Natural Soul Conversations

Just a little bit of random thought and perspective on some of the current events that affect our communities. I don't always ride solo on topics but sometimes, it's nice to let you guys in on the inner workings of this Black, Female, Super Dome! Yes, I'm referring to my brain and to be honest, there's nothing special about it and I'm certainly no genius. Just a Black woman with a little time on h...

Listen, to often the dominant society has answered out demands for equality and equity with performative actions; gestures that either do not fully address our issues exclusively as descendants of slaves and oppressed people; actions and expressions that are no more than pacifiers...AND THEY KNOW IT! Like many Black Americans, I do not care whose face is on the $20 dollar bill as long as I have ac...

Life is already hard enough. Why add negativity to what should be a healthy relationship with a partner that is supposed to be a close confidant? Somewhere along the way, we have been conditioned to equate love with strife and pain, no matter how small or great. That's not logical or safe. It's not logical because why would you intentionally hurt the ones closest to you? And WHY would you risk ali...

Many of Trump's supporters do no want to accept the fact that there is a new sheriff in town, and his name is Joe Biden. President Biden has issued, signed thirty executive orders during his first week, compared to Trump signing five executive orders his first week. Biden supporters say that the new president is reversing all of the "damage" made by Trump. The gag is many voters did not vote for B...

This episode is a continuation of last week's conversation with Artist, Lynda Coleman. But this time, we talk about perseverance, doing a thing that you've been called to do, even when circumstances tempt you to "just say no". Lynda gets personal and shares her story of the death of her father and sister, as well as challenges she faced entering her first professional art show and festival. For mo...

Well, many who left Facebook for Parlor are now scurrying back after Parlor shut down. Why come back to this restrictive censorship-loving platform? It's one thing to hold and share convictions. It's quite another to spew hatred that incites violence and riots. No Black focused organization has ever behaved that way, despite the many lies that have been told. Oh well, welcome back!

I am watching the inauguration for the first time in my life, and I have to say that it is not out of a sense of pride or patriotism, but out of a heightened sense of anxiety from not knowing what to expect from the outgoing administration. My hope, for the sake of the country, is that the ceremony goes off without a hitch or violence. Although this country has not been close to fair for Blacks, I...

Kristy or Karen is asking to be removed from all John Hughes films if Donald Trump's bit part is scrubbed from Home Alone Two.

Given the very recent event of the storming of the Capitol, today should be a day of reflection, for recognizing that we have made little progress in the way of racial equality, and making a firm commitment to holding accountable those who uphold racial injustices.

How do you get your Twitter Account Banned...FOR LIFE?! The lifetime ban of Trump's Social Media Accounts should tempt the average person to reevaluate his mental stability and question if his motives are pure and righteous. I think most would have to admit that Trump has an agenda that only serves a group of people who do not believe in equity or justice for all. Connect with Natural Soul Convers...

A follow up to the events surrounding the storming of the U.S. Capitol-January 2021. There was much more going on and if the reports are true that only a SMALL outlier group infiltrated a peaceful protest and later, illegally entered and vandalized the Capitol, did the collective group of peaceful protesters and anti-protesters have a duty to preserve the peace? Could they have done anything at al...
