The beauty of Blackness in all its EssenceFest

So I'm usually not one who likes to harp too much on my Blackness. Like I look Black, I talk Black (for whatever that means), and my entire world is Black (Despite what folks might think as a LA Native). Hell, I have the Black power fist tatted on me. I don't need to make...

Alpha, maybe hold the Omega tho.

It's a curious thing to translate your love language to someone and hear them speak it back. To feel their understanding when you didn't even know if they heard you clearly. Me: “If the title of my blog was, "So about this guy I'm "seriously talking to" here's the thing," what would it say?!" "I...

Happy. Healthy. Whole.

If you know me, then you know that I've adopted the mantra of Happy, Healthy, Whole over the last few years. For me, it's taking on many forms. At times it was a plea; other times, it's been a war cry. Now, it is a way of life. I've decided that taking back my power...

If it isn’t love…

Welp, it's the day after Valentine's Day or, as some like to refer to it, Happy side-chick day. LOL. As of yesterday, some folks either were made extremely happy with the love their partner showed them, got a rude awakening of just where they stand with someone, felt lonely, or didn't give a damn cause...

Healing isn’t linear.

So one of the things that I've learned on my healing journey is that it is not linear. There is no one size fits all approach to landing in some fully healed place in the "appropriate" amount of time to move on to the next chapter in your life. It is constant, and at times...

New Year, Who Dis?

The universe conspires for my greater good, and I must trust it. I have no idea who needs to hear this or what the last two years have been like for you. I want you to know that if you made some hard decisions and feel at peace with them, then this is confirmation that...

Self discovery be like…

Self-Discovery be like....wake up!!! You’ve got a whole ass, beautiful ass, love, and happiness filled, success having, wildest dreams come truest life to live.

Faith in the face of fear. Calm amid chaos.

So obviously we are all dealing with the reality that we are very much so in the middle of a real-life pandemic. Now, of course, as with anything, responses to something like this is going to vary. Everyone has their way of coping, and perhaps now more than ever, whatever that may be, we all...

“What are you afraid of?”

"What are you afraid of?”, a question that can be super generic depending on whose asking and answering. I mean, I could go down a list of things I'm afraid of that would answer the question perfectly fine. Spiders, the dark, snakes, heck, I just had to turn the light on to watch the end...

How to comfort someone who is grieving.

One of the most challenging things to go through, particularly when you are an empath like I am, is to be there for someone while they are grieving. Its a tough balance to strike between caring for them while still caring for yourself. One cannot exist without the other, and it is not selfish to...
