When I read this I asked myself what roles has society given me? Have I accepted those roles? If a new reality is available to me why have I accepted this reality? How much of what I think is assigned to me did I actually nominate myself for? Society has tried to dictate what jobsContinue reading “Evolve Everyday”
Multi-Dating: Is It Really A Good Idea?
One of my author friends Angel Sand asked a question on her Instagram. (You can purchase her book here.) The question was “How many people is too many to date at one time.” I thought this was an interesting topic because my views on the topic have changed recently. Let’s start with how I useContinue reading “Multi-Dating: Is It Really A Good Idea?”
Give Black Men Their Flowers While They Are Here: Remembering Nipsey and Kobe
On March 31, 2019, the world lost Ermias Asghedom also known as Nipsey Hussle. It was just last year that we lost such a great rapper, but it still seems like yesterday. He was known for doing a lot in his community. He was known for using his celebrity to positively influence others.

Black Women & Healthcare
I have been sick and just decided to ignore it on so many different occasions. You may be wondering why I would ignore being sick. It’s because too often I have been turned away and told that doctors are not sure what is wrong with me. I am normally told that there is nothing thatContinue reading “Black Women & Healthcare”
Marked By Beauty
During this past holiday break I decided to go to work without wearing any makeup. I go to work without makeup pretty often. I love makeup, but if I’m tired or running late I don’t bother.

Yes, I’m Depressed
Lately, many people have taken offense to my absence in their lives. I don’t call people much, because I don’t want to talk. I don’t visit people much, because I don’t want to spread negative energy to anyone else and I definitely don’t want to add any negative energy around me. That doesn’t mean thatContinue reading “Yes, I’m Depressed”
Works Are Faith Brought To Life
I was praying and praying and nothing was happening. I’m not the type of person that is always praying for material things, but this particular time I was. I watched this video (which I love) https://youtu.be/8d1Kq1dnk_c and something hit me. I remembered this passage… James 2:14-2614 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone saysContinue reading “Works Are Faith Brought To Life”
Things They Don’t Tell You About Church
I’ve run into a lot of atheists in this last few months. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with them, and they have told me some of their experiences with church. Once they explained, I understood what prompted them to make the choice that they made. Religious people are very much responsible for discouraging peopleContinue reading “Things They Don’t Tell You About Church”
What Is Abuse
Many are in abusive relationships and are unaware. People will tell you to leave when there is abuse, but do you know what abuse is? The odd thing to me is that people will be in situations where they are abused, yet not want for you to be in abusive situations. This is normally notContinue reading “What Is Abuse”
Red Flags In Dating
One of my lovely Instagram followers read my last post and commented that she is new to the dating scene. I thought to myself how much dating has changed over the years. I wanted to do a blog about the dating red flags I see and hear from other people, and some I have experiencedContinue reading “Red Flags In Dating”
