💩Melanin: What makes Black People Black! 💩

I'll be honest, this book gets a 4/10 review from me. I don't like how the author took facts from so many scientific books and online articles, just to compile them in a journal and makes ties to how it applies to the black race.

I'm not discrediting anything that was said in the book, but that's only because it's common knowledge in the science/ biology world. The excessive use of secondary research in this journal was enough. What took it over the edge was how the author Afrika attempted to make teaching points from this second type of information. After a while, it starts to feel like the entire book was a result of Copy and Paste.

Llaila Afrika did a great job in displaying and explaining the information. If this was an attempt to teach a 3rd grader the specifics of molecules and particles, she would do a great job. However, I feel like I was waiting for those personal points of connection that would apply to black people as a whole. All I saw was secondary information that I've come across in other places and read online. Again, 4/10 is my review but still feel free to check it out.

Thank you - Pancho

My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be. I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with. After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers. Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry. The gig as a clinical account represent...

Reviews by Pancho @ "Stop Being Niggardly" By Karen Hunter

🙉Stop Being Niggardly🙉 In this small-sized book, the author Karen Hunter ties a lot of great points to how the African American community fails themselves through the common things that have been done over centuries. Hunter uses a list of things that were originally written by Nannie Burroughs to compare and contrast just how far black people as a whole have come since the ending of slavery. During her statements, she holds absolutely nothing back - reflecting not only on her upbringing but the upbringing of other black people through her own eyes. Hunter shows the audience a true but heartbreaking reality of black communities, their intentions, and their small goals. Oftentimes, these things that African American communities are so used to are the exact same thing that continues to plague more and more of the generations being brought up. In the middle of the book, a brief historical moment is explained how some of the most notorious black figures harmed their peopl...
