First Semester Chronicles: Utilize Your Resources
Over the summer, Michai and I agreed that he would take on more responsibility with his education and I wouldn’t be on the Aggie Access portal as much. It was partly due to not wanting to have to circle the block on his advisor, and it was also due to him being more mature and… Continue reading First Semester Chronicles: Utilize Your Resources
What A Time To Be Alive…Part 4
2014…I began having issues with the HVAC system. My finances were shitty. I lost my support through my grandparents and aunt because life shifted for them, too, so I could not afford to replace it. The system was old, the townhouse was built in the late 80s, and the systems the Home Warranty companies were… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 4
What A Time To Be Alive…Part 3
After learning I was pregnant the same night I graduated from undergrad in 2003, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to work 12-hour shifts as a nurse since that meant I was either going to miss my baby waking up or putting them to bed and I didn’t want to miss either. When… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 3

Added to the fact, it’s been 90 days since I’ve shared with y’all 😳🫢. We not only celebrated 100 Episodes of Our Kijiji with… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 2 (although posted first 😉)
Developmental Milestones Continue…
…to be reached by Michai (AND ME 😩)! The CDC’s list stops at 5 years. We need a list to help us get through these teenage years!!! As I talk to people, parents and those who aren’t parents, about things Michai says and does, a couple of things I constantly hear are, “He’ll learn” and… Continue reading Developmental Milestones Continue…
An Example of Being Black and Proud…
By now, I hope you’ve seen the cover photo a lot. I also hope you’re able to see it a lot more after purchasing the Comrade Sisters book. Saturday’s panel discussion was a proud experience for me to share with so many Black members of the Winston-Salem community. The opportunity was granted by women of… Continue reading An Example of Being Black and Proud…
Yesterday’s Fitbit/“Awaiting Carrier (FedEx) Pickup”/The Devil Is Busy/Women’s History/Competitive Spirit Chronicles…
I made it through last week’s Spring Break with y’all’s nephew, his gaming schedule and expensive eating habits, only to get home Sunday night and notice the face of my Fitbit was coming off on one side. I was too tired to investigate so I rested and decided I would deal with it yesterday morning.… Continue reading Yesterday’s Fitbit/“Awaiting Carrier (FedEx) Pickup”/The Devil Is Busy/Women’s History/Competitive Spirit Chronicles…
“This Joy That I Have…”
“…The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away!” The words I used to describe last night’s coloring party feel inadequate, so I’ll insert a recap here by sharing what I told the guests along with some additional comments based on what we experienced. ◦ You’re here for more than coloring. We’re asking… Continue reading “This Joy That I Have…”
