You Better Celebrate Your Workā¦before a white woman takes the credit šš¾āāļø
Many will agree that social media has created a platform for people to constantly compare themselves, show only their āgood sidesā, and for people to gain virtual courage. Others will talk about how this current generation posts too much, and in fact, I have a shirt that reads, āYou Post Too Much.ā However, while I… Continue reading You Better Celebrate Your Workā¦before a white woman takes the credit šš¾āāļø
Winston-Salem Needs A Whole āLotta Loveāā¦
Being an introvert is often a topic of my conversations, and Iāve recently included discussions about being an empath. Both help me describe my emotions and attribute to what Iām feeling at a particular time. The two topics have become more accepted since the pandemic, but they still do not eliminate the literal and figurative… Continue reading Winston-Salem Needs A Whole āLotta Loveāā¦
Watch Your āMoufā!
Saturdayās Vlog included discussion of how we need to increase our advocacy for Black women. It came on the heels of feeling isolated during a board meeting last Monday, my Facebook comments being deleted from someoneās post about Brittney Griner last Tuesday, and an overall exhaustion of showing up for everyone else, but not witnessing… Continue reading Watch Your āMoufā!

Our Journey to Graduation During a Pandemicā¦Part 1
One of the only reasons Michai allows me to continue to post about him is because he knows how much heās learned from other peopleās life experiences. He also understands that one of the only reasons I will continue to share is if I can be transparent about the positive and not so positive things… Continue reading Our Journey to Graduation During a Pandemicā¦Part 1
āViolence IS an Equity Issueā
Since I started hosting the Vlog, Iāve been saying most of what I would typically write. Yet, Iāve still tried to post something once a month for the sake of consistency. I thought my ātributeā to my late client would be the post for this month but, after participating on a panel today, I received… Continue reading āViolence IS an Equity Issueā
āThank You For Being A Friendā¦ā
We ended 2021 losing Americaās Golden Girl, Betty White. We learned today of the loss of a father/friend/mentor to many, as well as, an incredible history makerā¦Sidney Poitier. Before losing both of them, I lost a dear friend by the name of Ms. Peggy. If you want to learn a little more about her, she… Continue reading āThank You For Being A Friendā¦ā
āOh Be Careful Little Mouth What You Sayā
Being intentional about the energy and words I put into the atmosphere is really important to me, because the universe has a way of shifting and making me seem like a liar (a behavior I despise). A few weeks ago, I was invited to join some WSSU Alums to take a trip to watch the… Continue reading āOh Be Careful Little Mouth What You Sayā
