The holidays barely have time to breathe before they’re replaced—nearly stomped out—as retailers race toward the next sale.

Welcome!
As an award-winning journalist, historian, writer, and online entrepreneur, I’ve dedicated my life to sharing stories that shape our world. I believe in the power of words to convey dreams, ideas, and experiences. My journey as a writer began in an extraordinary childhood as an Army brat, experiencing the harmonious world Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., envisioned—a foundation that still informs my work today.

The Good Samaritan Understood the Assignment: But — Do We Practice What We Preach?
- Ruth Anita Foote

The Good Samaritan had an assignment to do. He understood the assignment. He completed the task. He did not ponder, or question what he had to do. He did not analyze it. He did not a flip a coin. He acted without hesitation. He responded, a simple reflex. Like inhaling. What

He looked at me in horror. Add in pure disgust, too. But — I thought the Bible said not to judge, and he was a pastor. He was my coworker also. He had come around the corner just in time to hear us giggling like teenagers about the upcoming Nelly concert.

“I’m gonna beat you up on the last day of school,” he said. I wasn’t quite sure how to respond. How do you respond? To that? I had been on the planet for less than a decade, and my life was in jeopardy. Yet it had not been an overt threat.
Too Far From the Light: Dylan Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

Dylan died as he lived: His lover clinging to his arm. That is how I heard the police found him: The syringe hanging out. He was most likely another victim of Fentanyl. The phantom drug had struck down so many young people in our community, and across the country, even though

Captain — I’m glad I got to know you again. ~ Admiral Katheryrn Janeway Sometimes, we need to remind ourselves who we are. We need to reintroduce ourselves to our younger self(s). In other words, we need to figuratively go back in time so that we remember our dreams and desires,

Gremlin Bots and Other Terror: Why It’s Vital to Protect Yourself Online!
Often the “hard’ way is the “best” way to learn a lesson even though it is accompanied by physical and/or mental pain. I was not that child who had to be told twice not to touch the stove burner, but I did learn the hard way on why you should not hold a firecracker too […]

STOP Playing Small: Grow into Your Purpose!
I’ve probably been playing small all of my life given the fact that I’m a member of the “short people” population, and therefore, have always been in front where I was forced to endure a spotlight. In some cases, it was no problem, such as a group photo or class picture. But when it came […]

As an award-winning journalist, historian, writer, and online entrepreneur, I’ve dedicated my life to sharing stories that shape our world. I believe in the power of words to convey dreams, ideas, and experiences. My journey as a writer began in an extraordinary childhood as an Army brat, experiencing the harmonious world Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., envisioned—a foundation that still informs my work today.
After my family settled in my father's hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, I later discovered a vibrant culture that inspired my passion for writing and community advocacy. I’ve channeled this passion into my work, from co-publishing Creole Magazine in the 1990s to authoring For Shakespeare's Stepchildren: 10 Essential Writing Tips and Techniques: Secrets of Successful Writers, available on Amazon now. And recently, I uploaded my thesis in book format, Just As Brutal But Without All the Fanfare: African American Students, Racism, and Defiance during the Desegregation of Southwestern Louisiana Institute, 1954-1964, which tells the inspirational story of the brave young men and women who desegregated the school, today known as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. It became the first higher education institution to desegregate in the Deep South.
