  • An Ode to Rosemary

    Two weeks ago, a very special lady crossed over into eternity and her name was Rosemary. She was my first cousin and she was loved by many. As a child, she was the most glamorous woman in the world to me and she brought excitement with her presence whenever she showed up. She was this…

  • The Art of Aging in a Culture That Worships Youth

    If the lord is willing and the creek don’t rise as the elders used to say, I will be 52 years old in November and what an amazing journey it has been.

  • Grief is a Weird Thing

    Two years has passed since my brother died, and I’ve experienced a multiple of emotions ranging from the deepest despair to raging anger and anxiety.

  • Dirty Little Secrets & the Black Community

    The most dirtiest secret in the Black community is the lack of concern and empathy for its women and children. When any crime is committed against either of these two groups, they are blamed and the crime is justified. And ignored. As a result of this sick mentality, 1484 Black women and girls were murdered…

    Black folks (including Black women) don’t like women and girls. They really don’t. And for those who think this is a figment of my imagination and I’m lying, shut the fuck up. And listen to what I’m about to say. When a Black woman or girl is murdered, she is blamed for being murdered and…

  • The Original Black Feminist Gangster – Ida B. Wells – Barnett

    From a college paper written many moons ago…… My first introduction to Ida B. Wells-Barnett was during Black History Month when I was in grade school.  Other than that, her history was alien to me as someone from Mars.  Of course her name was familiar to me; there used to be a housing project on…

  • Self Love & Why It’s So Important to Black Women

    It’s time sisters. It’s time to love yourselves and stop worrying about men who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. The same group of men who spend their days and nights on the social media defaming your character and calling you bald headed, ugly, Black ass bitches. I know it’s hard living…

  • The Fake Ass Online War on Black Single Mothers

    For 13 years, it has been an online war on single Black mothers perpetrated by Black men that is pathetic and disgusting. And it’s fake as fuck. Let me break it down how fake this war is. These dudes get on various social media platforms ranting and raving about Black single mothers, calling them everything…
