A Big Problem In NYCHA! (Pt.1)
Right here, in NYCHA developments all across the City, residents are living in deplorable and inhumane conditions, including mold, infestation, no cooking gas and no heat, among many others. There are many reasons as to why this happening. Yet, the fact is that tenants can legally withhold rent if they aren't having the agreed upon services met. And we, the people, must solve this decades old problem.
Visit https://j4ac.us/ and get involved in this fight! It's gonna take as many of us as possible to win.

Dropping Gems pt.2 with Suga Ray & Dannelly
It's been over 70 days with no cooking gas at 1-04 Astoria Blvd. That's an entire building in Astoria Houses, a public housing development within the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), where most residents are above 50 years of age. It's insane and inhumane. We need to figure out a new way to organize and maintain public housing, not just in New York City, but across the Nation.
Listen to Dannelly and I discuss this issue..

Choose Yourself!
There are times we find ourselves in situations, personally and professionally, whether romantically, familiarly, and/or friendly, and we don't feel fully loved, valued, respected, honored and worthy. Too often we stay in those situations because they offer some sense of comfortability, maybe even security, yet they bring no happiness nor peace. Today and everyday, I'm encouraging all of us to choose wisely by choosing self! Choose YOU! Give yourself and your people the same energy you're giving to entities that have shown time and time again that they have a complete disregard for your well-being.
