Unique
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique? Anthony loves to thrift. My dad use to love going to yard sales. I don’t. When I look at Anthony’s “fits” (that’s what they call their outfits now), they are always “him.” His is eccentric and he likes what he likes. His tees make me laugh… Continue reading

Don’t Ever Lower Your Standards
A few days ago I sent Jason a video of Sedi and I laughed at his response, “…just like mommy.” I’ll get to my point soon. Desmond said today while we were in FaceTime for me to take a photo before I rebraided my hair because we were “twinning.” And someone shared she has many… Continue reading

Patience …
It might take days or years, but trust God will always reveal wrong. After many many months; actually since Sedi has been out of the NICU, I was able to finally get full time nurse care for Sedinam! I shared this recently. This is provided through a service called EFMP and ECHO that is provided… Continue reading

God is working on me. Today as I drove to get Sedi’s bloodwork, I got mad for baby mommas. I called Des and pretty much went off. And I’m not mad for myself, but I really am angry for all the baby mommas with sorry ass men! Screenshot this, send it to an attorney, do… Continue reading

Realistically…
During class last week, my professor opened up with “I’m checking in. How are you all feeling?” She followed up with sharing that she overheard a conversation that students were having about Tyre Nichols. The conversation was being held by me and two other classmates. Ironically we are all HBCU graduates. We are all working… Continue reading
About Me
I have been afforded the ability to accept the many trials, laughs, tribulations that life throws my way and embrace them as much as possible. I am a mom, a lover of life, and person that reflects too much.
