‘Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.’ – Muhammad Ali Most of you know, looking at my generation or the guys directly before me, I model a lot of my activism on what I always heard about 2Pac: 90 percent of the selfless things that I do, […]
I had to make an unexpected detour through the Westside today, and as much as I know my destiny is to be bi-coastal… OHHHH I LOVE MY BEAUTIFUL CITY!!!
So here’s my ‘pay it forward’ for this week. The finished piece never went live, but a few of you know I already knocked a huge chip off of my ‘black film geek’ bucket list this year when I auditioned for and was cast in a short by Issa Rae and her production company. […]
The only thing I have to add on this Donald Sterling mess is he’s making some of the shorts I’ve written earlier this year seem damn prophetic. Stay tuned on that regard. Moving on, they always tell you to ‘write what you know’. It’s only now on the back end, as I’m writing shorter […]

Things are moving in the right direction. Everyone I’ve talked to so far about Angel wants to help and likes what I’m trying to do, which of course motivates me and makes me happy. It’s so many moving parts to make it come out the way I want it to come out. I’m the Captain on […]
Knowing how to where a suit (preferably custom tailored from Michael’s in Kansas City if possible). The Aviator shades. Yelling through the lisp. Being a A plus ‘Hollywood jerk’ who is SO ridiculous and over the top with the trash talk he’s pretty much daring you not to laugh with him. Yeah, that’s the […]
“This city needs Bruce Wayne, your resources, your knowledge. It doesn’t need your body, or your life. That time has passed.” I’m a week into the current chapter of my life.
