Go Tell It on the Mountain

 I just had to share this. A mighty powerful gem of a movie.
 

 

 
Go Tell It on the Mountain
 
Starring:  Paul Winfield, James Bond 3rd, Olivia Cole
 
Drama - 1hr. 36 mins. 

This film adaptation of James Baldwin's celebrated novel tells the journey of a family from the rural South to "big city" Harlem seeking both salvation and understanding and of a young boy struggling to earn the approval of a self-righteous and often unloving stepfather.

My rating: 7/10

Alcohol: The Silent Killer of Inspiration, Motivation, and Community

Alcohol is deeply embedded in many cultures. It is present at celebrations, rites of passage, holidays, and even business deals. It’s marketed as a gateway to fun, relaxation, and connection. But behind this glamorized facade is a substance that has quietly but profoundly devastated lives, stripped people of their drive, and hollowed out entire communities. Alcohol doesn’t just damage health — it kills inspiration, erodes motivation, and fractures the social fabric that holds communities together.
