(BALTIMORE – February 23, 2025)—Black History is every day. For me, it’s about my ancestors and all of the brilliance that has come from our collective. At this stage in my career, I think about my own legacy. I have always wanted it to be about helping and supporting Black people. So, I will begin sharing lessons intended for Black nonprofit leaders. What I share may not be relevant to some, and that’s okay. I can’t begin to share any of the lessons until I share the most painful one of my career. It was an effort that I thought related…

(JACKSONVILLE, FL – February 10, 2025) – Last night’s halftime show wasn’t boring or trash. It simply went over your heads. Just admit you are asleep—we’ll keep praying for you. Here’s What You Missed: The message was clear: Black people have always been expected to entertain THEM —those who aren’t LIKE US—just to keep THEM from being bored. THEY would’ve preferred Lil Wayne on stage, high and reckless, pushing Drake (aka the system’s poster child) to promote THEIR agenda. But Kendrick? He sent a message Wayne never could. It started with an American flag built out of Black bodies—symbolizing how…

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – February 10, 2025 – TriceEdneyWire.com) – “I don’t know who you are and I don’t know why you like this guy (Trump). I think what you like about him; he appears to be strong and the rest of us are weak… That’s what he’s selling…Here’s what you’re buying…He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for… He’s the ISIL man of the year.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on CNN 2015 There are periods in history… epochs, distinctive periods…

(CHARLOTTE, NC – February 4, 2025) – We’ve all been there—stuck, waiting for the “right time” or the “right person” to change the game for us. But here’s the truth: No one is coming to save you. And that’s the best news ever. Because it means the power is yours. 💪🏾 The real boss move? Accountability. When you own your actions, you stop waiting and start winning.  🎯 Boss Moves Edition Alright, let’s be real. We’ve all been there—waiting. Waiting for the promotion, the perfect timing, the right person to swoop in and fix things. But here’s the truth: no…

(BALTIMORE – February 4, 2025) – I didn’t write this post on my own—I was led to write it. There will be no cavalry coming to “save us.” There was none for my ancestors. They did what had to be done—for their families and neighbors. Today, as I sat in Morningstar Baptist Church, Woodland—attending morning service and evening Communion—I looked around at my church family, including Bishop Debnam and Lady Carla. I was struck by our unity, shared faith, and the Pastor’s reminder that our history is one of resilience—of people who, no matter what, stood firm in the strength…

(BALTIMORE – January 27, 2025) – The federal government, as the largest employer in the United States and in every single state, has long carried the responsibility of setting an example for equity and fairness in hiring practices. However, this duty has been upended by the actions of the Trump administration, which, through a series of executive orders and directives, has dismantled diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives under the guise of combating “discrimination.” These actions truly achieve not a restoration of fairness but an institutionalization of bias that undermines the progress toward equality in federal employment. The first…

(BALTIMORE – January 6, 2025) – I’d like to share some highlights from the Black Wall Street Empowerment Summit on Saturday, where I had the honor of participating in an award ceremony and listening to an incredible guest speaker panel. Key Takeaways: ++ Advocacy and Community Impact: We must stay committed to ensuring our local neighborhoods receive the resources and funding needed for healthy, thriving communities. + The Power of Networks: As Charlyn Nater shared, supporting one another in our journeys creates a full-circle process—what we give to our network comes back to us. She is passionate about advocating for…
