Manfull's Handfull

This week, I really only have one thing I wanted to write about - but first, I have to acknowledge all the women who marched this past weekend, and who took to the streets in masses to let the world know that we will NOT be silenced. As troubling as our world is, I'm extremely fortunate to live in this era where women's voices are louder than ever. The #TimesUp movement, the wage gap, and simple equality is bursting at the seams with millions of humans fighting the good fight to make this world a better, more equal place for all. As my friend Spence said in a drunken, but very sincere video, "Do you think women and men should be treated equal? Then you're a feminist. I'm a feminist. We should all be feminists". No truer words have been spoken my friend, we should all be feminists. I also want to say that as of a few hours ago, disgraced USA gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar, has officially been silenced. He abused, molested, and destroyed the inno...

Look at me, back at it again for the second week?! It's like a whole new me. I'm still working on getting the 1st podcast up for the 2018 year, but hold tight- I foresee it happening this week (maybe). But lets focus on the here and now, and the things I've had thoughts on this week. MUSIC: I was scrolling through Facebook the other day when I came across an America's Got Talent audition. I've seen a few before, but I don't normally pay much attention to them. For some reason I let the video begin to play and by the end I was reaching for the tissues. It started out by a woman introducing herself, Mandy Harvey  (link to the whole video), and that she was there to sing. Judge Simon Cowell, asked who the person standing next to him was...to which Mandy replied, "That's my sign language interpreter". You see, Many lost her hearing 10 years ago, but she is still able to sing. Instead of hearing the sound, she feels it through the soles of her shoele...

With the new year just kicking off, everyone is anticipating what the next 365 days will bring. Couldn't be worse than 2017, amirite? With this thought, I decided I would jump back on my computer and weekly(ish) write about the things I love, loathe, and have levitated toward that week. Not that anyone truly cares about my opinion, it's more of an open journal to share with the people of the interwebs. So, I bring to you what the start of 2018 has brought to me: 1. GRL PWR. If you've been living under a rock the past few months I suggest it's time you dig yourself out. We are living in a righteous time to be a female. The #MeToo and #TimesUp movement ran full force last night at the Golden Globes and if you didn't get emotional, or feel empowered, you have zero soul. In the wake of the heinous "discovery" that women are sexually harassed/abused by their "industry professionals" and that for years equal work has not received equal pay, there is...
