Just a few days ago, the NY Times had an editorial piece on an issue that I like to say (and the paper I formerly worked with) I brought to their attention three years ago.
After I wrote about this topic for the NY Amsterdam News, guys like Errol Louis at the NY Daily News [...]

I remember when I used to go out a lot whether it be to a restaurant, function, or even a bar or lounge, one question I always tried to avoid asking people is:

I’m 25 years old.
I’m not someone who you would think of as an intern at this age. But I am a part-time one.

Now listen… whatever I write here goes.
Read this slowly. I just want to make sure it all sinks in.

You do not think for yourself. I repeat, you do not think [...]

Today, I decided to invite one of my close friends, who is a NYC teacher to take on this interesting NPR Article.
I felt there was no better person to reach out to than him. Why? Because he’s been teaching and dealing with Dominican kids and parents for close to 4 years now.
I [...]

‘Why couldn’t they just let them come ashore?’
Those were the words of my Haitian friend when news broke of a vessel with over 100 Haitians cap-sizing off the coast of the Turks and Caicos Islands early last week. It was the fourth such confirmed tragedy to occur in the last three years.
In total, close [...]

I’d like to announce that I was recently brought on as an editor for popular sports website Bleacherreport.Com.
If you know about sports journalism, you’d know that Bleacher Report is the top destination on the net for aspiring sports writers. It averages 3.6 million visitors a day and has over 600 daily articles published from across [...]
