A BLACK Face In Need of a WHITE Coat
It’s the time of year again that strikes a nerve & grinds the gears of every racist throughout the nation. It’s BLACK History month. It’s the month that black Americans are reminded of every Jim Crow law, the unjust theft of every birthright we had, every life lost, & every punishment during slavery; but we’re also reminded of the strength & resilience of our black ancestors.

The Church Robbed me of Motherhood
My unexpected journey of motherhood began about 10 years ago in July of 2011. I never expected to be pregnant. I only took a pregnancy test for the heck of it. I remember that my exact reason for “peeing on the stick” was just to see what it would say.

Now, You’re Speaking My Language
Did you know love had a language? I had no idea it spoke anything other than butterflies in the stomach, flutters in the heart, & sometimes tears in the eyes. Turns out, love has multiple languages, & just like others—it has to be learned because everyone speaks it differently.

The Face of Depression
What does depression look like? Simply put, it looks “normal.” It looks “healthy.” My depression looks like a genuine smile. It sounds like gut wrenching laughter. It smells fresh & clean from a recent shower. It appears organized during my daily work tasks & responsibilities.

NEW DRAFT - Journey to 30
December 3, 2021. Year 30. Someone told me that 30 hurts. Today — I will glance in the rearview mirror to see all the experiences & memories my 20’s left behind. It’s difficult to recall my “younger” days or my yesteryears, not because I don’t remember; but rather due to the possibility of reopening old wounds. Honestly, I don’t want to remember.

Give or Take?
Birthdays. Anniversaries. Christmas. Valentine’s Day. Just Because. These are ALL reasons or occasions to purchase gifts. If you are anything like me, choosing the right gift for your significant other is difficult. Gift buying time makes you question just how well you really know the person you’re with. You spend hours, days, weeks, & sometimes even months trying to find the “perfect” gifts.

The Pack’s Pact
Madeline Turner sat alone at the lunch table. It was the first day of her freshman year, and she had just transferred to Lake Longwood Academy after her last little mishap at Cedar Beech Academy. A “mishap” that she dared not speak of but thought about often. She couldn’t help that the little girl died. It wasn’t her fault. She didn’t actually do anything. She just listened. Who knows what really happened? In fact, the little girl’s cause of death really wasn’t confirmed. It didn’t matter. She was a nobody, that’s why she was chosen. Nobody even remembered her name.

Dating is hard in this day, especially this new age tomfoolery! Either you’re busy working, parenting, schooling, quarantining, or just don’t feel like going out of the house to meet anyone! Throw in COVID 19 “social distancing,” & you’re screwed.
