Decid(h)er
In a world of NFTs, fake news, and quarantine mind melt, it is difficult to know what is real. As I reflect back on the few strange in-door months of 2021, I wish I could have done something real to honor the women in my life during International Women's Month. I particularly fell short celebrating the incredible Black women that I know. Some of these women I have worked for, some of them have been colleagues, others lovers and still more friends. All of them have been my teachers and all of them lift my experience on this planet.

Taking a Page from My Book
Leo's scent slithers by my nose as I pull another one of my sun dresses from the plastic storage bin. Carmel brandy and ocean salt settle in a greasy cloud around my head. Typical. My own clothes smell of him. Impressionable linen never stood a chance against his penetrative charm.
