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…

Poetry Mode
What’s good Fresh readers? I’ve been on Instagram poetry mode the past about 6 months or so. I have a lot of great (I think so anyway) content out there. So, I thought I’d share some here. As for A Fresh Voice, fear not! I need to get back into writing again. It’s cathartic. Life…
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 Cause
Are you down for the cause? I ask this question because I see so many people that are quick to discredit an issue. They search for anything that will prove an issue is false. Thus, it is a “false narrative.” I’ve seen plenty of people apply this thought process to Black Lives Matter and the…
10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me
Earlier today I asked about you. What makes the readers of A Fresh Voice tick? We are all so diverse in our thoughts, styles, and expressions. It’s important to learn about one another. That way we can engage in meaningful conversation. Especially if we know how to communicate with each other. Since I asked about…
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…
Letters to My Younger Self: Kid J
Dear Kid J, Hey!! How’ve you been since I last wrote you? It looks like you’ve grown up! How old are you now? Eight, right? That means you should be in second grade. Do you like school? If not, then trust that it will get better. It can be tough when you change schools. You…
Driving In My Car
Sometimes the best road trips happen when you’re driving by yourself. Don’t get me wrong, road tripping with friends is cool. Dollar store snacks. Conversations about the most meaningless things. Making memories for a lifetime. I mean that’s a highlight of college. However, road trips by your lonesome are like no other. Maybe it’s because…
I Just Want….
I’m lying in a hotel bed with the urge to write. Tiredness has wrapped its hands around my body. Sleepiness is caressing my eyelids. It has been a long day. However, I have to fulfill this yearning to write. I have to get my creative juices flowing. I have to write the next great piece!…
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…

Time off to relax, enjoy family, and hang with friends. Summer time Fridays mean camping trips, lake or beach fun, and grilling outside. The sun is shining with a slight…
