Avoiding Dating 101

Jul 25, 2020

The very thought of mustering up energy to pretend to be interested in learning about somebody, engaging in small talk, and finding time to actually communicate is jusssssst….

Alter Ego

Jun 11, 2020

Most Black people know the codeswitch is real. However, given historical, recent and continued events, my code switch is malfunctioning. Because I am often in white spaces, I am subjected to engaging in small talk and light banter not only in person but via email. But in this day and age, it’s as if Sweet Brown’s voice is constantly playing in my ear “Ain’t nobody got time for that.”

Heavay Heavaaaaaaay (in my best Effie White voice)

May 3, 2020

Let’s talk about weight. So, I am a solid size 16 on most days. I have vacillated between a size 14-18 since I was in the 8th grade. Needless to say, I’m a big girl – thick girl –plus size - full figured – queen sized - thickums. Since I was almost 10 pounds when I was born, let’s just say I have a lot of experience in this area. Basically, I ain’t new to this, I’m true to this.

Don't Believe the Hype!

Apr 12, 2020

It’s interesting to me the narratives that are created about Black women. We’re too loud. We have bad attitudes. We’re catty. We’re gold diggers, hood rats, and the list goes on and on and on.
