“Whether a person wants one or not, they are going to have a journey. The destinations of their journey are dependent upon the choices they make during their Journey.”
There are very few people who at some point during their life haven’t taken a fall, realized a setback or had to pick him or herself back up and move on with life.
The magnitude of each individual’s challenge is gigantic, because it is his or her personal challenge, which they are living in real time.

You're released from prison. Now you need to find a job. In reality, you don't need a job – you need a break.
As I have mentioned in previous Sextant articles, your success at landing employment will largely depend upon you being an open book with no hidden agendas.
Now, how do we create this, no hidden agenda - open book persona? I actually stumbled on it by accident. Let me share my personal experiences.
After I was released on August 7 1980, I spent a solid month canvassing office and industrial
For the past three weeks, I have written about the deep, transformational, second-order change that I would like to see for a peaceful world. I’ve mentioned transfor

By Sobantu Mzwakali| A man cannot hate the whip with which he is being flogged but then be expected to love the person doing the flogging. When such a black man, lying helpless bleeding on the ground expresses hate for the white person wielding the whip, it is only reasonable.
Many times, in the presence of whites, I have found myself in a position that no black person should ever find themselves in. After being accused of being a racist by liberals and conservatives, both black and white, I hav
By John Harvey MurrayDuring his visit to Jamaica, David Cameron was asked to give an apology on behalf of the British for their part in the slave trade. If you have a view on that naturally emotive subject, you might find some or all of these facts helpful in deepening your understanding. I found they made a difference to mine. None of these or any other facts in any way justify or mitigate the evil of slavery, past or present.

I have been asking and will continue to ask, where are the Black Republicans? Race will be one of the top issues in the 2016 elections and none of our presidential campaigns have any Blacks in the media representing their respective campaigns. Why in the hell do Republicans continue to have white staffers try to address racial issues within the Black community? Are these campaigns really that stupid? Black Republicans have absolutely no presence in the media when |

"In a bid to strengthen the Russian air campaign, another Syrian ally -- China -- is now planning to deploy Shenyang J-15, a carrier-based fighter aircraft, in Syria.
Several reports have stated that Beijing has agreed to join the Russian air campaign. The development has come mere days after Chinese Foreign Min
For many people who have a less than pristine history, the biggest barrier they face in seeking employment is frequently the fear of disclosing their conviction more than anything else. Ex-offenders cringe at the very thought of having to tell someone their story. For goodness sakes, what are they going to do - say “Boo!” and take away your birthday?
When I am growing a fast-paced business, particularly in a relatively new industry, litigation is fairly common. Invariably, my felony convictions a
I have often been asked by friends and acquaintances if they could accompany me on one of my journeys to the BLAC World. Typically they are either too busy or financially strapped to actually go on such a trip; but their desire to travel is genuine. How can you afford to go somewhere for three months, they ask? What are the dangers that await me? What shots do I need? What happens if I break a leg or get sick in the middle of the bush? Who will take care of my dog (or other pet) while I am gone?

The first consideration an individual must contemplate when facing community re-entry after incarceration is whether or not he or she genuinely wants a different path in life.
Changing your life path requires work, dedication and sacrifice. If an individual is unwilling to put forth the effort and work that is necessary to change his or her life path, then that person will probably find the exercise of trying to reenter mainstream society very frustrating.
People who do not genuinely want to embr

I have offed and will continue to offered the Obama Administration a solution to American Gun Violence, and hope that President Obama develops the moral courage to respond to it. I question whether their is a serious commitment to addressing Gun Violence in America because politicians refuse to have a discussion with me about a solution to Gun Violence, while offering no viable alternative solutions.
President Obama gives great emotional speeches after each gun violence tragedy, but he has refuse

This debate tends to weigh heavily on uncut men, leading to anxieties and insecurities concerning their manhoods.
But some of the stigma around foreskin can be vanquished by learning the facts about the sheath. The following may help uncut men improve their body image.

Many Nigerians are puzzled by President Buhari and wonder what his #Change agenda really is. Someone has even gone as far as to say that “Most people are feeling conned, and it's only morning yet.” Luckily, Buhari’s First Hundred Days now belong to history. So historians can begin to examine it for clues to Buhari’s actual mission and agenda as president, and how he will go about implementing it. This essay is my contribution to that effort.
It is helpful to divide his actions into two groups:
