Yesterday
My best friend of almost 12 years asked me to marry him.
I still don't have many words for this weekend, yet.
But I do know becoming William McBride's fiancée is a day I'll never forget.
From "prayer partner" to life partners, "yes" a million times over.

Oh nothing! Just VASTLY aware there's nowhere else to be Memorial Day weekend, other than with my tribe!!! Catch me at the Empowerment stage Sat & Sun!

Food. Dancing. Music.

Common & Pete Rock, Marsha Ambrosis, Teedra Moses, Talib Kweli & J. Rawls. Where else is there to be?

Grateful is an understatement! To come back as a Howard woman, to preach no less, for a mentor who drug me to the light of my call, is only a full circle moment God can do. Rev.Armstrong Thank you for the invitation. There is no me without you.

We We've Been Here Before

And just like that, after 11 years and some change, a holiday that I thought was ruined, you and God and redeemed. Happy ValentiMes. #PrayerPartner #MyPerson❤️

Kendrick just did exactly what the Black artist must do, have been doing, and continue to do. This is how and why God calls artist, and he just reminded us all.

We were here. We are here. You can't erase us.

You know...I said I'd more active on here, and I've not been....
Because the world is exhausting, and socials feel like another job to remain visible and relevant to a world committed to our collective erasure. Whew! But Ima try again.... later 🤣🥺

Past cruelty only blocks future kindness if you don't do present healing.

Last year was a monumental year for me, filled with immense victories. Simultaneously, the cruelty, spanning over a couple of years, of some of those closest to me was the kind that could kill one's spirit, physical body....

Another one!

God doing God things, that's all. Thank you to The Columbus Dispatch for the opportunity!

Countdown! 1 day left!
2 days ago: Let your private living match the perception of your public appearing
Lesson from yesterday: It ain't gotta be perfect to be perfect
Lesson today: Some things are good when you get them, and better when you hold them

Lesson 3:

THE LORD KEEPS BLESSING YA GIRL!

What they say and do? Not your business.
God, time and truth will do their job.
If you take care of God's business, God will take care of yours.

Lesson 2:

Laugh
Be with people who love you and like you.
Be who you like, and who you love.
