CAN YOU FORGIVE?
Actor/Rapper Will Smith apologizes for hitting Comedian/Actor Chris Rock.
|
|
I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself. It has less to do with what somebody else did as much as it does with your decision to move on with your life and not be continually victimized by rehearsing that issue or incident over and over again.
Bishop T. D. Jakes

“True transformation starts with forgiveness. Forgiveness is not an occasional act but a permanent attitude.”
Rev. Bernice King
|
|
“You cannot make a person open up to you and accept your forgiveness. When you have wronged somebody, and you know you have wronged them, your duty is to repent and ask for forgiveness.”
Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan

OUR VOICES
The Needs of American Citizens vs.
Support for Ukraine
|
By Dr. John E. Warren
There is no question that the United States and its allies around the world are committed to supporting the Ukraine people. We have demonstrated this by the amount of aid and relief already sent, and that which the American people collect and send daily. But while we help our friends and neighbors abroad, we must not neglect the needs here at home. To this end, let this be a reminder to the members of the U.S. Senate and the Congress who voted to send $40 billion dollars to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

GEMINI RIGHTS APPEALS TO HEARTBREAK WHILE KEEPING ENERGY ALIVE |
By Angelina Liu
Entertainment Editor - The Trendsetter
The indie bedroom pop meets R&B album Gemini Rights, by singer Steve Lacy describes the epitome of heartbreak. The struggles of codependency and discontentment in relationships are highlighted throughout the 10 tracks, accompanied with yearning guitar strings and upbeat synths. This album encapsulates the fun, fresh feeling of summer, almost tricking the listener into thinking it’s just that. However, upon listening closely to the lyrics, one can understand the album is based on the many intricacies of tender heartbreak.

NNPA Newswire/BlackPressUSA
By Sherri Kolade, Michigan Chronicle
After just over a year of leading the United Autoworkers Union (UAW), Ray Curry, a North Carolina native and president of the UAW (since June 28, 2021) is seeking re-election. Since taking the helm from then-UAW President Rory L. Gamble last year after his retirement, Curry told the Michigan Chronicle that his tenure has been marked by great transformation and, simultaneously, much-needed continuity.

The Path
As we walk through life's journey, we leave footprints. Some just show where we are going. Others redirect us when we get lost. Still others remain to guide those we leave behind. I see your footprints.
Will you/they see mine?
