Sage’s Rage: Thank you Houston Family for blessing us with this service!
Posted on: February 18, 2012
I had to jump out of my seat and write a quick post. I am SOO inspired by the celebration/home-going service for Whitney Houston which is currently being aired on many channels and on the internet as I write.
I want to thank her family for sharing this moment with us. More importantly the powerful healing spirit of the Black church is being broadcast all over the country/world right now! This is such an amazing moment for those of us believers. God is so good!

- Comments Off on Hot off The Press: Showing our youth luv
i’m tired of folks bad mouthing our youth. i’ve had it with those who bemoan that no one is doing anything about it. there are thousands of leaders out there doing their thing. quietly fighting the good fight, making a difference and showing youth love…
lift your spirits by watching what is right; community leaders taking back the streets.
support the documentary ‘interrupters’ on PBS today…

- Comments Off on Hot Off the Press: Isn’t She Lovely- Baby Blue Revealed
today Jay-Z and Beyonce posted photos of their daughter Baby Blue.
they did so in style with the grand reveal of her very own website http://helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com/
no doubt that site is blowing up right now cause everyone wants a piece of little miss ivy. some have said all this exposure can’t be good for a child. but i disagree.
it takes a village to raise a child and if we do it right, millions of us over the next two decades could help bring blue ivy into her own. sending her love, giving sage (no pun intended) advice, applauding her success and most importantly forgiving the mistakes she is sure to make.
all the hysteria over the carter birth can be refocused to launch a ‘national campaign’ to promote family values, a sense of community and commitment to our children. the fixation with how cute she is will hopefully allow us to see how adorable all of our youth are. IF we do it right.
so visit the site, talk all you want, become a fan of B.I. but remember that just like any other kid, a life is at stake and how we act towards her matters…

- Comments Off on Sage’s Rage: HIV is still here, listen up…talk!
Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. I’m sure you have heard the numbers…
In 2009, Black Americans represented only 14% of the U.S. population, but accounted for almost half of all new HIV infections. That’s right, people are still getting infected with HIV, which is a completely preventable virus. And the numbers keep increasing especially among Black youth because we aren’t talking about it. So I need your help…
Please take some time to talk to a teen about building positive relationships and getting tested to they know where they stand…
