Introductory Disclaimer: Beyoncé, though I love her, may not be the best go-to for mental health advice. Black celebrities and artists are not automatically black leaders by nature of their fame. There are teachers, professors, counselors, ministers, civil servants, and subject matter experts that have devoted their lives to the communities they serve.

A very short poem about a tree that is submerged in the water. What can the trees teach us about being bent out of shape or submerged?
Alpha Lyrae. Squallé’s Grown Man EP. Feat. Kxng Blanco.
Alpha Lyrae means the brightest star. I love that the first word is alpha and it is associated with masculinity because that is what this album is about.

Heavy Rotation — 2018 Albums on Repeat
I have always loved music. [Read how much music matters to me here.] But, being a stay-at-home parent has changed the way that I listen.

I can’t always get to albums as soon as they dropContinue reading “Heavy Rotation — 2018 Albums on Repeat”
Music Matters
“I see my life in terms of music.” Albert Einstein Songs are like photographs of melodic memories or rhythmic reminders of lessons learned.
