  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

This week's blog, July 1, 2007...She is...

She is bravery. She is defined by her own rules. She is phenomenal. She is beautiful. She is love. She is peace. She is the standard. She is loyal. She is precious. She is honest. She is valued.

She is not jealousy. She is not catty. She is not negative. She is not cheap. She is not disrespectful or disrespected. She is not common.

There are many things and people present in the world that will work to break you down. The worst thing you can do is help them. Within these words, within these pages, my only hope is that you find something to help you define yourself. My hope is that within this union of "She Is Superstars", you discover the courage to be the beautiful individual you were intended to be.

We don’t have to love the same music, we don’t have to love the same movies, we don’t have to love the same clothes, we don’t have to love the same boys, we don’t have to love the same food, and we don’t even have to love the same types of people. We only have to love ourselves. When we love ourselves, we can allow the people around us to be themselves. We can embrace diversity in our lives because we know that people don’t have to be exactly like us and we don’t have to be exactly like anyone else.

I have a confession, I’m 23 years old and I like High School Musical. There was a period in my life where I was embarrassed to like certain things. Sometimes I even tried to convince myself that I didn’t like those things! But who am I serving and who am I helping by pretending to be someone that I’m not? How can I call someone my friend and I’ve lied to them about who I am?

Who I am. Who I am? How do I know who I am? Who I am comes from many things: what I like, what I don’t like, what I will do, what I won’t do. It comes from my dreams, my secrets, my fears. It comes from who I like, who I don’t like. And guess what the best part is? No one, and I repeat, no one can say that you are wrong. Who you are can never be wrong. Ever.
