Book Review and Mild Rant

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This might become more of a rant, but I doubt it.  This book needs more circulation, and Black History needs more attention.  See the book review first:

A Free Man of Color and His Hotel: Race, Reconstruction, and the Role of the Federal GovernmentA Free Man of Color and His Hotel: Race, Reconstruction, and the Role of the Federal Government by Carol Gelderman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Here is another important book on Black History in DC that I read in 2013, but neglected to review, in the rush to finish editing Stayed on Freedom’s Call. This book details the success of a man who rose to importance and wealth in DC before the Civil War, and is generally not spoken about on the DC Tour circuit.

My Comfort Zone. A physical space I am always happy to spend time in.

Because my default mechanism, and by extension my comfort zone, is writing. Plain and simple. Whether it’s a PR piece, a blog post or an online article, writing is my preoccupation, my life. I am always planning something new to write, and I write every day.

So when did I struggle out of that cozy little rut? When I forced myself (or…

The Economic (In)Accessibility of COVID Tests — Blind Injustice

You would hope that, nearly two years into this global pandemic, the wealthiest nation in the history of humankind would figure out a way to make COVID tests economically accessible. What I’ve heard and experienced secondhand in recent weeks has shown to me that such hope is not the reality. I have seen this for […]
