I was listening to some of the latest songs when time stopped. I was no longer as strong and fearless...I was transported back to a time when I didn’t believe I was enough. This post is for every brown girl who has ever been haunted by demeaning lyrics.

If I Could Fly: Steps to Self-Realization
To the Poets who Came before Me
Last Sunday I went to a poetry show featuring four amazing poets.The experience was completely amazing and I am forever grateful for it. This Free-Thinking Friday I am sharing my experience as well as an open letter to all the poets who came before me.
Roses Reincarnated
A poem by Courtney Peppernell inspired me to rewrite a poem I wrote about love in 2014. It's beautiful to witness my own personal growth and redefining of the word "love". Spoiler Alert: If you are withering, my dear, it is not love.
The Fear of Falling
I've never been afraid of heights but I've always grappled with this intense fear of falling. I don't like feeling out of control or not knowing what awaits me at the bottom.
Being Present
Allow yourself to be present and to be purposeful and to be aware and to experience success and failure with an open heart and an open mind.
The Only Words I Have
Happy Free-Thinking Friday everyone! Fridays always meet me with deep gratitude and intense exhaustion, especially when my week was full and busy. What are you feeling today? I hope my experience resonates with you.
Words from the Week
Happy Free-Thinking Friday!! I've been challenging myself to write more often so I spent some time this week doing just that. I hope you enjoy "words from the week"
The Manipulation of Love
Once I realized that my definition of “love” was synonymous with “pain” I knew that I had to re-evaluate and redefine a lot of things.
Metamorphosis
I am in the process of metamorphosis. I am hanging on to what was and hoping to find success in what will be. I am growing each and every day & I am redefining myself with each step.
