CNN Suspends Roland Martin for Controversial Comments | Rolling Out - Black News, Celebrity Videos, Entertainment, Business & Politics

This is too over-the-top. Off-the-mark comments about race and sexuality are almost a staple in the black community as a vehicle for comic relief. Rarely is it used to imply prejudice or bigotry against any culture/subculture.

Comparatively, from politicians to broadcasters across the board, our counterparts have gotten away with saying much worse. This is an unfortunate situation because now, instead of letting his easy sarcasm flow, Roland will probably need to meticulously guard every word he utters.

(They think you've gotten too big for your britches homie!)

Until next time,

I Found My Muse - Pt. 1

I found my muse. It’s taken me on a boomerang journey to get to it, but I did. Now, the Universe has tilted me in your direction to let you know, you can too.

Over the next several weeks, this blog post will be given to you in five segments. The idea is to share with you my journey in pieces, instead of long, mundane content, so that you’ll be able to easily digest my notions and apply my experiences to some of yours. Who knows? You might reveal some “aha!” moments.

I also hope these small segments help you also stay focused on the goal: finding your muse so that you can live what you love like I do! Let me get started.

In 2011, I was a world wind of fire, spreading my ashes across multiple career ventures—charring them at best; never really burning my imprint onto anything. Some days, I wanted to consult. Others, I wanted to speak. I also wanted to coach. I wanted to teach. I even wanted to sing and dance again—two careers I’d long ago abandoned.

To get to it all, I rearranged my business strategies. I combined business concepts and merged business ventures. I was on a quest, my fire raging hotter. I talked it out with my business “trustees” and “backers” (people I trust; people who have my back). Some—tired of my changing tides—nodded and said, “Go for it!” (again). The realists said, “Girl, sit down.” And finally others asked profoundly, “You don’t write any more?” A statement—not a question that required an external answer.

Sound familiar? Can't wait to tell you what happened next...

Until then,
