Today at 7:15 PM I’ll be on “The Daily Drum” which broadcasts locally in Washington DC on WHUR 96.3 & nationally on H.U.R. Voices Sirius XM Channel 141 to have a conversation on “ Why Are So Many Black Men Single.” If you have time, please check me out. Before going on the show, [...]
Nobody’s relationship is perfect. If anything, it’s perfectly imperfect. It’s hard to have an easy relationship because there are so many factors at play and trying to get two people to come together in agreement is hard work. We all know couples who have their problems; they’re always arguing or they’re always breaking up and [...]
Typically, the face of cheating is male. Also, the face of being too old for the club is male. A new article suggests that in addition to men, an increasing number of women are doing the same. I’ve always wondered how women who are robbed of their twenties because of children and the duties of [...]
In other news… Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose are engaged. And now for unsolicited Dr. J thoughts… This goes to show you what you can do when you stop worrying about what people think about you and go out there and just achieve. If Amber listened to everybody who was a hater in her life, [...]

Some people use categories such as; associates, acquaintances, homies, friends, or whatever other terms they develop to explain their relationship with a person, but I use expectations. For this very reason, there are many [...]
I Worry. If I don’t grind hard enough, I won’t be rich. If I don’t set at least 2 alarms, I’ll miss my flight. Sh*t happens and I try hard to make sure it doesn’t happen to me. Now I find myself about to get married. I am about to commit the rest of my [...]
I always knew I would get married. But Jay lied to you. I didn’t see her across a room and think “I’m going to marry that”. I did not envision our kids before I knew her name. Marriage was the furthest thing from my mind … 90% of men are slowly drug into marriage, usually [...]
