From the heartstring pulling, soul dredging sounds of Sam Cooke to the powerful, demanding voice of Aretha Franklin, Rhythm and Blues has been a staple of American music and the true channel of the Black Experience’s expression for nearly 80 years.

Growing up as a young Black boy in America in southern Florida, one of the primary rules and principles I was told as a kid is: Don’t talk to strangers. If any stranger approaches you, run for cover or call for help.  Growing up, there are a lot of unforeseen dangers and things that you come across where the unknown presents a far more dangerous outcome visual than what you may know.

              I am pretty sure by now, you have heard of the watchmakers such as Audemars Piguet and Patek Phillipe, as well as probably the most famous horological brand in the world; Rolex.

So, what makes one watch priced at $100 different from a watched priced at $50,000? Don’t all watches just tell time? Why are the watches out there that cost more than mid-sized mansion in Texas? Well, there...

We are almost at a point where there are more apps to communicate than there are area codes in the United States (well, maybe not that many, but we are close to it). Digital communication does have its benefits and that can’t be denied. You can have...
