by Terry Faulkner Aug 7 · 6 min read So much of what we see on the news and social media is divisive, hateful, and dishonest. To ease much of the dread we experience daily, I’d like to put the spotlight elsewhere. In this edition of Professional Women of Color, let me tell you about…
109 Cigars
I went to La Casa del Habano where I found the Conde 109 Cuban cigars which are rolled specifically in Cancun. What a serendipitous moment it was! The number 109 is only the name of the cigar. Outside the name of the cigars, the number has no significance I was told. Yet that’s bullshit because…
Alfredo Sanchez Regresa
Durante un pandemia, es necesario llevar una mascara y llave los manos muchas veces. Viajar durante para estadounidenses es posible pero las opciones son limitados. Mexico es el único país donde estadounidenses pueden visitar sin limitados. Por lo tanto, Alfredo regresa a Mexico por sol, comida, cultura, y un lección historia. Las vistas son hermosas…
An Echo of Marti
During my travels through Cuba, I learned about the life of José Marti. Upon arriving back home to Los Angeles, I discovered that there is a statue dedicated to Marti in Echo Park, which was erected to commemorate his life as well as the contributions to American society of Cuban immigrants. José Marti was a…
A Short Story: Part One
Mundane. Routine. That morning was just like any other for him. It was about 6am when he awoke from his slumber only to instinctively reach for the cellphone that lay half a foot away from his head.

A Good Day to Protest
I learned about the protest last minute, but I still made it a point to participate.

My participation in all things Ethiopian in Los Angeles spans…

Friday The 13th
Neither Coronavirus nor rain deterred me from venturing to the local Ethiopian eatery, Yordano’s, to have a healthy meal of injera, lentils, and salad. I even opted to have the trout with the veggie combo. Though my appearance hints at one of Ethiopian descent, my inability to carry a conversation in Amharic suggests otherwise. However,…
Poetry Recital
Here I am reciting the most recent version of the poem entitled 109. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWnQt5ONJ7s
109: What’s It All About?
Here are several short videos about 109. I have found these numbers all over the world under peculiar circumstances. For instance, just hours after posting my 1090th photo to Instagram, I walked around the corner from the hotel where I was staying in Madrid, Spain, and happened upon this car (pictured below). It is my…
