Quote of the Day by Pamela Hale-Burns
These words shared today by Pamela Hale-Burns moved me so that I was motivated to stop what I was doing to take her words and provide a visual stimulant. She was speaking to herself but I’m sure just like others who read the words, it feels as though the words are just for me. So…

Part Four: A Conversation About Female-Male Relationships in the Black Community
But when will we individually and collectively say, “no more” and mean it? When will we stop subscribing to past lies masqueraded as truths? When will we stop buying into the stereotypes that were created as propaganda mechanisms to divide? When will we stop perpetuating the lies that even our elders told because they didn’t…

Part Three- a Message to the Women: A Conversation About Female-Male Relationships in the Black Community
I’m sure that most of you expected me to lash out and badmouth the men in yesterday’s post. You were probably expecting the “angry black woman” to come out, full steam, head twirling, and eyes rolling. Didn’t I say to stop subscribing to stereotypes and labels? Didn’t I say that I’m trying to do my…

What I Shared With a Student That May be Helpful to You
I hope that it helps to snatch them out of their pit and motivates them to run, walk, crawl or even roll to the victory line. They may not cross in first place, but they will cross. Every race we start we’re expected to finish.

Part One: A Conversation About Female-Male Relationships in the Black Community
After watching this brief clip that someone posted on Facebook that shows a recording of an episode where Iyanla Vanzandt has Black men and women openly expressing their hurts, anger, and disappointments, I share in this multi-part reflection and plea that I’ve started below. I know that it can apply to any ethnicity of people…

Read This. Please.
Would you do something for me? Well, it’s not actually for me. Would you pause for the next few moments and look around you, very slowly and intentionally; paying close attention to every detail. What do you see, hear, smell, and feel? Take it all in. Don’t rush it. Now please do something else… I…

This Week I Think of and Celebrate Brandon
March 20, 2018 would have been Brandon’s 36th birthday. I can never forget my friend’s birthday. My iPhone calendar reminds me one week before and also on the day of. Also, his birthday is the day before my paternal grandmother’s. This week I’ve spent each day reflecting over my memories of Brandon Clarke, aka “B…

Happy Birthday to My Paternal Grandmother, I Know She’s Smiling and Celebrating Too!
I miss her so much, but I know she’s with me always. I can hear her voice, the songs she would sing, that contagious laugh, those declarations of God’s Truth. I can see her smile—through her eyes, so bright and beautiful that it kisses your soul. Today is my paternal grandmother’s birthday and rather than…

Thought of the Day: Closing Doors to the Past
Do you hear that? Listen closely. That is the sound of a door to the past closing. You have the options of locking it and storing the key or tossing it to never be reclaimed. You can also choose to keep it unlocked, knowing that every time that door to the past opens a flood…

Today I Have Mixed Emotions Tied to “Death” and Celebration
Today I spent several hours at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. It was a gift from my friends T&J, who wanted to honor me through my next chapter in life. So from the pictures below you can see that I enjoyed myself. But today was more than a Porsche girl’s speed and power fix…

Thought of the Day: Run Your Race, Stop Being Distracted by Others
A few years ago I was cycling with a group of friends on the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia. Someone said to me that they admired that I wasn’t concerned with keeping up with the fastest, more experienced cyclists—that I always remained focused on riding at my pace. I told him, “I’m focused on me…
