A lot has happened in the past 24° related to football and I wasn’t going to say anything after Friday night, yet yesterday’s games took things over the edge! Friday night was Mount Tabor’s Homecoming and it was nice to see classes as early as ‘89 come to the game. What wasn’t nice is the… Continue reading Couch Coaching

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

When… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 3

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…

“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…”

It’s Party Time…🎉🎁🍾

It’s been busy around these parts, so let this serve as November’s and December’s post 💁🏾. Let me also pause to publicly share how grateful I am for what life is offering me at this moment. Watching kids grow up holistically, feeling like a safe space for said kids (and some adults) to trust their… Continue reading It’s Party Time…🎉🎁🍾
