It can be hard to keep up with celebrity relationship low-down, but we certainly try.
The Women In Black
“I moved to California with my toddler and just $700 in my pocket.” Taraji Henson said looking decisively at the camera. It almost felt like she was looking at me. I had already failed at societys traditional expectations of having a relationship with your child’s father. And like most women separated from their baby daddy often feel: I felt like my dreams were so far out of my reach.

Ambition Unmasked
As a feminist, I have been able to rise to power though not always hold onto it. Once I had my seat at the table, I conformed and fit in. I never earned the C-Suite role I so desired in a corporate setting, yet in my volunteer organization I am viewed as a Director and sought after to host events leading teams of 20 or more people. This is something I want to figure out as I have a couple decades to go in the work force. It is no longer about climbing to the top of an organization. It is about earning a position of power in order to create space for others. I am not black, though I can recognize when someone is being marginalized.

Team Farrow
Before I say anything else, I want to say that anything I’ve written here are my own opinions formed by much research and my viewings of the available episodes of "Allen V. Farrow" on HBO. I don’t know any of the individual parties involved or have any first-hand knowledge of what may or may not have occurred. I have zero interest in exploiting or antagonizing anyone involved. All I simply want to do is share my thoughts on this series, and everything surrounding it.

International Women's Day and the Hypocrisy of the Media
International Women’s Day, celebrated on the 8th of March annually is meant to be a focal point in the movement for women’s rights. Highlighting the various contributions women have made in our society, which is great. I totally agree that we should highlight the amazing achievements these women have made. Women are incredible, and if you disagree thats a you problem. Obviously the significance of International Women’s Day is not lost on me. Women are still not being paid equally as men (even though they are just as just as qualified), their rights to a safe abortion are being taken away, and the causal misogyny that most women have to face on a daily basis is appalling. We need to do better people, it’s 2021 this behaviour is not acceptable.

The Little Black Money Book
There it was, just sitting on the edge of her desk. Every contact and relation she had, all tidy in one little black book. It would fit into my breast pocket and nobody would even notice. She would be gone the rest of the weekend and I could have it back by Sunday night before she came back on Monday.

Dirty Underwear and Scarves from Elvis
My grandfather never told me how he came into possession of Elvis’ scarf. The pale blue scarf was in decent shape lying on the kitchen table next to a faded yellow advertisement of the 1975 New Year’s Eve show in Detroit, Michigan. Beside the scarf were two Hummel figures, a hiking boy and a girl sitting with an umbrella. Dan, my older brother, ate cereal against the counter with a smile on his face.

Wanda Sykes - My one true crush
"That's fine, that's fine. Just don't bring home someone too dark skinned. I might not be able to handle it too well." I remember my dad saying those words not long after I announced that I had the biggest crush on this Hispanic boy in Cegep. He was cute, kind and totally my type, but somehow, my confession soon become a conversation about race.
