My Moment That Matters and Episode 1 of the Podcast Series I Hosted
Sometimes, I get to do some really cool things. When AT&T came to me and said they wanted me to host their four-episode podcast series this Black History Month, that was certainly in the “ok that’s cool” box. I dropped a picture of me in the studio a couple of weeks …

The Night of the 2016 Iowa Caucus Was Long and Treacherous
Yesterday was the highly-anticipated Iowa Caucus, where a small state with really white people somehow predict who the final nominees for the parties will be.

Frederick Douglass’ Hair on Google Welcomes You to Black History Month
I woke up this morning excited because I knew Google would change their doodle to commemorate the start of Black History Month. Last year, it was a graphic of Harriet Tubman holding a lantern, being a freedom queen. I dug it. But THIS year? They got Frederick Douglass front and …
