Farewell to my Twenties
Another year around the sun. Today, I woke up 30! Wow, where has time gone. There were so many things I learned throughout my twenties; so many experiences. At some points, it felt like I was going through a never ending whirlwind of chaos; can’t say I’ll miss it lol. There were so many rough […]

Losing A Parent: I’m Still Triggered
I have been working on this post for two years and today felt like the perfect day to publish it. My dad has been dead for 22-years today and today, I am not okay. I sat in my bathroom this morning and cried because I was overwhelmed with emotions. I’m still triggered by the fact […]

My Joy Is My Resistance
Everyday mood! I’m Black and I’m beautiful! I wouldn’t want to live life any other way than being Black. The culture is rich, our melanin glistens, and we are trendsetters.

Today, I’m Tired
I know I normally write longer post but today what I have to say is limited. I’m tired y’all. It’s like living in a twilight zone. When is it going to be enough? Every few months there’s another body, a new name, and the same feelings of trauma resurfacing all over again. Some days I’m […]

Black Lives Matter, too.
I was recently asked about my opinion of the Black Lives Matter movement. To me Black Lives Matter is more than just a phrase. It is a movement that embodies the very essence of being unapologetically Black and unapologetically bold. Black Lives Matter is a reminder to not fold to societal pressures while standing your […]

Masculine or feminine? Why not be both?
I found myself watching Moonlight again while reflecting on my own struggles with masculinity throughout my life. Masculinity seems to be a big theme in my life right now, as I have recently identified that I am both masculine and feminine all at the same time. Now, getting to this point was the biggest struggle. […]

Abstinence Is Hard AF, Yet Beautiful
When I tell people that I’m practicing abstinence, they respond with the most thunderstruck facial expressions. Then, comes the follow-up question where people begin to inquire about my liking of sex. Now, if you really know me, you know that I love sex. I, in fact, love all things dealing with sexuality so much that […]

My Letter To You…
It’s you, it’s always been you… Normally I keep these type of thoughts in my notes on my phone, however, simultaneously, I am a believer that the best way to address your feelings and emotions is to let them out. My brother pointed out to me that I have been talking about you for almost […]
