I have always enjoyed Sex and the City. If reruns were on, I would watch it enthusiastically with a glass of cheap wine, in a questionable t-shirt, whilst sporting a mud mask. Like the cliche I am.

However, I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s my favorite 90’s TV show.

But that's beside the point. It was a cultural icon.

Once upon a time, critics might have considered it shallow and vacuous, but that did not stop it from being one of the most culturally defining moments in television history.

What it lacked for in its myopic views (trust…

It's 4 am and I can't sleep.

My eyes are heavy, from lack of sleep and I am on the verge of crying.

This is how I know I am firmly in the throes of burnout.

I recognized the symptoms of burnout immediately. For instance, it took me well over a week to write this piece, and let me tell you, it felt like I was grasping at air, attempting to string sentences together.

The scenes were dramatic. I wrote, rewrote, eventually tossing virtually most of the articles I had started, whilst having mini breakdowns along the way.

Burnout is…

I am not particularly talented.

In fact, in a sea of family members and friends who do possess talent, whatever I have is a tiny inconspicuous speck on a wall.

Now the rational part of my brain tells me to pack it in and make room for the talented people of the world, but the stubborn irrational part keeps yelling, ‘aite bet, let’s see’.

For the record, I don’t believe you need talent to make it in content creation.

I mean sure having Beyonce-sized lungs, or the writing capacity of Hemingway or the acting chops of Leonardo Di Caprio, would…

When you hear the term Animal Flow you might be forgiven to imagine people growling in unison. Ease up it's not that.

DMX (real name Earl Simmons) aka Dark Man X, has passed away April 9th, 2021, age 50, from an apparent drug overdose and heart attack and I don't know how to deal.

I didn't want to write today, but here I am attempting to craft words to eulogize the life and legacy of one of my favorite rappers of all time.

I was first introduced to DMXs music in the ’90s by my dad.

At that time, I was growing a steady roster of top rap artists that spoke to my formative teenage years. The likes of Jay-Z, Nas, 2pac…

Life sometimes can feel like an endless barrage of Molotov cocktails on loop (cue 2020/2021).

2019 was such a year for me. With my dad’s dementia diagnosis and other unsavory things that followed, I became an angry, apathetic, distracted, person floating through life.

My friendships, mental health, and creativity took a nosedive. Basically, I was the very personification of doom and gloom.

Fast forward to 2021 and things are looking up. Sort of. I mean nothing has changed. …

Grief is something that we have experienced or will invariably experience. It's a painful inescapable part of life.

But there is another level of grief that stings even more; the pain of watching someone you love slowly slip away. It's visceral and I don’t wish it on anyone.

My father has Dementia. Frontal Temporal Dementia. This means that the once vibrant man I know will slowly have his memories and speech eaten by this nasty thing. He will be gone even before he is gone.

Currently, my family and I are occupying this weird space of mourning before the actual…

There is a reason we love the content creators that we do.

If push comes to shove, and we’re asked why it's simple, they seem to possess that generous yet elusive dollop of je ne sais quoi that keeps us wanting more.

Truth is that this je ne sais quoi is just a smidge of the simple puzzle that makes a successful content creator.

Tenacity, consistency, strategic investments, willpower, and habits combined all make for one hell of a formidable creator.

So if you find yourself excusing your way out of being a content creator for the simple fact you…
