What’s Up Doc: Returning from Hiatus: A Personal Update revised from 2014

For those curious about my reasons for taking a break, I’ve crafted a list just for you…. (I revised this from 2014. Talk about procrastination. It still applies.) Usually, I make a vision board in the new year. As March is the New Year for Doc’s Castle Media, I’m sharing my vision for the year. It’s not a vision board, but a video and list which shares what prompts me to go on my many hiatuses and my vision for 2025. 

Here’s my list…

Reason 1: The Media is Annoying

Being in the media has made me weary of it. I have a love-hate relationship with the news. Becoming the news has shown me a side of the media I can’t always respect. Everyone’s a critic, everyone’s nosy, and everyone’s chasing fame. There’s too much pressure on what’s true, while Doc’s Castle Media is just my commentary. Life has become about grabbing attention. It’s disheartening to see people change while seeking recognition, and I’m the middle person who has the power to influence that.

I want to write without hyperactive comments and concerns. I’m tired of the rush to cover stories and the hype of likes and views. I move at my own pace at Doc’s Castle Media. On my website, don’t bug me unless…$$$! Catch my drift?

Reason 2: Where is the Originality?

There’s a lack of originality. When I started blogging twelve years ago, I had it. Now, blogging is a new trend, like rapping, videography, photography, and other arts. I’m returning to the drawing board because everyone has a website, and we all do the same thing. But my website remains deeply personal because I want to do it MY WAY. Who else will write an article like this? Who else is going to dive into topics and discover the talents of other people like I do?!  Returning from this hiatus, please expect more unique content. You, the viewers, will see my originality. It’s time to get a little delusional for my viewers and let you into how I see life in my safe place in my Castle.

Reason 3: Lack of Resources and Consistent Help

I’m frustrated by the lack of resources. I hate depending on others and waiting for their help. I dislike working in groups (I learned that in school and networking with other creatives). It seems like a neverending story waiting for others to do their part often leads to disappointment.

A lack of resources forces me to teach myself things I’d rather not do. I just want to write, man. Why must I teach myself graphic or web design, video editing, or photography so my website looks how I want it? A whole publication? It’s fine once I learn it, but it distracts me from writing.

“Invest in your craft,” people say. But who has the money to get off the ground? Not me! So, years were put into learning how to produce a real publication. I deserve flowers for the years I put into what I’m passionate about. I’m coming for my crown.

Reason 4: Am I An Impostor?!

Many creatives can relate to the struggle of getting out of our heads and bringing our visions into the world. We’re constantly searching for ways to make what feels natural to us resonate as “normal” for everyone else. This is my way of life—not the way of life, if you know what I mean—so when life throws challenges my way, finding inspiration to climb out of a rut can feel impossible. There’s no clear guide or set of examples to follow when navigating mistakes for the creative I want to be. It’s taking me a long time to discover my creative “normal.”

As I break free from impostor syndrome and step boldly into reality, I declare to the world: This is who I am. There’s no rule book for becoming the person I aspire to be. I’m ready to be unapologetically myself, to stop hiding the parts of me that I’ve spent years questioning whether they were “cool enough.” With over 4.5K supporters behind me, I realize that maybe I am a little cool. So, here’s to step out further, for myself and for anyone who’s rooting for me. I’m learning to embrace just how cool I truly am.

As you can see, my frustrations have piled up, and the negativity has made me reconsider my approach. A huge question is pressing on my mind, and I haven’t figured out the answer yet due to this built-up frustration with running my castle. But I press forward anyway, with ideas ready to spill out for everyone to see. As always, we’ll see where my creative journey takes me.

Watch me be:

The Power of Art: How We Saved the Creative Collective Art Gallery

I initially came as a vendor for Doc’s Castle Media to participate in a pop-up shop. Little did I know that my adventure would transform into an act of activism to save a beloved community space for Myrrh Made Queen and numerous artists in Baltimore.

The Creative Collective Art Gallery was on the brink of closing when I saw a Facebook post by Myrrh. She was offering a pop-up show space to any artist willing to participate in a protest to save the gallery. For the past year, the gallery had been a vibrant hub for artisans in the city, showcasing their creative talents and handmade crafts.

Creative Collective

The Creative Collective Art Gallery is the home and artistic haven of the Creative Collective Commyrrhnity, founded by Myrrh Made Queen in 2024 as an artist collective in Baltimore specializing in crafts such as body art, face painting, and canvas and mural artistry. The gallery provides a vibrant platform for artisans from all over the city to collaborate and showcase their talents alongside Myrrh Made Queen’s brand. 

