Thankful with a Passion!

All glory and praise belongs to God and I am thankful for all the blessings He has bestowed upon my life! 2014 has been tremendous and tumultuous in every way yet God's favor surrounds me like a shield and spreads throughout my family and friends! My creative and artsy niece told me "once upon a time there was a King named Uncle T.C." and that warmed my heart to the core. Here are a lot of the things I am thankful for despite the hard realities of everyday life.



Currently there is a Belk Bowl commercial running on Hulu and ESPN with me in it! I haven't seen it yet but it sure was a blessing doing it! Also on Sid Roth's It's Supernatural I was featured in my own African attire lifting praises to God!

Also Check out a great example of giving back by a fellow Actor/Model Cameo Crumby:

It is an honor to use my talents to shine for God's glory! With all the civil unrest currently happening in America due to the injustice of Michael Brown's shooting by Darren Wilson something has to change. No one gets away with killing in this life or the next no matter how well they explain it. This is something that happens often and everyone has had enough. MLK said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" and that truth still rings true. With that said I am for peace not violence, transparency not fear mongering, honesty not lies. God help us all.

ONE LIFE TO LIVE!

On my birthday this year Mike Brown, an unarmed teenager, was killed by Police Officer Darren Wilson. The victim was shot several times even after he lifted his hands up and his dead body laid there like road kill for hours with no arrest or charges brought up against the shooter. Despite the uproar in Ferguson Missouri justice still has not been served and probably won't be given the statistics of cases like this. Here's a message from the youth in their city to the nation:

I completely agree that there is an unresolved race issue in America that needs to be addressed and dealt with. It can't keep getting swept under the rug and dismissed without consequence. Justice will be served one way or the other and all oppressed people of color will get their day of retribution. Karma is real and God is in control so it's just a matter of time before the tables turn. Here is a historic piece I had the pleasure of playing a part in:

We all have One Life to Live so lets make the best of it and enjoy one another! I was blessed to be a part of this masterfully done hip hop album by Chieff Cloud (track 8) have a listen:

I am poetry in motion, living Art fearfully and wonderfully made. My book Deeper Than Rhymes still resonates with the times and I was inclined to share a few lines during a peaceful rally in Down town Charlotte. Photo courtesy of +Tyler Goodwell
