Brown Skin – Chocl8t’s Name. July 9, 2014. I keep replaying that moment over and over again in my head and also the video, minute marker 2:10 to be exact. That moment I jumped, no, glided out of the plane at 14,000 feet in the air, 2.7 miles, on my very first tandem skydive. After sharing the pictures and video with friends and family via social media, I was met with feedback that was overwhelmingly positive and replete with admiration. White Rage, the Hunger Games, and the Lack of Justice for Eric Garner.

Brown Skin – Chocl8t’s Name. I Am Learning To Dance. September 16, 2013. The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie. Agnes de Mille. He leads, she follows. He controls the situation and she surrenders, totally. Through submission she feels the freedom. This is on the dance floor. If there is any truth to the quote. Dance is the hidden language of the soul. Martha Graham. For all the good the feminist movement did in achieving social and political equality for wom...

Brown Skin – Chocl8t’s Name. Blind Date, Bridges and Humility. August 3, 2007. 8212;————————-. How many times have you been in your car stuck on a bridge or overpass during rush hour traffic? 8212;————————–. In the ten days from when the incident occurred and the apology was offered, God convicted my spirit. How did He do this you may ask? I have played this game of tug-o-war with God before and I have never, ever won. Thus, I relented, repented, and humbled myself. July 25, 2007. Will Smith, Idris.

I could engage my dad in hours-long conversations just about anything but talking about music made the man glow. GLOW! Baby, that’s Peter Frampton. Through my dad, I learned to love music...
