  • Happy Thanksgiving

    Earlier this year, I learned that I had a mass in my right breast and had to have an immediate following mammogram. When I received the abnormal results, I put it away in the part of the brain where you put information that you’re not ready to deal with but late at night, I would…

  • Bugs Bunny and Books

    I lead such a dull existence these days. It’s Saturday night and I’m in bed reading a book with the sounds of Bugs Bunny playing in the background. Surprisingly enough, I’m content. As an old broad who survived a lot, this is it for me right now. It’s a beautiful kind of peace when you…

  • What’s something you believe everyone should know. History. There are so many people in this country who don’t know a damn thing about the history of the place they live in. They don’t know the Constitution, the laws of their state, or even their own city. Couldn’t tell you who their local politicians are if…

  • The Normalization of Foolishness

    I will be 55 years old next month if the creek don’t rise, and I’ve never seen such foolishness from a standing president of the United States in my whole damn life. And people are acting like this shit is normal. Somewhere along the way, we got desensitized. Outrage fatigue set in. Every new scandal,…

  • What are you most proud of in your life? The fact that all three of my children are college graduates with multiple degrees. I raised my children in the hood as a poor working class Black woman and you guys know the stereotypes. So yes, I’m proud of my babies and fuck all of you…

  • More About Books

    It’s been so many people who have disappointed me — but one thing that never has is books. From the moment I learned to read, books have been my constant friends. They’ve been there when people weren’t. They’ve taken me places I could only dream of and introduced me to lives so different from my…

  • The Human Side of Myths: Stories of Monsters and Spirits

    Across time and tongue, humanity has told the same stories under different stars. In the hush of night, around fires that crackled with both warmth and warning, people have whispered of spirits that rise, beasts that prowl, and angels that fall. But beneath every monster’s face and every god’s name lies something achingly human —…

  • The Myths We Carry

  • Grieving Isn’t Linear

    “They told me time would heal.But time doesn’t move in a straight line — it circles back.Some days, I laugh again.Some days, I break again.Grief isn’t a journey forward — it’s a spiral inward.” Healing isn’t forgetting — it’s remembering differently. “Just when I think I’ve healed…a song, a scent, a song on a Sunday…

  • Musical Musings

    When it comes to music, I gravitate towards music that fulfills a need in my soul. Now, the soul is a multifaceted being, therefore, my soul has different needs. Sometimes, my soul needs Donny Hathaway. Passionate. Longing. Poignant. On other days, my soul needs Sade. Silky. Cool. Sultry. And sometimes, my soul needs Too Short.…