The Creative Collective has become home to a plethora of canvas art events in the emergence of Sips and Paints, sparking excitement within the creative community. Events such as Sip and Paints, lively Karaoke and Paints, and even the energetic Twerk and Paint sessions are a testament to the lively and inclusive atmosphere the space fosters, which has kept the gallery full of life.

Myrrh Made Queen

MyrrhMade, pronounced like mermaid, is a freelance artist and owner of MyrrhMadeArt LLC. 

She specializes in a diverse range of painting techniques, from body and face paint to canvas art and murals. MyrrhMade isn’t just an artist—she’s an inspiration. Hosting a series of art events that champion self-love and liberation, her creations are designed to heal and uplift.

I love to dive into the lives of my fellow artists through social media, and Myrrh Made Queen stands out as one of the most genuine and raw talents you’ll encounter. If you’ve ever watched her Instagram stories, you’ll know she shares her authentic self daily, offering followers a glimpse into the life of an artist in Baltimore City. She doesn’t just create art—she lives it, embodying the essence of a true MyrrhMade.

What I admire about Myrrh is her uniqueness and resilience. She has built a dedicated following despite the challenges she’s faced. Her journey hasn’t always been smooth, but she exemplifies tenacity and the power of carving out your own path. As we watch her continue her journey, she inspires us all with her story of survival and success as a full-time freelance artist.

Saving The Creative Collective

When I walked into the Creative Collective, Myrrh shared her grievances about losing the gallery due to her business partner’s decision not to continue renting the space together. The landlord was unwilling to renew the lease without both partners’ signatures and planned an open house on President’s Day for potential tenants to tour the building.

In response, Myrrh transformed her impromptu pop-up shop into an act of activism to save her gallery. The creatives hoped that prospective tenants would be more interested in the art rather than renting the gallery. The idea was that if the landlord saw how the space brought life and vibrancy to the community, he might reconsider and lease the gallery solely to MyrrhMade.

When the prospective clients arrived that day, their curiosity turned towards the artists’ activities. They visited artist tables, inquired about creative works, and showed a genuine interest in the art rather than the lease. The open house ran for an hour before the landlord made an offer to Myrrh to lease the space for the rest of the month of February and March in the Charles Village community. The protest was a resounding success for MyrrhMade Queen.

Being part of the activism to save the gallery felt incredible. My son got to transform into his favorite Marvel character, Spider-man, and watch his mommy in action at work. Plus, I had the opportunity to sell some Doc’s Castle Art!

If you are an artist looking for a venue to host your event, the Creative Collective offers a welcoming space for the month of March. Just reach out to MyrrhMade Queen for inquiries.

Just a Marvelous Time with Marvelous Oak (A Black Owned Wine Tasting Event)

During my visit to the Reisterstown Wine and Beer Tasting in 2023, I expressed the need for more wine festivals in Baltimore. It seems I’ve spoken a new wine tasting into existence by attending the annual Marvelous Oak Mo Wyne Cookout.

The Need for More Wine Festivals

Baltimore should have more wine and spirit tastings, particularly those featuring Black-owned businesses. I was fortunate to come across Marvin Parker in my ventures with alcohol last year. It led me to this wonderful event.

[Read We Need More Wine Festivals In Baltimore (A Doc’s Castle Recap) on Doc’s Castle Media]

Marvin Parker owns the Marvelous Oak Wine brand. I was thrilled to attend the Annual Marvelous Oak Cookout last summer. I loved seeing Black people enjoying themselves with cups of Marvelous Oak wine in hand.

The Marvelous Oak Experience

The star that sat gloriously in my cup was Marvelous Oak’s semi-sweet Malbec wine. At the picnic table, guests found a pitcher filled with sangria, using Marvelous Oak as its main ingredient. I enjoyed a cup while dining at the barbecue and watching the festivities. The atmosphere was lively, with guests grooving to line dances, playing UNO, and simply having a great time. The wine was smooth and stealthy, perfect for an enjoyable day.

Exploring Last Call: The Trivia Show That Unites Friends

Well, well, well. We meet again, Mr. Karlito Freeze. This time, in a thrilling challenge thrown down by another Baltimore artist, Symone Hardy of Graphite Pulse.

In 2017, Doc’s Castle Media featured Karlito Freeze because we collaborated on a podcast when he was a former “intimate.” Whiskey Girl hosted the podcast back then, and things were a bit different with Mr. Freeze and me.

Listen to #LoveandHipHop Baltimore Featuring #StrongWayRadio and #DocsCastleMedia on Embrace the Crazy Podcast by Whiskey Girl (Gallery)

After years of silence over obvious things (our breakup), I reconnected with songwriter and aspiring multimedia mogul Karlito Freeze on a few art projects this year, with Last Call being one of our standout collaborations.

