…I’m slightly coming down from the high I’ve been in for a month now. I’ll probably jump back to being high again because of the episodes I’ve been producing…and what I have in mind.
If I could have more time…while resting…that’ll be great…but who said it’ll be easy? *waits on no one to reply*
I’m thankful to everyone who sent their warm blessings to me about the show. I’m thankful to everyone who gets a chance to listen to it. I’m thankful to WJCT/JME for the opportunity. I’m thankful for all of the practices I’ve done to get to this point.
You can listen to The Neighborhood show HERE on Saturday nights at 9pm.
Enjoy the show, Neighbors.
I’m byke (for Duval County) and back (for the world). Season 6. Ah man. Here’s an introductory of what’s about to happen this go ‘round. It’ll be the same moves, but more artistic flow to it.

September 11th, 2001 will forever be a memorable moment in history. The 9/11 attacks on the United States has been dubbed as one of the worst events to occur. We send respects and prayers to everyone that was affected by the situatOn the flip, Jay Z released ‘The Blueprint’ album on the same day. This project was received well with hits like ‘Izzo’, ‘Takeover’, and more.
On the 22nd anniversary, I took time to share why September 11th, 2001 was memorable to me and how these events will be close to my heart. Enjoy.

…interesting. I used Chat GPT to come up with the description of the unfortunate racial shooting that happened in my city. I’m not THAT much of a political person, so this doesn’t sound like me. On the flip, the words are meant.
Blessings to my city, the community New Town, the people on the frontline, Duval County, and everyone that is feeling hopeless. I do see some light but I’m getting my thoughts out on this so I can be sane. Power.
Title: Tragedy Strikes Jacksonville, Florida: Racial Shooting Claims Lives
On August 26, 2023, the city of Jacksonville, Florida was rocked by a devastating incident of racial violence. It is with heavy hearts that we report the tragic shooting that reverberated through the community, leaving lives shattered and an indelible mark on the city. In this senseless act, innocent individuals were targeted solely due to their race, a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted prejudices that still plague our society. As the community mourns the loss of lives and grapples with the aftermath of this horrific event, it serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for unity, understanding, and a collective effort to battle against racism in all its forms.
A Fly Socks & Tees update for the Neighbors and Groovers who listen. I’ll make it public when further details get concrete.
P.S. I’m totally cool with the decision I made. Bless up.
It’s the birthday, so I’m doing an obvious birthday show *laughs*. Here’s a quick 5:45am reflection. Thank you to everyone who is listening to this and has sent blessings. Be great to yourself and to others.
Here's a quick word about how we question and second guess ourselves when it comes to the beautiful work we create...and we end up not letting it go for the world to adore. These words are confirmation that I go through it often, but I have to just throw it out and let it breathe.
Someone mentioned that when you do work, you might not get that instant appreciation from people. It might come a year from now...or even 20 years from now. That sat with me...along with some content I need to quit playing around with and throw out *laughs*. So yes creator...you got it and we appreciate your work. We'll support it when you release it. We're standing with you.
Power.

Peace to the Content Creators of Color family and their support they lend to me. This was a general conversation in our daily Clubhouse room. Waffle House came up and it went from there. We joked about a typical experience at the restaurant: from the cooks coming back from break late to the drinks with no straws *laughs*!
Do you feel like you're speaking to a wall or to an open sky and no one answers or acknowledges? I share some thoughts on this and how detrimental it could be to a community builder, manager, or anyone that's in position to be an ear to someone.
