Face true enemies.

Hey, has anyone been to Martha’s Vineyard in August? I ain’t never been, but I think it would be a great place for a Divine Nine book signing.

Happy Groundhog Day! Emerging and don’t see my shadow because it’s Summer in LA. Hope you all are well and looking after yourselves. Sending Meta love. ✌️

In a nation where efforts to deny Black contributions to world history are ever rising, I’m more committed than ever to sharing our stories. Last week, I was honored to speak with over 300 students across 10 classes about the Tuskegee Airmen’s contributions to Double Victory in WWII. My grandfather was an original Tuskegee Airman and took the…

What’s on your mind other than we have a criminal as president leading a criminal federal government?

Hey all,

I looked in my garage, and I have a billion books, so I’m going to finally open the marketplace on TMS. You’ll be able to upload whatever you’re selling, but know that you may get inundated with a bunch of books for sale…cheap! I want them gone. More later.

Hey all,

I’m looking to create a list of Black businesses to put in a giant nationwide directory on the site. Can you go me a favor and list businesses, no matter where they are, and just add the name and the city. I can look them up. Particularly looking for LA Black businesses, but not exclusively.

Hey y’all,

I’ve had my head down trying to finish my Divine Nine rewrite before the end of the month, so I haven’t had much time to interact on the Metaphor Club platform, but that will change after I’m done. Going to have some discussions, and if we can get enough engagement, some author talks via Zoom. So do me a favor, come each day and…

Our first Zoom Happy Hour for TheMetaphorClub.com is happening this Friday at 5:00 p.m. PT. If you can make it, holler at me. Instead of drinking, I think I’ll roll with some Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. I love beer as much as the next person, but I’m just not in the mood for it.

This Happy Hour will be a great chance for folks to get to know…

I’m just here to note that when the Metaphor Club closed (breaking all of our hearts in the process), I was the reigning Monopoly champion.

I taught @alpha1906 and @lawrence-gilliam how to lose like gentlemen.

Today, we’re continuing to sell items from the club. If you need anything, or if you have friends who are in need, tell them to stop by the club, 4333 Crenshaw, between 9am to 4pm. I’ll be there wheeling and dealing!

Here are the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ unemployment figures by race. Note that Black unemployment is double white unemployment, and Black unemployment, particularly among Black men, is leaping off the page. That’s what we saw in the club.

Please be patient as we seed the site over the next month. As new people come on, we’ll start developing relationships. But feel free to post what’s on your mind, why you’re here, and what’s happening in your life. We really are interested. And it’s how strangers get to know you…and stop being strangers.

Welcome to the Metaphor Club social online community. If you’re wondering what the point of this is, it’s not to just create another social media platform. It’s to humanize the experience. That doesn’t mean that we have to agree on things, or we can’t have vigorous debates, but what happens if you lead with selflessness, generosity, and…
