Recently I traveled by Uber in the Atlanta area. With over 30,000 entertainers in Atlanta, Georgia, I wondered how on earth could an Uber driver be discreet of celebrity-passenger pickup. The following are a few tips of why I believe celebrities should avoid the Uber and Lyft service whenever possible: Discretion isn't available! ALL DRIVERS IN THE AREA WILL HAVE YOUR LOCATION AND FIRST NAME. In turn, the quickest driver can choose to pick you up; first-come-first-serve basis. Uber requests first-name identity for paying. Then, the driver can address you by your name during pickup and travel time.

One of my hosted theme for February is African American Appreciation Month. The following is a quote by Reverend Jesse Jackson when interviewed by  Ebony magazine (October 2014). The interview concluded with the discussion of economic justice for blacks. I believe that the conversation is appropriate because we, last Sunday, Americans, of all racial identities, recently watched the 51st Super Bowl  (111.3 million viewers estimate for FOX reports the LA Times ). Let's compare the recent football game to the overall sportsmanship conversation led by Jackson:     "You look for jobs where you have the skill capacity to be creative and to gain leverage. Why are we so good at football, basketball and baseball?  It's because whenever the playing field is even, the rules are public, the goals are clear, referees are fair and the score transparent, we can make it.  When you think about the things that we use and consume every day, we have no leverage. ...
