​August 5, 2019 Dear Dearest,  I am the survivor of a physically abusive relationship from my husband who I haven’t seen in 4 years. I was a coward and I exposed my children, who were 10 and 8 at the time to their father physically violating me, breaking my nose, damaging my vison among other things. I never ...

August 4, 2019 Dear Dearest,   I have been with the same individual for 3 years. We started doing business together until we realized we had great chemistry. We had to immediately “x” the business relationship because it caused too much conflict with the new way that we looked at each other. We have even been disgraceful, f...

Charlotte Royalty, Anthony Hamilton - Hot Sauce

CC1113D2-399C-42CC-B63D-FAF03EE1A713
I believe the ancestors would have been tickled pink to see us Black Folks, being treated like royalty, with elaborate table settings, and scrumptious fixings of cornbread, fish and collard greens. Gathering at Londa's Place, a castle that some would have never imagined one of us owning, we packed all hues of Black and Browns to...

May 22, 2019 was my last day of working at a local school in Charlotte.

Every Father Has A Message

There is a message planted in every father. If you discover it, that will be his greatest gift to you. If you miss it, he will take it to the grave, in hopes that the spirit will see you through.  A real father is the sun of every child. But the sun sometimes misses a plant or two. The sun causes drought and doesn’t ever&nb...

So you are saying, you are the victim Linda Fairstein?

E1EE95D7-C617-4CEA-8781-E72A786D125A
God has a way that’s mighty sweet and I always say you can’t persecute, hurt, oppress or victimize people without the universe taking its shot on you. Malcolm X eloquently coined it as, “the chickens coming home to roost”, while some say it’s the bitch of Karma. I like to use the Bible, and say vengeance is the Lord’s.  You see ...
