• New Look

    How do you like the new layout? Do you notice the changes or does it look to similar to the last layout for you? Do you even care? it’s okay if you don’t because I suspect you’re here for content versus aesthetics. It’s crisper, and it’s cleaner, and I am really happy with the new…

  • I’ve Become Skeptical In My Old Age

    It’s not that I don’t think that I will find good people to have in my life, it’s not that I don’t believe that I am worthy of love and devotion, honesty and all the wonderful things that come with being in relationships. I believe I deserve every good thing the world has to offer,…

  • The Digital Age Is A Double-Edged Sword

    A few months ago I threw kind of a fit when people started standing up for me on social media. I realized then as I do now, that it was because I didn’t want to cause a stir. I didn’t want people standing up for me because I couldn’t handle the drama of what comes…

  • KrisyaOhana

    When I was in fifth grade, I had a librarian who refused to put any of my words on the “word wall.” The word wall was made up of words, that we as students used to describe the books we had to read in order to put a word up on the wall. I never…

  • Okay, So You Wrote A Book…Now What?

    In the self-publishing world, there is a belief that you don’t really start making money until your fifth book. I learned that last night from who else but my friend and mentor Latasha Jimerson from Buddy Teacher. I didn’t think about writing five books, I am only starting to think about my second book now…

  • If God Can Clean House, So Can I

    Several years ago I stood up at a meeting and talked about how my friends had become my family and how even though I was trying to stay sober, they were still in my life. It took me ten additional years to realize why that wasn’t a possibility, not because I love them any less,…

  • What Can You Teach Me?

    For as long as I can remember I have really wanted to travel and learn from other cultures. Unfortunately, the ability to travel hasn’t made itself present in my life as often as I would have liked. However, that being said, I have learned that I can learn a lot about things that interest, inspire,…

  • Dear Khronos

    I am tired. Yesterday Michelle Guido said she is here to empower women. Not “here on Twitter” but specifically “I am here to empower women.” It got me questioning what the fuck I am doing here. On Sunday night I was watching Madam Secretary, and I started thinking about all of the Soldiers out there…

  • I Need The Work

    It’s hard for people to understand just how much work I put into this blog. I am working almost ten to twelve hours a day curating and creating content and most of that content is provided to you all for free. LT says that I need to monetize the website, but the thing is that…

  • Accountability

    So I fucked up recently, and I called someone a slur – not a racial slur, but a slur none the less. I admitted to it on Twitter, but it got me to thinking about the privilege that I have that others do not. I realized as I was watching Madam Secretary, that there are…

  • Revels…and Kitties

    I know that I should be preparing for a big launch party for my book, but with COVID cases rising in the USA, I am choosing to not bother with a launch party until my book is actually published, and I might even put it off a little more. I’m not so big on being…

  • Religion Is The Weapon of Colonizers

    For centuries religion has been used as a weapon against marginalized cultures to convince them to give up their freedom. It’s something that I am only beginning to understand myself. Having been sexually abused by a Priest myself, I know what it feels like to be genuinely afraid of God. Largely because I was convinced…
