My Inauguration Trip: Thawing Out and Looking Back

It’s definitely good to be home. While I love almost everything about the East Coast, and hope to live there one day, I appreciate the 60 degree nights of California!  But now that I’m home, and the inauguration buzz has diminished, I’m able to reflect on my trip. I still can’t believe that I was a ticketed [...]

We’re here not necessarily to have the best view, but to have the best experience. And memories [...]

The fact we are swearing-in our country’s first Black president; I can’t tell you how much this means to all of my relatives, friends, and the Black community as a whole. Some have compared Barack Obama to Dr. King — some have equaled his election to our [...]
