I love how Black people use language, update language, create language. And(because more than one thing can be true) I hate when that creation is co-opted by white people who give no nod to the community they stole from.

The Odu from Nigeria tells us that this is the year to do that inner work, that shadow work, the work of expanding your mind while you develop your character to be balanced. Be patient. Be kind. Don't let any situation or person take you out of your character.

Grief is hard. Grief about someone whom you should never have to do without is even worse. This longing to send them a text or call them while you watch the same show is melancholy personified. It is drowning in the want of another person you once called home.... for the second time in my life.

Six years ago this week I had my first reading with Baba. I am three months away from completing my transition year as a Priestess of Sango. This journey has given me so much peace, a beautiful community and allowed me to realize the power and strength I have within me. KABISILEO! MOJUBAR SANGO!

Pesto infused meatloaf, cubed red potatoes, and fresh veggies. Paired with a lovely Malbec. That's a good dinner.
