The opportunity to create abounds in what has yet to be created – what’s waiting for the creator to immortalize words, lyrics, paintings, … whatever gift defines their art the silence before its birth always waits for the art to begin.

To Imagine __________________________
Two
decades into this 21st century, I can only imagine what it’s like to be a young
black man growing up in the inner cities … burdened with confrontations to be
hard in order to survive outside pressures setting false examples of manhood,
while their inner voice drowns under violent noise. Yet, it is those with
resolve who do survive, hearing not just their inner voice, but seeing
a vision for their lives, beyond their current state.

Links to Excellence: Enriching Content - A Movie Soundtrack Special
Airing the uplifting
two-part Lifetime TV series, Real Love and
Strength of a Woman, executive produced by Mary J. Blige, along with
writers, Rachel Ingram and Sonja Warfield, and directors, Camrus Johnson and
Shari L. Carpenter, the song-entitled movies are mature narratives on Black
life, focusing on education and career goals, amidst physical trauma and
romantic obstacles, impeding loving relationships worth fighting for.
Intelligently executed,
I hope to see more of such needed content.

The Other AI ____________________
With so much talk about artificial intelligence, there are various categories and speculations about its future impact. One obvious form that is currently impacting consumers is that which is found in retail stores and fast-food establishments, requiring automated transactions with fewer cash transactions or retail personnel to assist customers.
In its implementation humanity
suffers and society is left without a soul, seeing the rise in unemployment and
those with minimal skillsets feeling disheartened, not having advanced skills beyond
those found in customer service jobs, teaching youth survival skills as saying
please and thank you.
Just as gas station attendants
are an anomaly, cashiers and baggers are at threat of becoming extinct, as we may
soon find ourselves on the other side of humanity.
