I wrote a children’s book for kids who’ve lost a parent—because I’ve been there. When I was almost six years old, I discovered my mother In Her bed, passed away. It was a life-altering moment that shaped who I am, and ever since, I’ve felt a deep calling to support children navigating the same kind of loss. This book is part of that mission—created to offer comfort, understanding, and hope to kids who need it most.

I used to run my own magazine called 6Magazine—a football-meets-hip-hop culture publication that was basically Slam Magazine for the gridiron. We were part of the Complex Magazine Network, blending style, swagger, and sports in a way that hadn’t been done before. I also wrote for Complex directly—check out one of my favorite pieces, “Is No Helmet and No Pads the Future of Tackle Football?”
One of my all-time favorite publications was Grantland—smart, sharp, and way ahead of its time. I was lucky enough to write for them and even got to interview the legendary Barry Switzer. The result? A wild, unfiltered ride titled “32 Minutes and 42 Seconds with Barry Switzer.” Easily one of the coolest assignments I’ve ever had.
Here’s a blog post I wrote for Sports Illustrated that dives into the hilariously over-the-top world of Auburn and Alabama fans trading jabs during the holidays. Think festive lights, lawn decorations, and Christmas cards all weaponized in the name of college football pride. It’s rivalry season—Southern style.
Here’s a piece I wrote for The Washington Post called “Hey rookies: Get your money, but earn it first”—a no-holds-barred message to first-year pros chasing the bag. It’s part pep talk, part reality check, and all about proving yourself before cashing in.
I grew up obsessed with Vibe Magazine—it was the gold standard for music, culture, and cool. So getting the chance to write for them was a full-circle moment. Here’s a piece I got to pen for the iconic mag.
