Happy 2022
I cannot believe that I’m here. It’s 2022, and I am alive, and well, I’ve had dental surgery again (still waiting on that) and I am feeling much better than I was last week, and this whole new year is ahead of me. Bright, shiny, and filled with all kinds of beauty, love, potential, and…

To Go From Surviving To Thriving
This post is dedicated to my new friend and follower @SavvyWroteThat on Twitter. Long may you Reign. I posted this question today and my friend Savannah responded and honestly that’s what 2021 was about for me. I was surviving, and in 2022 I want to thrive. I Need to dance my loves, I need to…

Regulation of Opioids is Needed…But Do We Regulate The Doctors or the Patients?
Unless you’re practically dying, you can’t get a Tylenol 3 to save your life, literally, in BC anymore. That’s entirely because BC is going and has been going through, an opioid epidemic for the last ten to twelve years. I know this because I used to work at a church filled with people who lived…

Hopes and Dreams, Trauma and Nightmares: You Can’t Have One Without The Other(s)
Life is a series of unending tests, designed to push you into becoming the person you’re meant to become, while simultaneously challenging the ideas of who you think that person should be. – Unknown. I read that in a book somewhere, and as I watch these shows about these fabulously rich and wealthy women growing…

Ghislaine Maxwell: Five Out of Six
Seconds ago the verdict came through. I know I said I wouldn’t be writing for the rest of this year, but this one matters too much for me not to say something. I know that there are a lot of people who are celebrating today, but underneath the celebration is a sting that will never…

700 Posts And This is the Last of 2022
700 Posts, hundreds of thousands of tears, and millions of hours of wondering whether or not this is going to work, whether or not “this particular blog,” is going to be the one that I stick with, that other people resonate with and four years of internal, external, emotional, physical, and sexual trauma, and drama…

No, It’s Not Jealousy, You’re Just An Egotistical Asshole Who Wants Everyone To Think You’re Right When You’re Really, Really Wrong
I’ve been watching this show called something or other, about a bunch of women who basically make a bunch of money and then talk behind each other’s back, because it’s Christmas and I categorically refuse to watch Christmas films where everyone’s happy and fake and the happy ending is always “they lived happily ever after.”…

Merry Christmas My Loves
This is supposed to be the most beautiful day of the year, but one more time I cannot be with the people that I love, and like many of you, I am suffering the consequences of not being able to be with the people who mean the world to me. My Krisya Ohana – my…

LET THE GODDESS SESSIONS COMMENCE
Last night I had the chance to do an Instagram Live with my friend and soul sister Renita Quirls from Be Your Own Kind. One of the things that I love about hanging out with Renita is that I always leave the session feeling amazing, but I have to admit last night I was highly…

Surviving Christmas
If I had been smart I’d have done my shopping at the beginning of the year, instead of the end, but I’ve since realized that my entire focus this whole year has been Loud Mouth Brown Girl. I haven’t thought about anything other than creating content, building a portfolio, proving myself, and focusing on making…

Black People Do You Understand The POWER of Your OWN Voice?
Do You? Because I didn’t really understand how important it was for me to hear Black folk speak and connect on conversations of racism and abuse and the generational trauma that come with the above listed until I rejoined WEOC and the 1619 Book Club project the WEOC Executive team is putting on every Tuesday…

LOUD MOUTH BROWN GIRL IS OFFICIALLY A COLLECTIVE
I am not going to lie, I really didn’t think anyone would care if this site lasted another year, but a few people have proven they do, by putting their money, literally where their keyboard is and I am so appreciative that all I want to do is curl up and cry. $225.00 has been…
