Finals are over, I am at home, watching the Steelers game for the first time all year and decided to put out some blog posts that I have been sitting on for awhile. I now realize why it takes Artists a little longer to put out their projects, and push back release dates, delay tours etc. because it takes time. Experiences are Golden, that is one thing I have learned in my journey through life.
One of the first courses I took when I got to college was African American Studies 39E with Professor Quame and we read two books that changed...

[Black Cooperative Economics] Sh*t Black People Should Do
It is a low down dirty shame that it took 18 years and my 2nd semester of College to actually learn about my people, Black People. Why is this? Well the injustices in the system of public education will be another Berkeley Storm post. But this post is dedicated to one of my favorite classes I have taken at Cal, African American Studies 5b with Professor Robert Allen. By writing this paper I learned that writing is a process, I remember when I used to intern for Assemblymember Anthony Portantino (44th District) he told me that "Writing is...

The Berkeley Storm
Shortly, I will be changing the name of the blog from "The Berkeley Experience" to "The Berkeley Storm". When I started my freshmen year I found myself having a lot of intellectual conversations.

As I was enjoying these conversations, I noticed they really weren't going anywhere, it was "Intellectual Masturbation" as one of my Afro Professors put it. Simply having conversation to feel good, but I continue to ask myself, "what are you going...

Quiet Before The Revolution
I am realizing that my world is gaining consciousness everyday. The people in my life are striving to expose the tricks of the system that has been made to destroy us. I see it more everyday with Facebook "memes" exposing political scandals and simply critiquing society. Also conversing with my peers, I am sure this is the generation of revolution. I am excited to go into my summer at Berkeley and take the steps necessary to continue on my journey that God has set forth me.

2nd Semester College Update
I am excited to update you all on my journey through College.
I have now completed my 1st year at UC Berkeley and I am having a wonderful experience I have met so many people here who are on the same accord with my thinking (and some who are not). I have been very engaged in my African American Studies class this semester where I have learned a lot about my culture, and where my people actually came from. I am now considering including African American Studies in my major.
At Berkeley, there's an opportunity...
