Continue reading →: The Answer Is Not Silence. It’s EngagementI don’t feel like talking about diversity in the workplace this week. I’m not upset. Nothing happened. I did some good work this week, and physically I feel fine. I just don’t feel like explaining anything that – to me – should be perfectly obvious, but for one reason or…

Continue reading →: Step Into My (Virtual Reality) ShoesI’ve often thought it might help to curtail police brutality and murder if white and black, or white and some other minority, officers were routinely paired up as partners. Partners spend lots of time together each day. They eat together, travel together, and they act in concert, often in dangerous…

Continue reading →: Dude, Don’t Grab the Pussy – Especially Not at WorkSo this week everyone’s talking about pussy grabbing. I’m not being vulgar, that literally is what everyone’s talking about thanks to Presidential hopeful Donald Trump. By now you’ve probably heard snippets from the recording released last Friday of Trump boasting to now suspended Today Show host Billy Bush how fame…

Continue reading →: What Are You Scared Of?I’m not one for contemplating the big questions. You know: Why are we here? Does God exist? What’s the meaning of life? I disdained philosophy in college. I had a headache the entire class because my eyes were constantly rolling, and no question ever seemed to have an answer. I’m…

Continue reading →: Lena Dunham, Leave Odell Beckham, Jr. AloneI like Lena Dunham. Rather, I’ve always liked what she stood for. I’ve never watched her TV show, and I don’t often visit Lenny, her web site, but I am aware of her stance on feminist issues, self-love, etc. For instance, she insists that she will not allow Hollywood’s unrealistic…
