Let’s just go ahead and say it: The political climate right now?Outrageous. Stressful. Unpredictable. A lot. Rights are being debated like they’re optional.Policies are shifting like someone’s changing outfits.And entire communities are out here just trying to exist without being targeted. So naturally, people are asking: “How do I even begin to be revolutionary in …

Let’s be honest: trying to keep up with politics right now can feel like emotional CrossFit. Every headline is urgent, every social media thread is a debate stage, and somewhere between breakfast and lunch you’ve read three things that make you want to scream into a pillow. Most of us want to stay informed. We …

There is one thing that continues to genuinely confuse, frustrate, and low-key break my heart: how much time we, as women, can spend critiquing each other… when we could be hyping each other up instead.

I don't want to give this ignorant individual more time, energy, and attention than he obviously wants, but I would be remiss if I didn't use my platform and voice to speak out about the offensive, racist and dangerous rhetoric that this person has been spewing. This JW Lucas who I have just now heard …
Here we are, at that time of the year when we have to start having the dialogue about why it's important that we all get out and take advantage of the right which many of our ancestors fought and died for... The Right to Vote. Of course I'm not suggesting that you go out and vote …
Who would have thought this is the kind of 2020 we would be experiencing? Most of us were so ready to be done with 2019 that we had no idea what we were in for. I suppose we should've been careful with what we wished for! The Universe definitely gave no signs to point to …
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about my personal experience and journey growing up as a young Black Girl, and maturing and evolving into a “seasoned” Black Woman.
