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…
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,…
Leadership in the Midnight Hour: Where is President Trump?
If you’ve been paying even minimal attention to current events, then you know Americans are going awwwfff! George Floyd was slowly murdered by four (former) Minneapolis Police Department officers on May 25th, 2020. Bystanders recorded video of Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on a cuffed and detained George Floyd’s neck. This caused causing a blockage to…
I Just Want to Live
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…
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…
What It Takes for You to Believe
What does it take for you to believe my story? The experiences that shaped me? The events that formed my perception? What does it take for you to believe? I ask this because too often we dismiss people’s experiences. Whether we think they are lying or if we try to explain what we think actually happened….
In A Moment’s Notice
We often walk through thinking “It won’t happen to me.” That’s the worse mindset to have. Anything could happen to you. “Sir, will you please come with me?” My thoughts on what to eat for breakfast dashed as I looked up from fixing my sock. A grocery store manager was walking towards me with with…
President Trump and the Deceived Evangelical Base
If you don’t believe in Jesus, then you better start. Why do I say that? Aside from your soul’s salvation, truly look at the world around you; the American government in particular. For the last three years it’s been a complete circus. Trump’s campaign was a nightmare for those who believe in humanity and decency….
Wrestling Fans: Let’s Talk about Sexual Assault
Y’all know I’m a wrestling fan. I’ve been a fan since I could jump off my couch and deliver a Macho Man Randy Savage elbow to my Ultimate Warrior wrestling buddy. Since the days of coming home from the mall and immediately turning on WCW Saturday Night to watch Sting. Or, getting my healthy dose…
