I recall from my college courses the importance of empowering women, and it’s rare to find a television show that does so. But The Conversation does just that with candid discussion from a female point of view. Nothing is off-limits, and with interviews from women who are both interesting (in the pop-culture sense) and unafraid to speak their minds, this is definitely must-see TV, airing...

If I Should Die
The title alone seems so out of place for a guy who’s just celebrated his 28th birthday. My week-long birthday celebration/vacation gave me time to think and reflect on my life thus far, and as morbid as it may be, I didn’t think I’d live to see this 28th year.
It’s funny how a birthday forces one to address mortality, or maybe that’s just me. When my dad called to...

Cleaning Out My Closet
Time spent organizing my closet also served as an opportunity for reflection. I firmly believe that everyone who comes into your life serves a purpose, but that doesn’t mean they will hold a place there forever.
I’ve learned so much about myself over the last couple of years, but it hasn’t come without help from others around me. One of my most enlightening experiences came...
What does it mean to be a Southerner? →
The answer is not readily susceptible and your notion of what being from the South means to you may be totally different from mine. And we can talk about that. After all, Lord knows we do like to talk down here. Preferably while sitting on a nice front porch with a cool glass of something in our hands. So here goes.

Restart
This time of year is always bittersweet for me with my birthday and the anniversary of my best friend’s death. It’s generally a time for reflection as I contemplate the past year and the future one’s hopes and aspirations.
So much has happened over this last year—some good, some bad, but all worthwhile to keep me striving for success. Over the last few months, I’ve failed...

Where Do I Begin
It’s been a while since I’ve really written anything here, and I hate when that happens because I don’t know where or even how to start to catch up on everything.
I’ll never know what possessed me to write a book while also pursuing a graduate degree, but it is what it is. The book has sort of taken a life of its own, and I’m so excited to be able to share it with...
