The KitchenCooking Experience Presented Love At First Bite Lovers Hall in Monroe LA on February 14, 2023. Love at first bite has really always been a thing to me. I figured now was the time to bring it to fruition. I saw a need in our community that was nonexistent. We don't have a place of our own where we can sit and dine enjoy OURSELVES and experience nice vibes. I came up with love at first bite just to do that among couples. The love at first bite experience was definitely a chance to get...

There is an adage that states, “You never know where you are going unless you know where you have been.” In the spirit of Black history month, the Monroe Dispatch will highlight stories and the history of Blacks that are not commonly known. Blacks have made many significant contributions to the world, and one of our most significant contributions is culture and vernacular. One can not study African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) without consideration of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which brought Africans to America and neighboring ter...

Leviticus 19:4 Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God. There is a new age trend, that’s not so new to some. It is a destructive and very controversial trend (as it should be), and it’s growing more each day. Many of our youth are flirting with darkness, and before they can make it to the light, it may be too late. The Word of God instructs us to lead the next generation in the ways of God. We should, of course, because who’s more right or righteous than...

There is an adage that states, “You never know where you are going unless you know where you have been.” In the spirit of Black history month, the Monroe Dispatch will highlight stories and the history of Blacks that are not commonly known. The end of the civil war between the Union and the Confederacy brought newfound opportunities for Blacks in America. The Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 signaled Blacks in the U.S. were no longer required to work for free as enslaved people. Although enslaved people wer...
The father of Black History, Mr. Carter G. Woodson, said, " When you control a man's thinking you don't have to worry about his actions". Colors have been used to manipulate our thoughts and behaviors since we were first introduced to them. In this poem, I am attempting to shed some light on this plot and hopefully dispel some of the myths associated with colors thereby freeing our minds for more constructive thoughts about ourselves. As Dr. king once said, "Somebody told a lie one day about...

Fifty-Five years ago, it wasn't possible to elect African-American state legislators, U. S. congresspersons, senators, governors, presidents, and now Hakeem Jeffries, from Brooklyn N.Y, who has been elevated to the position of Minority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives. Fifty-Five years ago, it wasn't possible to dream that the City of Monroe would see an African-American mayor and majority city council, and perhaps one day its first female mayor. All things are possible to him that...
Hello everyone! This week I will be discussing things being unfair. As you get older, you start to realize, wow, sometimes things aren't fair. Today I will be discussing how things are unfair in the academic world. 1. Someone gets a higher score than you, and you've done the work yourself. I've seen this happen many times, you do the work, spend your time on it, and someone gets a higher grade than you, and they didn't do even close to the amount of work you've done, but their grade is still...

Without argument, anyone who knows anything about productivity in a city, would agree that a city cannot properly produce without the following: great vision, quality of life, satisfactory infrastructure, equity, environmental sustainability and unity. Anyone running a city, knows that social inclusion is a must. Though there will always be some who pull strings in government (because of status), they should never be allowed to do so to the point, that a city as a whole suffers, just to honor th...
Recent national news outlets shared the miraculous story of a young man who was lost at sea but rescued by his family hours after going missing. The man was on a diving trip off the coast of Key West, FL with several others when the current simply separated him from his group and he began to drift further and further away from the boat. In his story he shared that his found a piece of bamboo that he clung to until he found two mooring balls out in the sea that he held onto until he was spotted by his family about two hours later. Many are...
Psalms 139:14 I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvelous are Your works; and that my soul knows very well. There is an undeniable desire in humans, for acceptance amongst peers and those of our circle of influence. Individuals seek approval in various ways, in everyday life. We all want to believe at some point, that what we feel or believe is worthy of the acceptance of others. This is normal, but when others’ acceptance becomes such a desire, that it turns into a d...

Acts 13:47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. Today’s generation is all about the glitter, glitz and gold. Many want the spotlight. People are becoming more devalued, and dead things, that can’t comfort, heal or love, are what the highest value is being placed upon. If one isn’t claiming to be a boss, it’s like he/she has no significance. This world is more material than anythin...
Depression is a state of mind that can be caused by the realization that our lives are not unfolding as we envisioned it would. Our moods can be influenced by the interaction with others and what they say to us which may alter normal behaviors such as the desire to eat. We must guard our minds and spirits against those negative energies that can rob us of the positive vibrations needed to fulfill our destinies. I "rolled" (wrote) this "joint" (poem) so we can "smoke" (read) it to gain the strength and courage to resist and fight back against...

(VENGEANCE IS MINE SAYS THE LORD) Romans 12:17-19 As we enter into the New Year, it is important that we do not bring any bagage with us from 2022 and previous years that will hinder us from accomplishing our goals and receiving the blessings that we are expecting in 2023. Unforgiveness is a burden that is carried by those of us who refuse to release the deeply seated anger, bitterness and even hatred toward someone that has done us wrong. These strong emotions are usually valid and appear to be justified due to what has been done to us, but...
