let me be transparent. The societal construct of racism has always interested me. Initially, it was due to my…
What I Learned in 2020
Congratulations!! If you were blessed to be able to make it to the end of 2020, then you should be grateful beyond words. Seeing the end of this year is like beating Donkey Kong, Jumanji, and Monopoly at the same time. In less hyperbole, 2020 has been rough, but in that there’s been blessings. Here…
Don’t Talk About it. Be About It.
I’ve never been a fan of LeBron James. Ever. He had way too much hype coming into the NBA. His shot really wasn’t sweet. He bullies his way to the rim on offense and had the nerve to flop on defense. No finesse whatever (rip Kobe!). Then, the 07 Pistons series came and I saw…
So You Say You’re Seeking the Truth..
What up y’all? I’ve been slacking on the blogging tip. Not that I don’t still write (my musings are usually Facebook statuses). However, my guy Tony encouraged me to start writing in the blog again. I appreciate your encouragement, sir. More than you know. For those who are first time readers of A Fresh Voice,…
The MLK You Were Taught About is Not Real
Yes. Reread that headline again. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. you were taught about in school was not real. Oh yes, the man himself existed. He lost his life for the betterment of African Americans. However, the idea of this docile negro fighting for civil rights being loved and revered in his lifetime is…
Oh, The Places We Will Go: Part 2
Last time I left you my beautiful bride and I were enjoying our reception. As much fun as we were having with family and friends, we had to get up early in the morning. Our 7 day cruise honeymoon was to begin! I have pictures for days, y’all. Shout out to the makers of the…
Oh, The Places We Will Go: Part 1
What up A Fresh Voice readers? I’m sure you noticed that I was on a long hiatus this year. You may have asked, “Where’s the fresh view?” Well, I was tied up. For good reason, though. In fact, it’s one of the best things that’s happened in my life time. I got married y’all! God…
Guest Blog Post
Good. Friday! We made it to the weekend! I hope that it is one of relaxation for you. First, I want to send out a thank you to all the readers of A Fresh Voice. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my views. No matter how much we disagree, I can learn…
24 Hours to Cope
Two nights ago, I was winding down playing NBA 2K18. I hopped on Twitter for a spell and I saw there was an active shooter situation in Las Vegas. For some reason the words “active shooter” didn’t click. I kind of dismissed it and went to bed. The next morning I woke up to read 50 people…
Say Thank You
In the scheme of relationships, compliments play a huge role. I’m not talking about the meaningless “You’re so fine I’d drink your bathwater!” nonsense (If you think about it, that’s really gross!!). I mean showing appreciation when your significant other doesn’t feel the best. Be it looks, emotionally, or physically, compliments can really boost one’s…
