You Don’t Need To Live Up To Anyone’s Standards…Live Up To Yours
When you start feeling good, everything about you changes. I want to talk about changes, and how important it is to accept that while everyone may not understand the change you are going through, it’s important to remember that they don’t have to. I had a conversation with someone today who is in recovery (not…

Triggers…Triggers…Triggers…
I’ve been doing interviews like crazy this week, about the podcast, and the website. About gender based violence, about my experience, and about the things that I have been through.

Why You Should Consider #Marijuana As A #MentalHealth Aid (Content Warning 18 and Over Only)
There’s been a lot of conversation about marijuana as an aid for things like chronic pain and epilepsy, but very few studies on what it does for those who are experiencing mental health issues.

Will My Daughters Face This Same Fight In Thirty-Seven Years From Now?
Is this how it’s going to be now? Are we stuck with this reality forever? Constantly and consistently fighting for the same rights and freedoms of our richer, whiter counterparts? Is this who we are now? When I think back to the most ancient of societies, I am reminded that each of them had a…

I hope this day goes down in the books of history forever. I hope every single person on earth, remembers today as the day that the world learned the unfortunate death of a Black woman, at the hands of cops who had no idea what they were doing, didn’t matter. That’s what the Justice department…
