I swear by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, I’ll never be a maid of honor again. I’m going to try my best to be tactful with this story, but my God, it’s a doozy. It’s rare to find people, especially women are still tight with their crew from high school, let alone middle school. My friend …

I really don’t have time to blog today, but I can’t hold this in. I consider it a personal attack when someone I’m interested in doesn’t text back. No warning. No explanation. No nothing, Jesus. Just silence. It’s not even the fact that a man completely ghosted me or was rude enough to abruptly cease all communication. …

Here is actual footage of my 2017: Whew. Where do I begin? I’ve worked on this blog post for three days pondering on how depressing and pessimistic I want it to be. I shed a few tears writing the first draft, then closed my laptop. Then on day two, I returned only to fall asleep …

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. …

Exclusive image of me counting the number of losses I’ve taken in 2017. While everyone else stumbled out of 2016 like Tina did in that epic scene from What’s Love Got to Do With It after laying the smackdown on Ike, I was certain that the New Year would bring a series of celebrations in my life. …
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 …
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 …
