Closed on my #FortWorth home. 🏠 It was built from the Ground up with a Prayer Chamber in it. Pray For Ft. Worth is not just a Laptop 💻 Sticker or a marketing campaign. Prayer is a commitment & I dedicate this space to seeking God’s face in prayer. @PrayForFtWorth is a calling.

This is why the Black Church should be a curriculum in every University, Seminary & College. I also believe that African American Worship should also be a course in the music department as an elective for Music Majors. I can’t stop listening to this. These college students are 🔥

This chior is one of the best college choirs in the country @lipscomb and they are my new favorite. Thanks to @aaronhowardphd for the work that he’s doing as a director to teach, train, and integrate African American Worship & the Black Church in the academy is phenomenal.

Whenever I see Beth Moore being a worldwide trending topic without even looking I automatically assume that she’s being attacked by old white men who use the word “Woke” out of context. Why they just won’t let that woman be and leave her alone?

RIP to Rico Wade. There’s definitely no Southern Hip-Hop without this pioneer. Organized Noize brought us one of the biggest movements in the City through the Outkast, Goodie Mob, and Dungeon Family era. May his legacy live forever.

This is crazy to see all of the success & impact that Deion Sanders has had at Jackson State but in this blogs they call JSU a lower level job or just a stepping stone kinda job is baffling to me. What if someone called your job a lower level job? HBCU’s are not =less than❗️

These college students took it to a whole new level. They are the Mississippi State Univ. Black Voices Campus Choir in Starkville. This is why I believe that the Black Church should be a curriculum in all Universities & African American worship should be a music course as well.

If Deion Sanders stays at Jackson State it will be the first HBCU that gets invited to play in a Power 5 Conference. Will be the 1st HBCU to play in a major conference with other D1 Universities. The marketing ability of Deion, ticket sales, TV time makes JSU an attractive target

I don’t think no coach in the country can out recruit Deion Sanders. I have never ever witnessed this many high profile athletes choose to go play football 🏈 at an HBCU. These kids are flipping from Power 5 Universities to attending HBCU’s. That’s major and I love it.
