Well, on a whim, I decided to do another comedy set. This wasn't on my radar, but I just felt like doing it. Sometimes, you just got to say... WTF!!!

The show starts at 8:30 p.m. this Wednesday, 9/10 at the Crystal City Sports Pub (Arlington, VA).

Please come, support, and show some love!!!

Someone needs to hear this today!!!

I was directed to drop-out in the 10th grade after failing 6 of 7 classes & missing 1/3 of the year. In 2014, I nearly ended my life.

This is me now, in 2025, celebrating my college students' graduation in my doctoral robe, which I earned with a 4.0 GPA in 2023.

There's no need to go through challenges alone, as there's always someone who is ready and willing to assist.

Two years ago today, my second tenth grade principal (after I failed this grade the first time), Dr. Gwen Felder, told me that I became Dr. Young. This was nearly 40 years after fate placed her in my life. This amazing educator saw me before I realized who I could become. Thank you, Dr. Felder!!!

@velshi.bsky.social The first thing that came to me after you shared Trump's post, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law" is a restatement of Nixon saying, "But when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."

My quote "Pursue Unrestricted Sustained Happiness (PUSH)" was used to transform my life and achieve my goals during my darkest days. It became the roadmap for the things I achieved then... and I'm doing now.

There are aggressive attacks on our republic and fragile democracy. These things are happening with unprecedented haste and aren't normal. These are aggressive attacks on the rule of law and our systems of checks & balances, which are active attempts to expand presidential (and others') authority.

As we celebrate Black History Month, I'm sharing my poem "We Will Fight On!" I wrote on 1/17/21. I shared it with family on 1/18/21. Four years later, I delivered it on 1/18/25 at a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast. It's even more timely now!

Yesterday, my system was overwhelmed with extreme joy! I was surprised to hear my name called to receive the "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Trumpet Award," which was given to me from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) of Prince George's County.

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone tonight to deliver my first comedy set at the Crystal City Sports Pub.

This isn't my jam, but I'm encouraging a student to be a comedian. Yet, by pushing my limits, I expand my potential to develop new skills.

So, DMV, please stop by and support!
