Prior to 2 years ago, I never knew when Father’s Day was. I actually only faintly remember knowing that there was even a Father’s Day… maybe 10 or so years ago. It was never a Holiday that I recognized or acknowledged. That’s because not only did I never have a relationship with my Father, but […]
One day (I think I was about 13) my Big Brother David bought me an alarm clock and set it that night. The next morning, I woke up a few minutes before the time the alarm was set to go off. I continued to do that for a week straight and realized that I didn’t […]
Confession, I’ve always thought it was silly to spend your hard earned money on a trip to Disney World for a child who is too young to actually remember the experience. I’ve always felt the same way about having a birthday party for a kid who can barely say “Birthday”. That’s where Ravy’s Mom and […]
Today March 31st may just be any old day to most of the world but it’s a holiday to me. On this day 87 years ago, a baby girl was born in a small town outside of Cleveland Ohio and her parents Elmon and Della (Flanagan) Jackson named her Eunice Vallee Jackson. She was inherently […]
My mother was a math teacher. One day she asked me, “Calvin, do you know a Universal?” She told me where he lived. I said that I knew a Tasheen, a Prince, a couple of other Five Percenters from over there but no Universal. I asked her, “Why?” She said, “He doesn’t show up […]
It’s “thunder snowing” outside! I literally just learned that term today! Pink lightning and LOUD thunder all around my house! The weatherman predicted that Winter Storm Niko will pound the northeast; more specifically my city in Connecticut from 4am – 9pm with a total accumulation of 18 inches. I’m looking out my window and it […]
Today I went to one of my closest friend’s (Eric) father’s funeral. While it was definitely a sad occasion, I was encouraged by all the great words that so many people had to say about Mr Hollis. Cars were lined up on both sides all the way down the street and the church was packed […]
Today is Jan 20th, 2017. Today is the day that the 44th US President peacefully transfers power over to the new 45th US President. This past election taught me that the same people who can be motivated by Hope and Love, can also be motivated by Fear and Hate. We are all human. It takes […]
(Interview) Dr. Traci N. Fitzhugh (Traci N. Fitzhugh, MD, FACOG) Ronn: Thank you for accepting my interview request. I’m very excited about being a father and I want to share that with the world as well as help to educate people about fatherhood. Being a father isn’t just about paying the child’s expenses. So much goes […]
It’s April 4th, 2015 and I’m concerned. I’m concerned because my DJ business (R & D DJ And Event Services, LLC) has an event that night and I won’t be home. Why is being home important? It’s important because the most important event of my life is supposed to happen on April 5th (at least […]
