What I've found in doing research is that men want a relationship that feels fun. In other words, they want a relationship that has qualities or elements of their same-sex relationships - just like women do, too.
Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship.
So many of our young women today, they're growing up without a father, but they're still thirsty for that and desiring positive male love.
I've gotten a firsthand view at the destruction that black men and black women not being able to stay and build healthy relationships has had on the black family and black children.
I think our biggest problem is lack of real, honest communication between black men and black women. A lot of men talk amongst men, and a lot of women speak amongst women.
The real important things are kindness and a sense of humor. I've been fortunate to have dated and could have easily married women who have those qualities, and time and circumstances didn't work out. Timing plays a big part.
Health is actually the foundational tool to help us live the life.
People listen for cues - when they are searching for a decision, they look to people they know. Young people can be apathetic in certain ways unless they hear from someone they like and admire about why they should be engaged and involved. If someone you love is doing a rally or concert, you may be engaged to register.
People are afraid of an unorganized, wasteful government.
Money is simply a tool to give you choices.
I'm not excusing crime or those who bring poison into the community, but I do want brothers and sisters in prison to know someone cares.
I believe that reality TV should be called 'not reality' TV; it's fiction.
You can live a healthy lifestyle and do the best to be aware of your body and conscious, and thats what I attempt to do.
Since Im in the entertainment business, I think I have to hold a mirror up to myself and say, Am I complicit in miseducating and misinforming our youth by participating in this business, or can I use this business to re-educate and uplift?
