Season Nine isn’t just pop culture commentary — it’s African American history, women’s history, and personal history, told through the shows, music, and movies that raised us. Guests, deeper dives, same fun.
Season 9 Starting Soon
Art of the Month
Nolan represents all the young African American men who have died too young. Hate is taught and cultivated like fine wine. Surely, God will send karmic results to the purveyors of this.
My Work
My work has been shown at Pullman National Monument, Evanston Library, and CAB Art Gallery — and published in Obsidian, The Argyle Literary Magazine, and Levitate. That same care and craft goes into every commission I take on.
This isn’t just art. It’s preservation.

Dancing During the Storm
Everyone is somewhere in a storm — heading into one, standing in the middle of one, or just now finding their way out. Dancing During the Storm is a collection of six powerful stories that dares to ask: what does it look like to praise God anyway?
Drawn from projects written over the years, these tales follow characters who refuse to let life’s storms have the final word. They laugh, they fight, they fall apart and rebuild — and through it all, they choose to live fully.
Meet the first man to ever face a storm, and discover how it reshaped his world. Step into a courtroom where a Victim, a Juror, and a Judge are forever changed by a single trial — one that breaks their old ways of thinking even as it prepares them for what’s ahead. Journey across the stars with a young woman escaping a planet that felt like hell, only to find that peace isn’t as simple as she hoped. Stand between two women on a divided world teetering on the edge of war, where one decision could mean unity — or it could mean treason, or slavery, for every woman on the planet. And watch two bullets shatter the charmed life of a man who never had to work for anything — until now.
Six stories. Six storms. Six people who kept dancing anyway.
Fun. Fierce. Thought-provoking. Read between the lines, and you’ll find something deeper waiting for you.

People ask me why I create what I create
Because our history deserves to be told by us. Because our beauty deserves to be seen by us. Because the next generation deserves to inherit stories, not silence.
