Today is one of those days where I’m incredibly excited to share some really good news with you.

Both seemed outrageous at the […]

Have you ever heard of Relisha Rudd? Yesterday, through all of the noise about Donald Trump and his lies, I heard her name for the very first time. The sweet little eight year old girl, which is the same age of my precious daughter, Savannah, has been missing for three long years. She lived in […]
For the past two years, as I’ve traveled the country and spoken on college campuses, and even right here on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, I’ve frequently made the point that it is hard to know a moment in history in when you’re in it. On an average day where you are stressed about work, […]

I […]
Good Morning Everybody! I wanna change things up a little bit for us today. As you may know, every single day of the week, I write about injustice and police brutality and racial discrimination for the New York Daily News.

The legendary James Baldwin once said that “To be Black in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all of the time.” This morning, all I can do is keep it real. I must confess that I’m angry, frustrated, and right on the verge of that rage […]
On Sunday evening, Donald Trump announced that his Chief Strategist in the White House will be Stephen Bannon. It was the first announcement he made for staffers and is a clear signal that we don’t have to wait and see who Trump values most in the world or whether or not he will become […]
Over the past 24 hours I received hundreds and hundreds of accounts of men, women, and children who were targeted, harassed, and assaulted by emboldened Donald Trump supporters. Latinos were told to go back to Mexico Black folk were told to go back to Africa Muslim women had their hijab ripped off LGBT folk […]
Longtime activist and former chairwoman of the Black Panther Party Elaine Brown didn’t mince words when it came to characterizing the Black Lives Matter movement. She says the movement’s slogan “hands up, don’t shoot” is grounded in a “plantation mentality.” The harsh criticism of the movement came in an interview with the U.K. site Spiked-online. When […]
