Michai is employed and you can’t tell him nothing! He had Civics and Economics in the Fall of 2019, where they discussed subject matter such as taxes and cost of living. He also participates in a finance class through Crosby Scholar’s AAMPED, so when I saw him calculating what he thought was to be deposited… Continue reading Happy Birthday To Michai And His Dad (Sort Of…)

Today’s “Diversity” In Business/Black Parenting Chronicles…05.26.2020
Today’s “Diversity” In Business/Black Parenting Chronicles… I was barely off the phone with the new agency before I received the e-mail below. I pay attention to marketing. This agency merged their business with a financial planning company and I didn’t see nary person who looked like me. I want to respond by saying, “I’m leaving… Continue reading Today’s “Diversity” In Business/Black Parenting Chronicles…05.26.2020
Today’s Graduation/Financial Aid Chronicles…05.24.2020
My sister started my day talking about credit reports so I thought I’d share some things with y’all. When you know better, say it with me…”YOU DO BETTER”…and since this is graduation season, I don’t mind being transparent about lessons I’ve learned. This is absolutely ‘bloggable’, but I don’t feel like using that format, so… Continue reading Today’s Graduation/Financial Aid Chronicles…05.24.2020
What Goes On In This House, Stays In This House…or does it?
People were frequently at my grandparent’s house seeking wisdom and/or gossiping. They knew their secrets, lies and gossip were safe in those walls because my grandparents weren’t messy people. What they didn’t know is my grandmother instilled the saying, “What goes on in this house, stays in this house…”, so we were fearful about repeating… Continue reading What Goes On In This House, Stays In This House…or does it?
What’s On Your List?
☝🏾This was just to lure you here. It ain’t gon’ be that deep…today. 😉 I’m running out of entertainment options. Mainly because my “kitchens” are giving me a headache and I just want to wake up to my hair being flat ironed. For those who need help with “kitchens”; Urban Dictionary will help. I started… Continue reading What’s On Your List?
Are We Really Woke?
Emotional Rollercoaster does not adequately describe how I’ve been feeling. I was fine with the schools closing, I was fine with being moved to “work from home” on my full-time job, I was fine with being called in more on my part-time job, I was fine with not having my hair and nails done…wait, I’m… Continue reading Are We Really Woke?

Today’s Life Chronicles… I’ve wanted to work in healthcare since I was in the 3rd grade and learned police officers didn’t make a lot of money and I would have to do too much reading to be a lawyer. Prior to the outbreak, I signed up to work at the facility 3 days this week.… Continue reading 03.16.2020

Today’s International Women’s Day Chronicles… Started by group messaging my sister and mother about life stuff. I transported Michai and his friends to training. A mom from the village group of moms picked them up, which allowed me to visit WSSU’s softball game…Pic 1. Janel Brown visited me there so I could purchase more Bobz, and… Continue reading 03.08.2020

Today’s Birthday Chronicles… Y’all have read about her personality traits over the years. They remain the same. I’m showing these photos to represent how supportive she is. As long as it didn’t interrupt her super early bedtime, she has always shown up to be our loudest cheerleader. Michai loves her, and she loves him, but… Continue reading 03.07.2020

Today’s Work/Virus/Parenting Chronicles… Now that I have your attention, the movie “Just Mercy”, albeit an enlightening and well documented piece of art, let the world know of the injustices happening in Alabama. It’s hard for racists to admit their wrongdoings, so they would rather speed up the process to get rid of evidence of their… Continue reading 03.06.2020
