The bad news is that I can't become best friends with my new hemotologist bc she is my hemotolgist.
The good news is the moment we saw each other, we new we *should* be best friends. So when God sends me another beautiful, brilliant, fashionable woman in STEAM, I'll know she's bestie material.

Anti-panic deep breathing was not on my airport Bingo card this am but ok.
My son (2) kept asking, "Can I come, too, Mommy?"
I smothered him with kisses and immediately hyperventilated. Meanwhile, my 4 yo daughter kept asking me who's driving the airplane. And you know what, baby, good question 😂😂

Diving back into this Black mermaids novel to cut half the book and enhance the other half. Again & again, this story reveals so many layers, shows me that it contains multitudes that even I haven't fully uncovered.
I'm grateful to carry this story, to give life to my ancestors' wildest dreams. #BVM

Just watched this for the first time tonight to kick off spooky szn with the hubs, and y'all were not lying about how brilliant this movie is. Will be thinking about this for YEARS 🤌🏾🙌🏾
Halloween remains one of the most commercially and culturally significant periods for the horror and thriller genres, and Sinners’ return positions it perfectly at the intersection of audience excitement and industry visibility.

Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

I'm seeing AI images in some really unnecessary places (any place) like in an article by a hair salon...about hair salons...why don't you just...use actual pictures...from your actual hair salon????
The ease we were promised was a lie because the way some of these ppl overcomplicate everything.

Every block should have a community garden… I was just talking to my mom about this yesterday. I wish land wasn’t so damn expensive out here. Black folks in places where land is dumbass cheap like $250 for that spot, you should buy em up, form a co-op and create community gardens.