The chemistry between Freeze and me is unmatched and worthy of celebration. It’s why we return for Last Call Season 1 to showcase the same fire we exhibit on Ex Factor. It’s an exceptional example of building bonds beyond emotionally impactful differences we may have faced in the past. As a story may appear to end one way, it doesn’t mean it has to be the end all be all.

Sym’s, the host of Last Call, work is already so inspirational in Baltimore City. She captivates me because she’s a Baltimore Creative, just like me. You know, I love our people. I heard of Last Call from Freeze when he told me Sym was creating an experience bringing people together that I haven’t seen many people in Baltimore do before. I’m walking into the experience blind, not knowing what to expect, and only being told my opponent is my ex in a Trivia game. All that’s next came a gesture of the birdman hand rub and a declaration to Freeze that it was now, “Game on!”

Who knew I’d be such a trivia beast? Not me! It’s all thanks to the countless hours of Wheel of Fortune playing in the background at my grandparents’ house growing up. Trivia knowledge whispers to me even in my sleep. Freeze didn’t have a chance. The Graphite Pulse Last Call experience brings people together for a good time and plenty of laughter. I had a blast and would do it again if invited.

Who is Graphite Pulse?

Graphite Pulse is an art platform run by multimedia artist Sym, showcasing her art practices and the events she attends due to her incredible talents.

Follow Sym’s Instagram!

Last Call

Last Call is a lively trivia game show that brings people together for a night of fun, laughter, and mystery! With three exciting rounds, each featuring five random and entertaining trivia questions, players are tested on their knowledge across a wide variety of topics. But there’s a twist—the contestant with the lowest score at the end of each round must drink a mystery shot, adding an element of surprise and humor to the game. Perfect for families, friends, and communities, Last Call is all about creating connections, sparking friendly competition, and building camaraderie.

Why not just be Cancel Culture for Halloween?… Again

The Doc’s Castle Media Halloween 2021 costume is a spinoff from a previous costume from 2019 when I wanted to be “triggered” for Halloween. So it’s considered part two. It’s what happens after a group of people take heed to a “triggered” person’s opinion and make it into a fact; the reaction. After someone is triggered, things get canceled.

I am Cancel Culture for Halloween 2021. It does feel a little redundant to do this again, but this year I decided to make my costume an interactive experience. Take the fake gun out of the picture, decorate my black shirt with a few quotes from a few canceled celebrities, and BOOM! I’m now an interactive game for people to play at my best friend’s Halloween game night.

I was “triggered” for Halloween 2019

[Read about me as a Covid-19 Germ for Halloween 2020 on Doc’s Castle Media]

I didn’t know what to do this year. Unlike previous years where there is a common theme that occurs in pop culture that’s easy to point out as a potential idea, this year was tough coming up with a costume. I don’t know whether it’s because Donald Trump isn’t president anymore, so the news seems quieter than the last 4 years he was in office, or if it’s just slow because the world is still coping with living in a Covid-19 era. News and current events in pop culture are a little dull. So it took some time to get the ideas flowing.

Cancel Culture is Alive and Thriving

There’s nothing that stood out more than the continued and non-stop outrage that people have on Twitter. It’s recurring and well alive online. People get angry over everything and anything. Everyone has a platform to share their anger. Those people who have an influence on these sites have more power than we think. Online angry mobs form having the say-so in killing multiple people’s careers. What once felt like it started with just the #MeToo movement is now a show stopper for everything wrong in society. Cancel Culture sweeps in sabotaging many people’s lives. We’re just living here like it’s okay.

It concerns me to think we’re living in a society that is sensitive to hearing opinions. How can we learn to live in a world where people think it’s better to cut ties with someone because their opinions differ, rather than to learn to accept to disagree and live peacefully and respectfully amongst each other? It’s now where someone could even cancel themselves if they aren’t too careful with the things they say or have said in the past.

There are many cases where celebrities can make comebacks from being canceled. Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, and the list grows with every celebrity who powers through. Therefore it is possible to make it out of the storm of online shaming.

[Read Cancel Culture Is Alive and Well in 2021 on Distractify.]

My Cancel Culture costume took part in highlighting 7 celebrities who are still canceled in 2021. I wrote the actions and quotes of these celebrities that caused them to be canceled on note cards and stuck them to my shirt to turn my costume into an interactive game for a Halloween Game Night.

Gamers capable of guessing who the quotes of these canceled celebrities belonged won candy because, of course, it’s Halloween night.

