Challenge Me: Day #15 (Silence)
Silence is such an underrated quality of life. In a world where everything is shared, photographed, and more, silence is becoming a lost art. I’m not talking about the “negative” silence (remaining silent in the face of oppression, both literally and figuratively). I’m talking about that stone cold silence. That silence you “hear” when you’re laying… Read More Challenge Me: Day #15 (Silence)
Challenge Me: Day #14 (Life & Death)
Today, I’m thankful for “life” and having the ability to wake up on my own two feet. Someone in the world didn’t wake up and I know that they wished they could’ve felt the rays of the sun on their face.

“Me Too”… Those two words created a much-needed conversation about sexual assault and harassment that people have experienced in their lives. Although actress Alyssa Milano is being credited for making this movement happen, alas, the truth comes out and once again, a Black woman was ahead of the game. How ahead of the game you… Read More Challenge Me: Day #9
Challenge Me: Day #1
During my last therapy session, my therapist noted that I should do more for my own self-care and well-being as I prepare for this next year of my life (birthday is on Saturday). I was taken aback by her suggestion, but if I’m going to be honest, it’s been one hell of a year and… Read More Challenge Me: Day #1
