Putting the Planet Back Together
I had some time to myself the other day, and I was thinking. Let’s say that someone, like God maybe, gave me a job to select a committee of all-star individuals that would put their heads together and come up with a plan of action to save the Planet. Who would I pick, living or dead, to serve on that committee? And, what would be my reasons for selecting the chosen few? Well, I thought about it and I came up with a list of 30 people (past and present) whom I think would do a pretty good job of “gettin’ ‘er done”. The people I have chosen to be on this hypothetical committee are listed in no particular order of importance. They simply need to be sitting somewhere around the table when the process starts. I have also included a short present-tense selection rationale for each candidate along with a photo to remind us all of their strength and character.

Black Women Imitating White Women Is Dangerous
If you’re a 90’s kid like me, you remember what was in, in terms of body type. Flat-bootied, big-chested, thin-lipped blond women were the hottest thing on the planet. We know who they are, Pamela Anderson, Tera Reid, Heather Locklear. These women were the epitome of beauty, the girlfriends of rock stars — they had it all.

Wise Words From Oprah Winfrey. Top Story - November 2021.
I have personally loved and looked up to Oprah from a very young age, even before I truly understood how amazing she is. As a young child, I and my aunt would spend an hour after dinner in her bedroom away from everyone while we indulged in our stack of Oprah magazines.

How University Coursemates Tried to Embarrass Me - Richard Mofe-Damijo
The way a person's life completely changes when they become popular is something that is very fascinating to me. It's so interesting to see how everyday people begin to get treated so differently from the rest of us simply because their face is now recognizable. The difference in treatment happens in ways you might not even imagine or might not be initially obvious until you hear celebrity horror stories.

Hollywood’s fastest rising star Actor & Director Romario Facey
What’s your name and where are you from? Also tell us a little about your background? My name is Ramario Facey. I was born in Linstead, a small town in St. Catherine, Jamaica. I have always wanted to be an actor, but where I grew up acting was considered an impossible task. At twelve years old, all my of cousins would say that they wanted to be soldiers or police officers, however when when my mother asked what I wanted to be I told her that I wanted to be an actor, and not just any actor but a Hollywood star and she got very upset because she was like, “You live in Jamaica, we live in a small country part of Jamaica to be exact.” So she thought it was an unrealistic dream and to her it seemed as though I was just trying to be an idler and using this as an excuse to waste time. She got really upset about it and I just couldn't let it go because something inside of me knew that that's what I wanted to do and that's what I was going to do because it was my passion.

WHAT IS JEET KUNE DO?
WHAT IS JEET KUNE DO? By Paul Bax Ah, the question martial artists have been asking since 7/20/1973: What is Jeet Kune Do? Readers of Bruce Lee’s own writings often find themselves asking this question despite reading various other articles and books on this very subject. Is Jeet Kune Do an actual art? Is it merely a concept that can be applied to all arts? Or is it merely a set of principles that can be used by any one physically, no matter what their chosen style is? Rather than speculate, let’s go directly to the source: the students of Bruce Lee himself!