7 Celebrities and the Quotes that Got Them Cancelled in 2021

  • Bill Cosby
  • Da Baby
  • Derrick Jaxn
  • Ellen DeGeneres
  • Kathy Griffin
  • R. Kelly
  • Tory Lanez

6 Steps How to Start A Blog for My Slowly Pen Pals

Thank you to the many Pen Pal friends I met in early 2021 from across the world. Today is the day I’m sharing more “free game” for inquiring minds who want to know about what I do. How to Start A Blog as a Hobby is easy. So I narrowed it down to six essential steps for helping someone figure out the basics of creating a blog.

Slowly is a geosocial networking app and Pen Pal generator. It’s an app for “people who yearn for meaningful conversations in the era of instant messaging.” Users send letters, photos, and audio clips to their matches based on language & commonly interesting topics. What makes Slowly authentic to the Pen Pal theme is the time taken by a message to be delivered. Messages deliver depending on the distance between the sender and the recipient. So if someone who lives in Baltimore, MD expects a letter from Egypt, they’d prepare to receive it within 26 hours.

I made over 25 pen pals from around the globe using Slowly. But I remain connected to a core group of 5 people from Ghana, Brazil, India, Malaysia, and Egypt. I downloaded Slowly to meet new people from other countries and gain personal pandemic survival stories from people during Covid. I intentionally sought for the differences and similarities of how we all cope with implementing social distancing into our daily lives. See, I’m interested in how others handle living in a global shutdown. All in all, we were doing fine.

Slowly App Logo

Turns out, everyone’s finding new things to learn and hobbies to take on to keep ourselves busy. While getting to know these people, I learned about the privilege I have compared to people living outside of the United States, too. Upon finding out I’m a blogger hosting my own website, I quickly realized I possess certain technology and knowledge that many people around the world do not have. When asked to share what I knew about blogging so they could take on starting a blog as a hobby, I thought ‘why not share this mini luxury of mine. So as another “free game” post, in which I give free advice for something that doesn’t require much to figure out with time and patience, I’m spilling the tea on how to start your own blog.

[Read Busting out of the Barrel: How to Support Baltimore Artists on Doc’s Castle Media] 

How Doc’s Castle Media came to be is from years of trial and error, and genuinely wanting to understand publishing my own content. It’s easy and done for free if you know where to find the correct resources. Aside from what I’m sharing here, YouTube is a great resource for further information. Ten years into blogging, it is still my go-to for new ideas on ways to improve Doc’s Castle Media.

Here are Six Steps to Starting A Blog As A Hobby for my Slowly App friends

What motivates you to start a blog

Start by thinking of your reason. There’s a reason people want to create a blog. One pen pal from Slowly tells me they want to share information about their culture. Another pal wants to use it as an outlet for their poetry. I also have a friend from Brazil who wants to create an anonymous online diary. Anything can be the spark to get someone started on the path towards blogging. Mine was for a good grade in school. Figure out your why for your site.

Choosing a blog name

A lot of bloggers choose whatever they’re writing about to also be included in the title of their blog’s name. People mainly do this to appear easily in Google’s search engine. But your blog’s name can be anything. I named my blog Doc’s Castle Media because I didn’t have a specified genre to write about, just wanted to write about what I enjoy. It took a while to figure out what I enjoyed exploring. So I kept my blog’s name simply by using my nickname because my commentary is the common theme on the site. 

Choosing your blog’s hosting platform

Deciding where your blog is hosted is one of the most important steps in the process. This is where you’ll think about what you’re truly investing in, whether this is something for fun or if you have an extra income coming your way. If this is a hobby, finding free websites, like Blogger or WordPress.com, are great free tools that provide easy-to-use templates to start. The interface for some of the administrative dashboards on free hosting sites can be more user-friendly and targeted to beginner bloggers. So use these tools to your benefit when creating a website tailored to your passions.

Use free templates and plugins

Explore and experiment using your blog site as the playground. There aren’t any rules to what you create. Researching free templates and plugins gives your blog personality. This is where you build upon your original content and how you’ll structure how you want to physically appear to your readers. Colors, pictures, or plain text format, you learn through using free tools how your finished product should look like.

Myspace in 2008 was where I originally learned how to edit a webpage using basic Html. Basic Html skills are easy to learn online these days because the information is free. Using free resources, like W3Schools and Html5 Editor, teaches me how to build a page by showing me the coding language that communicates with the backend of my website. A combination of using free templates, plugins, and HTML coding editors can help you build the best website for your blog.

Share your content in an online community.

