Ode to the Journey

Happy Free-Thinking Friday! Current events are overwhelming so I’m here to share a few words about the most beautiful addition to my life, my locs.

I’ve been Coping

I'm learning the importance of taking necessary breaks to heal, feel, process and cope. I've added a few habits to my daily life that have assisted in this process. Hope this resonates with you.

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.

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.

My Musings

My Musings: I'm learning to write even when I feel I have nothing to share. During this season of chaos, I'm redefining calm.

Moments of Weakness

Moments of Weakness: I am grateful for moments that show me who I am and how much I need to grow.

What Xmas Means to Me

What Xmas Means to Me: This holiday season I’ve been focusing my energy on the people I love and the time I’m able to spend with them.
