At War
I remember college I had a friend that asked me ‘what does it feel like to be black’? It was the first time that I had been asked, so It intrigued me. I had never thought about it consciously, but I must have thought about it subconsciously because of the metaphoric answer I gave him. I said “It feels like I’m at war”. After that day, I began to think about it more consciously. Why war? When one thinks about war, they think about fighting, guns, nuclear bombs, tanks, and death. So, how could I be at war? I’m not in the military nor am I in an armed conflict with another country or nation. But there is a conflict. In fact, there are many.

Wonder Woman
Dear Mom, You are my hero! There are so many times I sit back and wonder how you do it. Being a single mother, working, and supporting each of your kids dreams, only someone with special powers can do something like that. Growing up was tough. Coming from a place where it is easier to join a gang than it is to join a after school program, you were the one who kept me focused and protected me as a kid. I am forever grateful for that.
