Days and evenings spent at Queens Coffee Bar, building about change in our communities and the end to the consistent violence that encompassed our streets was discussed. During our first encounter he had hi...

Dear Dearest, My man is hard working and loves his kids more than anything on the planet but he is a complete narcissist and has too many children (over 6). He makes posts on social media, which includes everything but me. He will post our house, with him and his kids, our car with him and his kids, even our dinn...

But as I became the sole owner/CEO of Agape Voice Publishing LLC, I prayed for serious authors with messages that resonated in reader's spirit. I prayed that God would bring people back to words. I prayed that my true calling of writing would be answered. I had no t...

Many did not understand why I was frozen to the TV yesterday watching her move, watching her sing, watching her being saluted and taking command. I sat in my pearls in tears, watching her speak, watching her enter, watching her take over; a takeover of a spot that only a time as this could fulfill. She was golden, indigo, M...

Maybe I will be the poet for President Kamala Harris . . . I know my melanin gives me strength that no other heir of God can fair and my feminine dominance creates doors that no one saw was there. From Nubian Queen, during the rise of all civilization, to mule of the slave trade, picking cotton for this damned nation. Your...

Before God even brought us into the equation he created a firmament for us; a tangible space for us to grow, live and love. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1. The heavens are where God lives, the earth is where we reside. And God separated spaces, not being discriminatory or as a punishment but as something fresh...

All I could do is think about my son as we marched the streets of Charlotte on this rainy second day of 2021. I know that sounds selfish but those were my thoughts as we made our way down 3rd Street to the BLM Uptown. We chanted, “Enough is Enough” with the young people. I could not imagine a worst fate than the one&n...

The p...

The most beautiful bride is a unique bride; one that is confident in the skin they are in. There should be no shame about a curvy waist. Beauty is only exemplified by every different size. On your wedding day you should never attempt to conform to the traditional standard in size or look for that matter. You should act...

Someone told me I wasn't a “bad bitch“ today. They said it to make me feel like I don’t measure up to beautiful women. They said it to call me out on my looks. At first my stupid insecurity set in, like that 17 year old girl that I once was. I thought of Leah in the Bible, coined for her looks and not for her contributions&...
