Stoner's Unite
It amazes me how taboo smoking marijuana is when it comes to being a mother. We accept that moms drink wine or let loose with harder liquor yet, smoking weed is not mother material. Excuse me, I did not know passing out drunk and having your children watch you fall, and stubble drunk is way more acceptable behavior. I don't judge; we pick different paths. I want to point out that both have an equal stigma that you can attach to it.

What is your biggest stopper to love yourself?
I have this terrible tendency of overthinking. Also, thinking that I am not good enough. My self-esteem has been demolished by my own thoughts, partially contributed to what others think of me. People always say, “who cares what people think?” I just know subconsciously it bothers all of us. Yeah, our exterior says otherwise, “fuck you!” Yet, in the back of your mind, it hurts, it’s offensive, it makes you question yourself.

Prompt: The Creeps
What is your story? People are fighting for what they believe in, in their hearts. We struggle with different faces that we have to put on to make sure we reflect another perspective on those who view us in the world. Some say this would be called a Jack/Jane of all trades. Have you found yourself drowning in your problems? Have you found a way out? Or do they attach themselves to you like shackles that you are unable to break? Can you tell your darkest secret out loud for the world to hear? Do you think that could release some of the pain that you feel? We hide the things we don't want people to see about us for fear of judgment.

Racism in Healthcare in the United States of Amerikkka
An issue that I have wanted to speak on for years. A silent problem that people of color deal with, affecting their care. Now that health care is trending, the time is now. We have openly talked about police brutality for months, rightfully so. However, during the middle of a pandemic, health care officials are faced with decisions. Would you trust your provider to make the best decision for you? Speaking from the perspective of a black woman who has worked in health care, along with receiving care, my opinions are from experience. While I was pregnant with my youngest son back in 2018, I ended up with heart palpations towards the end of my second trimester.

My Divorce Story
I fell in love in 2011 with someone I thought was the rest of my life. In reality, I was young, naive, and was not thinking at all, thinking more of the word dysfunctional. At 22 years old, I got pregnant. The father of my daughter did not want any nothing to do with me at the time; we were young, so his immediate response was to get rid of it, and when I did not do that, he just decided not to come around for years—broken long before I even decided to get married to my soon to be ex-husband. What excuse can you have other than accountability? Now that I am ready to talk about this, I want to make sure that I start from the beginning.

A Reflection of a year of unrest
The most painful year, to say the least, see the silverling before the people start coming t me as if I am not expressing my pain. I am a black woman, I have black children, and the world that I see around me is not what I want my children to grow up in yet be apart of such hate. I practice love, kindness, and patience with my children. I don't want them to grow up hating anyone, primarily because of their skin color. Where are we safe as black people? Black people are continually broke down to less than our white counterparts. Which is a tactic to make the other person feel superior because our black lives scare them that we would be somehow become "superior" to them? A saying goes, "You fear what you don't understand." To just try to get to know us as people, you will see the perception taught or thoughts is utterly wrong for the majority.

Racial Sensitivity Training
I have always been very into politics but never vocal about it; we all know that its taboo to talk about, well it was previously. After looking into social justice topics, racial sensitivity training in the workplace stood out. According to a study by Research Roundtable on Gender and the Economy held, states that diversity training could be not as practical for employers. It also noted that racial sensitivity training could be due to more harm in the workplace than good.

What’s in the dark?
In a time before the civil war of 2067 in Whittier, Alaska was somewhat a thriving town. A place for prominent fishing, beautiful scenery, and full of fantastic wildlife. The caveat is everyone in town hives in the same on the building. She cursed herself for waiting so late to leave Anchorage to get to Whittier, Alaska, before the tunnel closed. She has not been home in Whittier since she was a little girl so, she wasn’t sure if the tunnel still had a closing time from 10 PM to 6 AM.
