I am back
Its been a while, and I have considered cutting the blogging out altogether, but God had other plans. I am happy to return. This is especially true during this time. I want to process through the things I’ve learned and am continuing to learn. So, let me reintroduce this blog. This is me processing the…

Dear Breonna
Breonna you don’t know my name but I know yours. You don’t know my face but I know yours. My tears join the ones your family shed to soften the soil you are buried in with the others who didn’t see justice on this side. Soften the blow of the bullets Soften the blow of…

Privilege
This word has become a stigma in our society especially if you add white in front of it. A few years ago, I was processing why it would be triggering to some to be called privileged or to ask to acknowledge their privilege and I began to think of my own. Privilege defined is a…

People Pleasing
I remember there was a Walmart I used to visit all the time. Sometimes I would buy something and sometimes I wouldn’t. I remember one day going in and not finding anything I wanted and I was suddenly feeling very aware of my state. I had a large purse big enough to stash some things…

Lifting The Veil
Imagine walking into work one day and suddenly being ushered onto a stage facing hundreds of people. You have been awarded for your work and now you have to give a speech. Totally unprepared, you have to put on a mask of cool confidence and hope that people don’t see through it. I imagine we…

Grace
I’m a retrospect type of girl, Haha. I find myself going through old pictures or looking at old pieces of writing and thinking that I looked really pretty or that I had a really insightful message. I give a lot of grace to the old me but not much to the present me. I remember…
