I had just walked into the house. It was late. 11:30PM late. My girlfriend and I had marched for hours with thousands of New Yorkers in support of the family in Ferguson. I was proud of my city.

Because of the bullet that shot out of George Zimmerman’s gun, his life was blown out before he could blow out […]
I still feel it in my bones. The electricity. The power of releasing every ounce of energy in your body! The energy of Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons when the “m.A.A.d city” beat dropped (and made Taylor Swift dance uncontrollably) at the Grammy Awards still pounds in my chest. It was a hell of a […]
What better way to spend the holidays than giving back to the people? That’s exactly what happened when GlobalGrind’s EIC, Michael Skolnik, teamed up with Tamika Mallory, Marvin Bing and Preserve Our Legacy to host the first “Christmas In Harlem” Holiday Gift Giveaway and Community Dinner to bring holiday cheer to Harlem’s citizens in need. “It’s […]
