Whatever: Religion In The Office

The religion I was raised in had no tolerance for homosexuality. When I did finally come out, my family was convinced that there was a gay demon inside of me and the only way to save my soul was to put me through an exorcism.  Earlier this year, I reconnected with one of the pastors involved in that traumatic experience, someone I grew up with, someone I once called a great friend. It's been over 20 years since we've seen each other, but this weekend we finally broke bread together and made amends.  If I can forgive my exorcist, think about what grudges you can let go.  As far as human realness goes, this is about as real as it gets!

In what will easily be the most talked-about event in the U.S. for these Olympics, Simone Biles unexpectedly withdrew from the team and individual all-around gymnastics competitions, citing mental health concerns as the issue. Opinions for and against this move have consumed the sports world since then. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.  One thing that is not debatable is that Simone Biles sits under an incredible amount of pressure as not only a black female, but also one of the greatest gymnasts of all time and America's sweetheart.
