Just because I can take a punch doesn’t mean that the fight is pleasant.

Book number 3’s title has moved from “prospective” to “actual”.

I want to do a podcast badly but I think it’s because I’m in love with the sound of my own voice. It’s a good one. I have been mistaken for automatic answering machines while working and I’ve been told my speaking voice is very soothing.

Anybody need an extra voice?

Apparently, it’s Friday today.

News to me, but who cares?

So, there was a dude just standing in front of the door of the dept. of ed today?

Unarmed? Just standing in the way and stopping folks from working?

And nobody just…pushed him out of the way? Da’fuq? Am I missing something?

This man really just sat in front of this gorgeous Black woman and said that “Blacks need fewer antigens” because “that have stronger immune systems.”

Again, not surprised for the racism but disappointed that we still have to have these basic discussions

I’m sure he thought that was a compliment

Sleep is eluding me again but I’m getting a great idea for a novel. (Novella? Short story? Novel series?) It might have been done before but it hasn’t been done BY ME before! Glad I wrote things down this time.

Today, my therapist asked me today what would I be missing out on if a certain someone was no longer part of my life and I didn’t even have an answer. I just sat back, flabbergasted. Never even crossed my mind before. Whew, chile! #blacksky

If there was any doubt about how the people feel about the internet’s current favorite cousin Luigi, it really looks like the other inmates got him together before his big transfer. Fresh lining and eyebrows? The prison dolls saw the supermodel and got to work!

I got the opportunity to live out a dream of mine. I recorded the audio version of my chapter in the Living Well with GRIT anthology

The audio editor really loved my voice as well and wanted to make a little clip for others to listen to if they’re in need of a female voice for their projects

The anthology that I wrote an essay for is officially a number 1 international best seller!

Talk to me nice!

I’m the auntie that buys the kids books featuring other Black kids for Christmas. Then, will ask them what the books are about a day or two later.

And I will absolutely have an attitude if they don’t know!

Things have been shifting so much since my diagnosis. I don’t have the capacity to handle everything but I do miss the feeling of belonging I used to have at work. I feel like a huge outsider now and it hurts. #ChronicIllness

Do y’all ever think to yourself how great having a podcast would be and then immediately talk yourself out of it because you don’t know what to speak about?

Even though the urge keeps kicking you in the head… #blacksky #spirit

I’m gonna need folks to do a little research and remember why they started putting fluoride in the water in the first place. It wasn’t that long ago, fam.
