I Survived My First 30 Days As A Mother

6 September, 20180

"When a baby is born so is a mother" - Unknown Being a mother is serious business. Here I am coming from pregnancy where I slept almost 14 hours a day only to wake up and not feel I haven't went to sleep at all. To taking 30-60 minute cat naps and calling them sleep. Today makes 30 days that I have been a mother. I survived the first month of forever. Want to know a secret? I had Lennox on Monday and was supposed to be released on Wednesday. I begged the doctor for an extra day, not to have Read more [...]

First Time Mommy Chronicles: Losing Baby Fat

27 August, 20180

Three weeks, two mom boobs, and one fupa later, I am standing in the mirror looking at my new body. We are so pressured to snap back. There are a million articles on how to "lose weight fast after your baby", that women are not healing properly. Granted I have always been a bigger girl. But If you know me, you know something I'm extremely proud of is the fact that I lost over 80lbs before and swore to myself I would never see 275 on any scale again. Although I had gained some of my weight back before Read more [...]

I Hate Being Pregnant

18 May, 20182

If you know me, you know that I can be a bit of a brat. I love my freedom, sushi, a good cocktail, and of course travel. However; this isn’t me saying that I’m upset about not being able to go to Bali this winter, or the fact that I can’t even take the edge off my day by having cocktails and sushi with friends. This is me stating that: Every pregnancy is different, and every woman has the GOD GIVEN right to experience it differently. For the women who are unable to have children, or who struggles Read more [...]

Saying Goodbye: A Letter To My Father

9 December, 20170

Dear Daddy, I pray this letter comes off as eloquent as it is in my head. I thought I knew just what to say and here I am feeling a bit speechless. We lost you 11/29/2017 on a Wednesday night at 10:13pm. I haven't stop crying since. I don't know if I will ever stop crying. It hurts so bad. Last night we had your viewing and everyone was looking to me to be strong, the kids, the grandkids, and even mom. I have done everything to make sure you leave this world with honor. I set everything up, single Read more [...]

Ride With Me & The 2017 Prius Prime On A #GenerationsDeep Adventure!

9 November, 20170

It’s no secret that 2017 has been a rollercoaster of a ride for me. From January till Hurricane Harvey decided to close out the fiscal year with mass flooding, it seemed as if I was starring in a Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events. Dealing with one life altering circumstance can weigh one down. Adding multiple issues can allow despair to creep in, depression can overtake strength, and giving up all together seems like the best option. But I, including my family, am just not built that Read more [...]

6 Signs You are Dating a FB Who Thinks He’s a Good Guy

28 September, 20170

I know I'm a little late with this, seeing how we're all waiting on Season 3 of Insecure, however, the subject never dies and I personally feel like we let this one fly over our heads. In season two we saw a little more than we wanted to see with Tasha & Lawrence. At the end of the "never should have started situationship", Tasha tells Lawrence that he is the worst kind of guy: A F***Boy who thinks he's a good guy. What does this mean? We mostly talk about guys in two extremes. Read more [...]

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 [...]
