Double Nickels Coming Up Shortly
In just a few months, I’ll be 55 years old—and I can’t wait. To some people, that probably sounds strange, because society is obsessed with youth and soaked in ageism. But honestly? I don’t give a flying fuck. I’ve lived. I’ve survived. I’ve been through storms most people couldn’t imagine. Health scares. The heartbreak of…

A Message for My People
Most Black folks are regular people. We go to work and take care of our families. We have regular friends and family members. We live in regular neighborhoods. We lead regular lives. I know that the social media has destroyed the brain cells of so many people and got them thinking stupid shit but damn.…

Selling “Femininity” to Gullible Black Women
I’m not watching any YouTube videos on femininity. I’m not cutting my hair and getting a long, flowing weave. I’m just going to do what women have been doing for centuries to make it in this world: surviving by their wits if they have any.

The Big 55

Eight Years Without Prince💜💜💜
On this day eight years ago, the world lost one of the greatest musicians of all time, Prince. His music was the soundtrack of my childhood, my teenage years, young adulthood years, and my grown ass woman life, and the world has been a dull, gray mess without his presence. He was a man who…

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…
