I’m excited to announce my forthcoming book, BLACK OUT LOUD!

It captures the golden age of ’90s Black sitcoms and the long history of Black comedy as a force that reshaped culture.

It's the story of how it all came together and why it mattered.

During this #BlackHistoryMonth, we will not stay silent in the face of the evils of racism and xenophobia.

The proper response for the decent person is to condemn the hatred perpetuated by a world leader who assumed a role meant for cooperation and service to ALL.

Shirley Raines, the founder and CEO of Beauty 2 The Streetz brought so much to those in need in Skid Row (Los Angeles), Nevada and occasionally other locales.

It hurts to learn of her passing.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.

That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.
