Social Distancing…Religiously!
It is coming up on almost a full year since I have entered the doors of a church building. Many have found streaming or joining Zoom calls for their weekly spiritual feeding as an only option has not been enough. Going to a physical building for worship has been apart of many of our lives […]
It Takes A Village…
You ever heard the saying “It takes a village to raise a child? I propose that that village is not just for the child but for the ones responsible for rearing that child. Yesterday my oldest son’s godmother offered to take him AND his brother. Dad and I were worn thin! lol. I’m a boy […]
More Than One Way to Fight
Many of us are rattled by the outcome of the Breonna Taylor decision. As a black woman what does this mean for me? This is triggering as it brings me back to the day I heard about the death of Sandra Bland. We were not as used to hearing about the lives of black women […]

The final season of the Newylweds (which I am STILL devastated about) had aired. I’d just graduated high school and started my first job. Before I graced […]

Comfort Through COVID
This pandemic has affected me more than I have been willing to admit. I have to be honest, when I first heard about the outbreak, like most I did not understand the severity of it. There had been little to no reported cases in the US. Even with our first reported case I still wasn’t […]
Who is the “Conscious Sophisticate”?
When I asked a few people what came to mind when they heard the words “conscious sophisticate” I received varying responses. I’ll share a few here: “someone that thought they were better than others, stuck up, and bougie”.
