Simunyé: The Color of Friendship
On the night of my seventh birthday, February 5, 2000, Disney Channel premiered their latest original television movie titled The Color of Friendship. Now if you were a 90’s kid like me then you would of course remember that in the late 90’s and early 2000’s Disney TV was some of the best and most watched television around and still is today. One of the most watched segments of Disney Channel is DCOM, which stands for Disney Channel Original Movie. The Color of Friendship was one of their earliest original movies, it was also one of their best and most impactful titles because of it’s true story and social commentary.

Hi. I bet you wanna know my name, well I’ve got news for you, I don’t have a name. I’m not a person, I’m actually just a piece of property. An important piece of property I might add, but I don’t think my owner caught that newsflash. I am a wallet and if you haven’t been living on planet earth for well, ever, then you should know that I house some of the most important belongings for my owner including: a driver’s license, money, credit cards, state issued ID’s, even MVP cards for when you wanna knock a couple of dollars and cents off some of that high priced food you’re likely to purchase at food lion.

Winter’s Icing
Well here I am. Just a little kid reveling in the last day of winter. It is also not lost to me that on this final day of winter we were given a snow day. Though it is cloudy and the fluffy white snow is still here, in a matter of minutes the clouds will fade away and the sun will be out. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sun and the heat, it’s actually my favorite time of the year, but there’s just something about the snow that I’ll always have a soft spot for.

Kings Never Die
Hello Dr. King. My name is Joseph Patterson. We’ve never met before, but we do know each other and I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I wanna write you a letter for your birthday and tell you about how we’ve been doing down here since that fateful day you left us back in 1968. First off I just wanna let you know I really look up to you and admire you. Though I’ve always shared more in the views of the brother Malcolm X, I admire you and respect you just as much because at the end of the day we needed you both equally, especially Black people. So you might be wondering what the world has been up to since you’ve been gone, well that’s a lot to unpack, but I’ll keep it simple.
