When I discuss politics, news, or ideology with others. In my mind, there always lingers one simple question, “How does this make your life better?”
This question is important because most people do not examine their lives in real time. They are either too busy or too focused on getting some basic life need or contently distracted by all of the things provided to do exactly that. Without examination, most people will not realize how failing to ask that question of themself means failing to notice all the things in life that are preventing you from improving your material conditions.
Are you blindly following the powers that be or are you working toward an improved life?

A quick note for readers. I am not a trained journalist. I am a reader. I am a researcher. I am curious. I do my best to communicate, but I am not great at it, so this site will not likely be updated regularly, but I will do my best to stay on top of the goings ons.
The lastest from me…
Go reread my note above in case I have forgotten to update this section.

BLMedia Patreon
From time to time, we will do a show that is available to our BLMedia Patreon members first. These videos eventually go to the YouTube channel, but it is our way to show appreciation to our Patreon members to give them live access. Below is the link to our latest Patreon special, but you will have to be a paying member to access the video.
Public Square Amplified
My work as a political writer with this local, independent, non-profit newsroom has been a gift and I was awarded a Center for Cooperative Media 2025 Excellence in NJ Local News Award for one of my editorial pieces. Below is my latest published article with the outlet. You can support Public Square Amplified and independent media by contributing to the newsroom.
Book Review | Nobody Can Give You Freedom
From the piece: The book masterfully connects readers to the issues most relevant to organizing Black people across the diaspora, and more specifically the OAAU, using Malcolm X’s own words, which Andrews traveled across the UK and an ocean to research.
