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.

Black Boy Joy: The Rainbow of Durags

I’m learning not to take someone’s presence in my life for granted. On this journey to be entirely more grateful and vocal about this gratefulness, I’m using something I love (writing) to express my love. Remember to give your loved ones flowers while they can still smell them ✨