Sharing your original content on social media gets it in front of an audience that supports what you put into the world. You can subscribe to the big social media sites, but the cool thing about the Internet is you can find even smaller communities within bigger social networks that are more geared to your specific content. It places your material in front of people who genuinely enjoy the same things as you.

Join groups that are specific for the topic or genre of blogging you participate in. Places like Reddit, Meet-Up, or Facebook friend groups are great places to start to find your niche support group for your blog. You aren’t limited to these websites. These are just a few to name.

Don’t be discouraged in the process of starting your blog

Your blog is your voice. Remember you have complete control over what you post when you’re the creator. You have that ability to constantly recreate yourself. So even if you feel stuck or reached a block, change it up and explore something new. Change the topic of what you write about. Do what you need to do to keep your voice. You could even start a new blog. But don’t give up if it’s something you love.

Let me help you:

This was a fun video to record for my Slowly friends. I’m intrigued with what other questions any of you may have about blogging. Remember, Doc’s Castle Media started as a hobby and is still a hobby, but I do make a little money from what I enjoy. I make it work for me. Leave in the comments below questions that you have about blogging.

WFH: It’s Your Essential Right. 100 Work From Home Jobs During #Covid19

Everyday the statistics of unemployment reach astronomical levels with billions of people laid off globally while we await for the reopening of a global shutdown. People are getting antsy to leave their homes for survival. As people label even the minuscule of tasks as essential in order to escape their homes, they’re ignoring precautions to keep everyone safe. Ain’t nobody got time for that! So we need to push the alternatives.

I have friends and relatives fortunate in finding quick fixes in hard times. Like turning on a switch to active “hustler mode,” they are fast at coming up with plans to tackle the changes that could come up physically, mentally, spiritually, and even financially. It’s a talent that I can admire when people put in the hustle during times of adversity and tragedy.

The benefits of living in the digital age and smacked in the middle of year 2020 is the ability to remain connected in so many different ways while remaining so far apart. Distance isn’t a factor anymore if we need to get things done. So when trials appear, if there should be any during this pandemic, financial stability is everyone’s essential right. 

It’s recorded that over 30 million Americans have filed for unemployment within a six-week rolling period according to an article on CNBC. To measure this pandemic’s impact on a more local level, Maryland received over 37,000 unemployment claims within the last week! New approaches are necessary since we cannot determine when the country will go back to normal.

I saw a solution on my Facebook timeline. One of my friends shared a post of 100 companies that are currently hiring for work from home positions. I think this is useful for anyone. Take a look.

I pray anyone that is in need will find something in the list below. 

“Laid off during #Covid19, or looking for a 2nd stream of income? Do you have stable internet access? Here’s a list of employers who are hiring for remote positions.

NOTE: You will need to copy and paste the entire post (not share it), otherwise you will only see the DOI link. 😉 I hope this helps those in need.

2020 Vision Baby: Sharing My Vision Board

We’re going to conquer our dreams. We’re getting back to master planning and sharing vision boards.

Boom! I’m coming back to use this zombieland of a blog I’ve had for over a year in hopes of inspiring people to take on the new decade in high confidence! We’re going to conquer our dreams. We’re getting back to master planning and sharing vision boards.

I’ve been on a hiatus from blogging for numerous reasons that I promise I’ll update in a later post. Today I want to share the vision board I created while prepping for my Doc Castle return. My board is solely my vision for 2020. Though I did draft a plan for a better decade in my daily notebook, I chose to share only what I have in mind for this year so I will not bore you all.

These things are what I consider to be concrete and achievable plans. I’m sharing and posting my board online to solidify and make declarations for my desires. I’ve written yearly goals since attending college, and it has proven to be very effective for me because it helps me get things done. It helps me make steps toward becoming the best version of myself each year. In achieving my goals, my life feels more colorful and more meaningful, and more recently I’ve found that my writings about my experiences completing my goals are my greatest motivation when I’m not feeling 100%.

I’ve shared bucket lists on Doc’s Castle Media in previous years with follow-up blog posts of sharing what I’ve done. Those experiences lead to creating music with friends and being featured in fashion shows. I met amazing people who introduced me to exploring a bigger world. It might not be a bucket list but in sharing my goals for 2020, I hope I can see more vividly and continue living more meaningfully.

Just a few things on the 2020 board…

  1. Travel More
  2. #Thirsty30
  3. Living and Growing Happily with My Boyfriend
  4. Honoring Taylor University Hours
  5. Utilizing my office as a space for productivity and as box of inspiration for brewing ideas.
  6. Stop living in your what if’s and just do what it!
  7. Make Dozens upon dozens of Decorative Vases
