Review of Emeka Ossai: More Fiction than Fact
Screenshot of Emeka’s YouTube video by J Reed If you’re a blossoming self-publisher, author or other form of writer, you’ve likely encountered information by the charismatic Emeka Ossai. Through grammatically-incorrect emails, Emeka pushes his self-publishing course called ”My Self-Publishing Blueprint.” I’ve noticed an uptick in traffic on my website to an article I wrote concerningContinueContinue reading “Review of Emeka Ossai: More Fiction than Fact”

Netflix’s American Son is an American Fail
Netflix’s American Son centers around an educated Black mother and her estranged white FBI agent husband and their son who is in trouble with the law. For the most part of the film, the audience does not much more about the son’s whereabouts other than he was pulled over by the cops with two otherContinueContinue reading “Netflix’s American Son is an American Fail”
Amber Guyger, Joshua Brown and the Thickening Plot
Days after testifying against murderous white former cop Amber Guyger in her trial for her slaying of innocent Black man Botham Jean in his own home, Joshua Brown was gunned down.

This is how forgiveness iaContinueContinue reading “Amber Guyger, Joshua Brown and the Thickening Plot”
Amber Guyger Got Away With Murder
Much as I predicted, the Dallas, TX, white former cop Amber Guyger who murdered an innocent, unarmed Black man named Botham Jean in coldblood in his home allegedly thinking she was in her own home has been sentenced to just 10 years in prison. To put this in perspective, the girl who licked the iceContinueContinue reading “Amber Guyger Got Away With Murder”
Ex-Officer Amber Guyger Found Guilty: The Quiet Before the Storm
Today, a jury unanimously decided former officer Amber Guyger had committed murder when she killed an innocent unarmed Black man inside his own home, supposedly believing it was her home. Ironically, she claimed self-defense. After instances such as LaQuan McDonald and Philando Castille, I am a pessimist. Black lives in this country are undervalued inContinueContinue reading “Ex-Officer Amber Guyger Found Guilty: The Quiet Before the Storm”
Ex-Officer Amber Guyger Will Get Away with Murdering a Man in His Own Home

In a rare move, Amber Guyger took the standContinueContinue reading “Ex-Officer Amber Guyger Will Get Away with Murdering a Man in His Own Home”
A Review of Emeka Ossai and How He Preys on Self-Publishers and Authors
During a recent search on YouTube while trying to find information on how to sell my self-published books, I came across Emeka Ossai, a charismatic young man originally from Canada who now lives in Mexico (I believe). In my opinion, Emeka is the last person you should spend your money with, if you take writingContinueContinue reading “A Review of Emeka Ossai and How He Preys on Self-Publishers and Authors”
An Ode to a Frenemy of Mine
Tom Deriggi and I came from completely different backgrounds, but, as the universe would have it, our paths intertwined. He was a heavyset guy with bright red flushed cheeks that seemed to accentuate his greyish blue eyes. Politically, we were on two opposite spectrums: Tom on the far right, arms folded, chest out; me onContinueContinue reading “An Ode to a Frenemy of Mine”
