10 Ways You Can Help the Standing Rock Sioux Fight the Dakota Access Pipeline
We have seen these protests in North Dakota play out on television for the past few months and as of yesterday, things got worse, much worse. Many of us forward thinking individuals are wondering what can we do? We know as in the quote above by the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this is a threat to us everywhere and we can't stay silent in times of oppression. Police in North Dakota Thursday moved in on hundreds of demonstrators, including members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, who were challenging the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The project threatens the area's water supply and destroys sacred Native American sites. Over 118 people were arrested as they shouted "Hands Up, Don't Shoot," sound familiar?

Celebrating Tupac Shakur’s Giving Legacy 20 Years Later!
Tupac is proof that we should never judge a book by its cover! How he was raised and where he was grew up made it hard for him to be heard. He used his voice, his words, simple poetry to tell the story of his communities' lifestyle to display what was actually happening, even today in many black communities.
Today, 20 years after his physical departure, he is one of the top selling Hip-Hop artists of all time. His gift- his words and creative talent- continues to inspire others around the world, but few know just how much he did behind the scenes to give back too. I share with you some fell good things that Pac did for others and are not often talked about. I celebrate his legacy, his music and his giving, RIP Tupac!
