By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor Well, here we are entering the month of May. We haven’t even made it halfway through the year and plenty of problematic public figures are making headlines. Unfortunately for me, some of these individuals have been people I admire or support. But with these artists saying and doing things that others would find offensive or abnormal (or having done so in the past), the […]
By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor Whether you are a fan or not, it’s hard to deny that Beyoncé is one of the greatest live performers to set foot on this earth. As a proud member of the Beyhive, I have to say that it is because her performances go way past her music. Over the years, Beyoncé has celebrated black culture and heritage. And as she took the Coachella […]
By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor “Everything that glitters isn’t gold.” When I experienced my first “heartbreak”, my mother made sure she gave me those words.

By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor Countless times, I’ve heard stories about students being bullied. Unfortunately, most of the stories that I’ve heard end in tragedies. While so many questions could be asked about our youth and the national epidemic of bullying, I want to know why so many children are left without help in these situations. It’s almost as if some adults believe in this ignorant myth that if […]

By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor It’s pretty obvious that we are living in a society plagued by injustice and strife. Different, conflicting opinions fill our dialogue and some of us wonder when or if we will ever see the day when there is a “peaceful, common ground” and equality represents everyone. We want change, but at times it feels so out of reach. But does that mean we stop […]
By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor Nostalgia can be a wonderful thing, at least until you feel like you’re drowning in it. With this irksome trend of TV networks wanting to ride the popularity wave that comes with rebooting or reviving certain television series, I have to say it's hard for me to stay afloat.
