Black folks have this innate ability to transfer energy. I went to a friend’s house warming and before everyone left we all gathered to pray over her and her new home. Praying to white jesus is not my thing, but I do recognize and respect the tradition. I just choose to meditate or observe with…

Fuck You: Why Jill Scott Is All Of A Sudden Desirable
Get The Fuck Outta Here with that bullshit! Fuck You (in my most sincere Samuel L. Jackson robbing the McDowell’s voice). Now all of a sudden Jill Scott is desirable because it looks like she can give good head. All the men who be on that trap and ain’t got time for artistry. All the…
Five Days in Memphis
And at the age of 36 I realized…This is what my mom and aunts used to abandon us and do. Shoot the shit at a juke joint-esque establishment. Drankin, smokin, talkin shit, and tryna get boo’d up. The exact moment was when the band broke into Bobby Womack’s “I Wish She Didn’t Trust Me So…
Love Is…A Crock of Shit.
Sooo, I accidentally tuned in to this Love Is show… and it is…A Crock of Shit. The latest episode where Loretta Divine delivers the best monologue since Daddy Pope was all in all good. But my issue is with the recurring theme of black women having to suffer, put themselves out, take one for the…
It’s okay to go wrong, but it’s not okay to stay wrong
It’s okay to go wrong, but it’s not okay to stay wrong. I was in a meeting and a city leader gave those words of wisdom. In life we make mistakes, but we must learn from those mistakes and correct course. In this new year let’s not beat ourselves up for being less than perfect….
They Are Upset Because A White Lady Got Killed In Charlottesville
Let me point out the obvious. Black folks have been slaughtered by the system for generations. But I pose to you this question: Are the whites upset because of the injustice, inequality, denying of humanity, and hate displayed towards Black people in this country OR are they upset because a white lady got killed in…
Microaggressions: The Weeds That Sully The Earth
According to Psychology Today, ” Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.” I am so tired of blocking the microaggressions of people in everyday life. The damn weeds that…
Knowing When to Remove Yourself from Negative Energy Forces
In 2016 I did not participate in the Thrill the World LA. Not because I didn’t want to, but because the energy, intention, and fun of the group had changed. It was a lesson in knowing when to remove yourself from negative energy forces. As I get older I am feverishly removing the bullshit….
When you’ve lost the audacity of hope: The 2016 Election
The morning after…When you’ve lost the audacity of hope. Took me a while to even get together the courage to write out my thoughts and feeling on this. Racism, hate, white supremacy, trump…we’re in a sad state of affairs ya’ll. I had the audacity of hope. Like falling in love, I would have been better…
Yesterday I Did Not Pledge Allegiance To The Flag
Yesterday I Did Not Pledge Allegiance To The Flag. I attended a community town hall in the San Fernando Valley and I decided not to participate in the pledge of allegiance. It was not planned. I just went with my heart. We’d walked in right as they were asking people to stand and recite the…
