Recently I’ve been reflecting on my three-decade journey as a weightlifter. What I think many people don’t realize is that lifting is more than physical exercise; it’s a spiritual endeavor. For me, the gym is a sanctuary, akin to worshipping in a church. My workout routine is both meditative and soul nourishing. These reflections inspired me to create a short film titled The Sculptor’s Dream as a meditation on the spiritual and artistic elements of weight training.

Reflecting on patience in 2024, I share lessons from setbacks and reveal why "manifest" is my word for 2025. Join the journey!

Every year, I choose a word that I believe will define the coming year. This year's word is patience.

In honor of Black History Month, I assembled some unpublished stories from my interview with Dr. Bernard Lafayette, a Civil Rights leader.

Every New Year's Eve, a friend of mine chooses a word that defines the coming year. My word for 2023 is freedom.
