I’m currently dealing with the side effects of a white blood cell injection. It stimulates my bone marrow & is painful. My job is to get through the pain. Today, my close friend Myron cleaned up my profile picture. Things like this help me get through the hardest rounds. -m

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my friend, the legendary former Michigan State Track & Field head coach Jim Bibbs.
Coach Bibbs was a giant in the state of Michigan and a true trailblazer. As the first Black head coach in MSU history and the first Black head coach in the Big Ten, he opened doors that so many have walked through since. But anyone who knew him will tell you his greatest impact wasn’t measured in wins or records. It was in the lives he touched. He was a mentor, a role model, and someone who genuinely cared about the people around him, on and off the track and throughout the entire Lansing community.
Cookie and I will be praying for his family during this difficult time 🙏🏾

I finished my 4th chemo treatment. None are easy. Fortunately, I’m surrounded by friends & family who check in & lift my spirits. On one occasion, Chuck D checked in & said, “You are Black Steel,” a reference to his song, Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos. I needed that & now. -m

Was an honor to serve as MC at the Hannan Center’s 70 over Seventy awards, honoring our community’s top leaders over 70 years old. All of the awardees show us that a new chapter of life starts at 70. Was really special to award my friend, Huel Perkins with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the people of Greater Detroit.
•Detroit photographer Montez Miller began her career after a chance social media interaction with Aretha Franklin.
•Franklin hired Miller to handle her social media, prompting Miller to buy her first professional camera.
•Miller previously worked in television as a producer for BET's "Video Soul" with Donnie Simpson.
•She is now a prominent photographer in Detroit, capturing city life, sports, and high-profile events.
Detroit gives a photographer plenty to look at. The harder trick is deciding what deserves a second look.
For Montez Miller, photography can begin in that fraction of a second, when an ordinary face, gesture or corner of the city suddenly insists on becoming an image. Her camera turns looking into lingering, pulling a passing moment out of Detroit’s visual rush and asking us to stay with it.

PET CT Scan Update: The large tumor mass in my stomach is gone, along with the cancer that had spread to my bone marrow. Only a small amount remains. I’m still bald. I’m still standing, and I still have plenty of fight left in me. Love. -m
Love You Malcolm My Son! #keepmoving

Pain and suffering are companions on my journey, but make no mistake about it, they are not my friends. -m

Another walk, another mile. Considering I couldn’t walk without assistance last month. I’ll take this as a win. -m
“There’s a disconnect,”Waters told MS NOW. “Democrats really don’t even understand Black people. They are allowing the socialists,Democratic socialists, to run this party — to run it and to ruin it.”
