Don’t Believe the hype of all this, “You don’t need a degree! We’ve created 10,000 new jobs to show you that a degree does not matter!” If I could write this entire post in all-caps without risking my own sanity then I would.

To My Young Black Brothers:

What’s good fellas???

I know you don’t know me and we don’t know each other, but I felt that it was important that I share a few things that were on my heart. The truth of the matter is that I wholeheartedly care about your well-being; therefore, I feel obligated to help out in any way that I can. Lastly, I understand that this may seem like a simply written letter; however, I would appreciate it if you viewed it as an open invitation and opportunity to ask me questions and get any type of clarity that I may be able to provide you.

We all know it’s true!

It took approximately 24hrs for Childish Gambino to break the internet and to instantly propel himself into the greatest mc alive discussion. Forget the lack of “bars” but take a step back and marvel at the artistry of his piece. It’s not just the music or the message, he also included some powerful subliminal messaging using powerful psychological tools to his advantage. His respect for the art of music and for the art of scientific research should be highlighted and revered by all; however, 95% of people didn’t even realize it so…that’s a moot point.

Let me break it down for you.
