What does it mean to be "Woke"? This term has seen a resurgence recently and become, in my opinion, quite trendy. What the general public now knows as "Woke", was at one time referred to as "conscious," and it's existed in the collective Black community for a very long time. It seems to be one …
Is it just me, or are you feeling like the world is going crazy right about now!? I couldn't believe it when I read that the police officer, Jeronimo Yanez who murdered Philando Castile was acquitted of all charges. Smh. What kind of society allows this to happen? Then on Sunday morning in Seattle, police officers …
I've been thinking a lot lately about the ability to attract abundance from the Universe. I truly believe that one must be careful about the energy that you put out, because if you know anything about physics, energy rebounds and it can and often does come back to you in ways that you aren't even …

Truth: The true or actual state of a matter; truth to self; authenticity. We all have our own individual, unique, personal Truths. And I believe that we are meant to realize these various "Truths" in our own way, in our own time. They can't be rushed, nor can they be dictated, formed, or shaped by …
I've been contemplating this concept of superficiality versus authenticity for some time now, because it feels like lately I've found myself in situations that highlight just how many or how few folks that I interact with, fit into one of these categories: superficial: existing or occurring at or on the surface; apparent rather than real; shallow; not …

As I sit here and write, I realize that the older I get, the more blogs I write that begin with "the older I get"! But alas, it is with getting older that I have had the opportunity to learn many life lessons which I continue to take and shape the way I not only …
The older we get, it's imperative that we keep our brains active and stimulated! Refuse to allow yourself to settle into a mental and physical rut.. Be adventurous! Try new things, be open to learning about unfamiliar concepts, explore ideas and beliefs that differ from your own. The important thing is to constantly challenge yourself, …
Throughout my transition from a young Black girl, to a Black female teenager, to a 43 year old Black Woman, I have been witness, directly and indirectly, to the challenges that being a Black female in this country inherently brings. There are currently, and have been some powerful, national images of Black women as successful, accomplished …

When I approached 40, I had mixed emotions; I believed at that point I would then be officially a "Grown Woman" and all that 40 entails... like gray hair popping up uninvited, being considered "middle age" by folks in their 20's & 30's, your body acting all funny style and feeling some kind of strange …
