Baa Baa Black Woman Have You Any Strength?

24 May, 20170

I read a status on Facebook the other day that said "Mama Pope is just another Angry Black Woman complaining about a Black Man"... Clearly they didn't get it. I have been long wanting to write about "Mama Pope's Monologue" since I watched the Season Finale, but didn't know exactly what to say. Until now. The words that Mama Pope spoke came from the core of a black woman's soul. From Black women having to watch their men and children whipped, sold off, raped, and humiliated all while having Read more [...]

Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, but Words Can Destroy

24 February, 20170

It's not often that I say my Parents "Taught" me something that was wrong. For the most part, if anything, my parents definitely taught me the right way to live, they just might have not SHOWN me the correct way all the time. As I was eating lunch I saw a group of kids playing. The way they were speaking to each other was painful. They were so young and yet they spewed out so much negativity and hatred for each other. I thought to myself, "Some of these words will have a lasting effect on some of Read more [...]

Fear, Survivors Remorse, and Determination 72 hours After Fort Lauderdale

12 January, 20170

No training, nor any experience with guns or gun violence could prepare me for the fear I encountered January 6th at Fort Lauderdale Airport. In a country where we are spoon fed a fear of terrorism on what seems like a daily, your mind is subconsciously already on high alert. Sitting in Terminal 1 watching events unfold in the next terminal I felt a sense of safety. Sadden by the report of 1 known death at the time, I patiently waited for my flight to board. Before I knew it, shots were fired and Read more [...]

33

20 December, 20160

Tears wet my Pillow as I embarked on my 33rd trip around the Sun. All I could think of is how much pain, suffering, and anguish I have experienced or watch others experience in life. The deaths, the ice that humans are slowly morphing into. I clothes my eyes and pray that I do not wake in the morning. 33....What a throw away age. You are past your milestone, not quite mid, not near your next milestone. Just filled with anxiety and anxiousness of what the future holds. Just there, just blah. I Read more [...]
