Don’t Look Back
They say doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Hot take, but I personally think that’s the definition of a strong will to succeed – or at least an attempt to. Of course I see where people who say that are coming from –…

Don’t Be Fooled By the Rocks I Don’t Got
I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent just about every day of my adult life asking myself, what am I doing? Every day has been an exercise is reassuring myself that, yes, I deserve the things that I have. My path may not look like the next person’s, but it’s still a path that…

Just Keep Swimming
Once upon a time, I had a goal. I was so confident in my abilities to reach this goal. I visualized myself achieving this goal and all of that manifesting goodness. Needless to say, I never met this goal. I found the things that I needed to do in order to meet this goal unpleasant…

A Rose By Any Other Name
Mother’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays because I was raised by an incredibly strong, single mother. My mother was always there for my sister and me, and now as an adult, I see it for what it was – heroic. She would celebrate every little thing for us – bringing us…

When You Believe
Happy Easter! As a Christian, Easter is one of the biggest holidays of the year, second only to Christmas. It may even come before Christmas, but I personally prefer Christmas. I love what Easter represents, though. The forgiveness. The sacrifice. The redemption. I can’t not tear up when I think about everything Jesus went through…

Back in the Habit
In 2017, I had my first job as a hostess in a New York City restaurant. I felt like such a quintessential actor, and I even met a few actors in my 10 months at the place. Well, I’m back, baby. Not at the same restaurant, but back behind the hostess stand at a cute…

Gimme A Reason
As anyone who has been reading my blog these past few weeks knows, I quit my job at the beginning of the year. It was a decision that I did not make lightly based on factors that I believe are incredibly important. Unfortunately, the New York State Department of Labor would disagree. During my exit…

I Am Not My Hair
There are very few days a month that I dread, but one of those days is wash day. If you have moderately long, kinky/curly hair, you know what I’m talking about. Between the de-tangling, the five rounds of conditioning, and the hours of styling, wash day is more like wash DAYS. Ain’t nobody got time…

Jesus Took the Wheel
Yesterday, I got into a hit and run accident while stopped at a light. Somehow this is my second accident like this in the 11 months that I’ve had my car, but this one caused much more damage to the point that my sweet automobile is at a body shop in the Bronx. As I…

New Year, New You, Now What?
Happy belated new year! I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22 if you know what I’m saying! I chose to start this year pursuing peace. The last few months of 2021 were crazy hard for me, and I decided to do something about it, so I quit my job in January. Let me…
