Two Years Later, I Still Have Cancer But Cancer Still Doesn’t Have Me

December 12, 2019

Two years ago, my world stopped, and I experienced a fear that today I still can’t verbalize. Although this wasn’t the first time, I had encountered fear, fear had never halted my living until that moment. December 11, 2017, was the day I met my crisis. This was the day my Hematologist/Oncologist Dr. Neal informed me that I had Multiple Myeloma (Blood cancer). My memory has failed me on a few ... View Post

Confessions Of A Fat Girl: I Decided To Have Gastric Bypass And I Don’t Give A Damn Who Doesn’t Like It; Here’s Why

December 11, 2018

I think it is fucked up that one of the things that makes me great is trying to kill me. All my life I have known that my superpower was me, a girl who survived trauma and evolved into a woman filled with passion. Being a woman allowed me access to God’s greatest gift, motherhood. However, after serving its greatest purpose, my uterus is trying to kill me... LITERALLY! Many of you may have ... View Post

Crises are nature's way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place." - Susan L. Taylor Most of you have followed and witnessed my growth so you know my life has never been perfect. I started 2017 with a tornado slamming our home, leaving us living in a hotel for months. ...

Caring For Your Natural Hair After You B.C(Big Chop)

November 20, 2014

After kicking Cancer's ass, I was left with several scars (mostly emotional ) and a big ass head with little to no hair. For nearly a year, I used weaves and wigs to hide the fact that I was practically bald. I can honestly say that this was done out of insecurity because I thought that I needed hair to help define me.  In April 2012 I decided to Big Chop what was left of my hair. I cannot say ...

I AM NOT MY HAIR!

April 19, 2014

Today official makes 2 years since I shed what was then dead(my hair). Since I left home for Albany State College (now Albany State University ), I had been abusing my hair. Cutting,  weaving, coloring and everything in between.  Lord know I have over processed this hair to the point where all of it should have fell out but it didn't.  When my bestie Shannette was alive, she tried ...

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex.

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
