Fighting for My Life
The first three months of 2024 have been interesting to say the least. I resigned from a government position back in November due to not being able to fulfill the requirements of the job because I have permanent short term memory loss due to the medication I take for epilepsy. But I found another job…

The Word “No”
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? I say no quite often these days to things that would interfere with my goals because I’m tired as hell. Tired because of the drugs I take for my medical condition, tired mentally because of the grief I’ve been going through…

Single and Mingling
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. The one question I hate to be asked is why am I single? One because it’s invasive as hell and lastly, it’s no one’s business. We live in a culture in which women are considered weird if they don’t have a man attached to the…

Relationships and Black Folks
What bores you? What bores me? These never ending conversations on the Black social media about relationships, celebrities, submission, high value men and women, who eats first, the man or the children, and all types of foolishness. The Black community is teetering on the edge of a cliff and these are the conversations that take…

My Favorite Folks
Who are your favorite people to be around? My favorite people to be around are genuinely happy adults and children. A lot of adults are some miserable sots so when I meet happy grown people, it brings me joy because I know that they will not be bringing any drama into my life. And I…

A Middle Aged Around The Way Girl
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? If there was a biography about me, the title would be the one above because that’s who I am. Born in the 70s, came of age during the 80s, and still alive today. Saw the carnage of the crack epidemic in real time,…

Locking Up Child Molesters
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? If I had the power to change one law, it would be giving child molesters a life sentence without parole. As a survivor of child molestation, I understand the harm that it causes the psyches of children. When I was…
