Ya’ll. This is a wild ass story. I don’t even know where to begin, but my spirit says it’s time to release this past experience into the universe. I wrote about my Maya Angelou funeral horror and even opened up about the scary decision to quit a job out of the blue. My blog is my safe …
God, I hope she never reads this. If you’ve been following me this year, then you know I’ve fallen off. I don’t write blogs as frequently as I should. I am late responding to Facebook notifications (primarily because I removed the app from my phone) and I rarely share pictures of my life on Instagram. …

This began as an Instagram post inspired by a tweet. When I sat down to write the post, it became too long-winded even for me. I rarely discuss fashion and beauty topics because, well, that’s not my ministry. God has made room for my gifts and style isn’t one of them. But, alas, I am inspired …

Photo: Why Did I Get Married Too I wrote the first sentence of this post and then got on Twitter, scrolled for a few seconds noticing a photo of Serena Williams’ baby bump. I had to RT. Then confirm. Screenshot. Proceed to post on IG followed by both my personal and Facebook fan pages. 10 …
Photo: CBS Blue Ivy is a legend in her own right. In the womb, the universe proclaimed that she would never struggle to make a student loan payment, take public transportation or work for free. You know this modern day phenomenon when companies think it’s cute to work millennials to the bone without so much …
Last Wednesday, I woke up refreshed and in a strange, overly chipper mood. It wasn’t the restful 10-hour slumber from the night before or the PayPal notifications chirping on my phone, signaling that my clients had paid their invoices. On this morning, I was happy just to be happy. I’m in a different space both …
My greatest idea of vindication comes in the form of my words expressed in a blog. I cannot rest well or function properly until I’ve released authenticity into the universe. This site is my outerspace sprinkled with truths floating freely from my heart. In 2016, I didn’t blog as much as I did in 2015 …
Okay. First order of business, no one was rejected. Now that you’re here, I want to tell you the story about an unknown man I met at the hood Wal-Mart by my house that forever changed my perspective on dating. A few weeks ago, I made a quick run to the hood Wal-Mart by my …
