Recently, I have made mention of the fact that my email has never been more flooded with personal messages than when I posted twice on racial issues. Make that twice in one week. There are too many to count. In fact, I don’t have a count, but I am saving them for when I can [...]
I’m not going to put anyone personally on blast and I’m sparingly linking in this post because the larger context  is more important than pointing fingers and forcing one person or a community to answer for what I’m feeling passionate about right now. However, I am using some of the wording I’ve seen written about [...]
As I watch the story unfold about the Arkansas student Kymberly Wimberly I find myself uneasy about the facts being reported and how they’re slowly coming out, but I’m watching with great interest. The best possible newsworthy article I have seen thus far is this one by Jeneba Ghatt of The Washington Times. The short [...]
*Attention, Language Police: I’m only quoting other people here.* **But I quote myself when I call my boyfriend “The Cuban” because I simply refuse to use his real name.** Last summer I wrote about having tried to get through Kathryn Stockett’s book The Help and I could barely finish it.

Look, it’s been a long couple of weeks. We have some big life changes going on over here at Mocha Momma Headquarters and that doesn’t even include shutting down a school year that is trying to eat me alive. So, I have been absent lately just about everywhere and yesterday when I checked Twitter and [...]

A while back I moved around some things in an effort to re-design and then life just kept [...]
Since the domain name lapsed on this here blog this week I had some scrambling to do to get it back. Since the someone who originally bought it failed to pass on the reminder notices to me is the person notorious for never getting back to me on big issues so therefore why would I [...]
I’d love to say that I’ve spent time this week resting and healing, but I am just not the kind of person who wants to be away from my students so I have worked every day so far. However, I promise that I come home, take my medicine and promptly fall asleep because whatever it [...]
Are you excited to see this new movie? I know, I am showing my Nerd Card when I wear it on my sleeve like this, but I just don’t get into the reality tv shows and I’m not interested in Dancing With the Stars nor can I commit to any television that is an hour [...]
Nothing pains me more as a patriotic American than when people in our country forget our history. To that end, I present Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech which he delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on this date 47 years ago. That’s all I want to post today. I only ask that [...]
