I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love.

Happy Self-Love Sunday! Today's post is on the importance of guarding your heart and protecting your peace especially during unpredictable times.

Mourning, again

As a black woman, I stand at this shore once again. Praying I won’t be swept away, praying this tide won’t pull me in, this heavy trauma, this heartache of a life, this suffocating reality.

Mourning Mothers

Holidays aren’t always enjoyable. This post is for those who can resonate with longing, loss, desire and emptiness.

Understanding People and Relationships

Exploring the harmful concept of allowing social media to define your understanding of relationships and people.

Buildings Made from Ruins

Happy Free-Thinking Friday & Happy National Poetry month! This is the first piece I’ve written since February. Please enjoy my extremely raw art. I hope you can resonate with these word.
