It doesn’t matter if you’re White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Red or any combination of our “Hue” man race.  It does matter if we don’t have a conversation about race.  Racism is another ball of wax, but for purposes of examining our current state of the current socio-economic challenges, we have to look at race for what it is:  fear of what is not known.

Slow, steady and stylish are three words that best describe Andrew Dosunmu’s latest offering “Mother of George.”

 

For Dosunmu, a Nigeria-born director, New York is once again the city of choice. It’s where he filmed his last movie “Restless City” and it’s in Brooklyn we follow the life of Adenike (Danai Gurira), a Nigerian newlywed who resorts to drastic measures after she discovers that she’s unable to conceive a child.

“It’s not about me, it’s not about the founders, it’s about us,” said Jackie Jerome Marks as he addressed guests at the semi-annual fellowship luncheon.

Football season is back! For many, this is start of what could be considered the sports fiscal year. From September to June, we immersed in football, and basketball. There is not much that we ask from people who are not as enthralled as we are during these months. However, there are a couple of requests that I would like to make on behalf of myself, and other sports fanatics. Even though you all may not be able to grant the requests, please indulge me, and see if you can work with any of them.
