Add another death of a black youth to the growing number black youth being killed/murdered/assassinated by the police, by citizens, by others and each other.

CherrieJW | May 26, 2009

When a boat docks on our shores, particularly along the Florida coast,  lots of issues can occur.  You can be welcomed with open arms; you can be given food and shelter. You can be protected.  But there one catch –you must be Cuban.  Each year thousands enter our country illegally, and each year thousands are [...]

What Is A Journalist?

CherrieJW | May 24, 2009

I haven’t written in awhile. Passion for writing have given away to the daily   grind.  The mundane world has so manydistractions that I can hardly think.  And there has been so much going on in the world that I don’t know where to begin. And there in lies the rub.  Where to begin? I joined [...]

Health Insurance

CherrieJW | May 13, 2009

A morning begins with medication. 7 pills to be exact.  Sometimes swallowed down with water, but more often with coffee or tea.  These are maintenance medications, taken everyday whether you want them or not.

The Nerve of Fox

CherrieJW | May 10, 2009

I am so sick of haters. Fox News refusing to run the 100 days evaluation was just too much to tolerate.  I thought news media was supposed to be fair and unbiased. Do you think that they’re still being paid by the Bush administration?   It seems that everything that comes from the lips of any [...]

World Peace Starts at Home

CherrieJW | May 5, 2009

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.   My children have been taught that any change that occurs does so because they are the catalyst to it.   Prophet Muhammad said that any charity begins at the end of your hand. When I stretch out my fingers, I see my children, my [...]

Michelle Obama (and other Black Women)

CherrieJW | May 4, 2009

The obsession with Michelle Obama is not with her degrees, her struggle to maintain her family despite their current surroundings and the subsequent two years it took to get there).   We, as a nation, are not obsessed with her character, growing up on the South side of Chicago and then going back there to help others [...]
