When it comes to education, this is my favorite way to teach--- through music. Check out my new single, Organized Money.
I wrote this tune to help Black people to understand that if we want change, we have to be responsible about our spending. Marching and protesting is fine, but historically what the Establishment truly responds to is money. And while organizing boycotts is a familiar tactic amongst Black activists, a tactic that isn't used quite as frequently or efficiently as it should be is organized spending--- taking the money that we withdraw through boycott, and redirecting it into Black-owned businesses and Black commerce. It's not just about withholding our money from select establishments; it's about investing that money into our OWN establishments.
Give it a listen and tell me whatcha think. If you like it, I strongly urge you to purchase the single (it's only a dollar, c'mon) and then share it with your peeps. I love feedback! And I love ya'll--- Black or otherwise.

Daredevils of Education: A Call to Action, 4/13/2015
On April 10th, Netflix made Marvel’s Daredevil series available for streaming. As a long-time Marvel fan, I barricaded myself indoors for the weekend and partook. By episode 7 I was much impressed; so much so that it inspired me to write. I realized, watching “The Man with No Fear”, that fear is exactly what’s being used to keep educators from saving education. I hope that this entry will be a shot of courage to whoever reads it…________________________________________________
