The hypocrisy of ‘Tulsa King’ versus the upcoming third boxing installment — Any movie starring Michael B. Jordan and/or Tessa Thompson is one I’ll watch. Now add in Jonathan Majors, and it’s a definite “yes.” Although the first “Creed” was better to me than “Creed II,” I still watched the sophomore flick a fanatical amount of times and am counting down the…

Relationship coach Christie — Two years ago when I wrote “Angry, single people on dating apps: Log off ~ Tirades about how much you hate (wo)men will not get you into relationships,” I was under the impression that the reason some people didn’t survive the online dating scene (or get “Catfished”) was due to…

Why the ‘Dilbert’ cartoonist should’ve known better before he lost all that newspaper money — In my junior and senior years of high school, I made a considerable amount of money at my after-school job. I worked at a radio research firm and would survey people about the music they liked on the radio, which songs they were tired of, and find out some of…

Silence in marriage, celebration of singles — The first time I saw this (featured) photo, I smiled. It’s dope. Look at that man showing off his wedding ring and getting ready to kiss his wife.

I’ve worked in middle management. I’ve been on a condo board. I’ve been the lead editor of a few publications. In all of the above, I’ve been in charge of hiring people or companies…

While casually talking to a sista with a natural updo behind the counter, a white woman walked up to us. She immediately interrupted the sista and started explaining why…

The one relationship story my father was tickled by — I was fairly certain he was full of shit, but he was really cute and I liked his heavy New York accent. The kind of stereotypical attitude you see when New York men are featured in any movie or TV show was pretty much him. However, I raised an eyebrow…

“Love Is Blind”: Why are these TikTok girls getting 15 minutes of fame off S.K.? — In our quartet of friends, two of us were clearly closer than the other two. (If you’re a fan of “Living Single,” “Girlfriends” or HBO’s “Insecure,” that was the four of us. In that friendship dynamic, I would’ve been Khadijah, Joan or Molly.) I was fairly close with two of…
