  • Canadian Women in Cannibus

    I have this vision of the Black women in the cotton fields, working their fingers to the bone while their White captors sit on the porch watching them while they drink sweet tea. I keep hearing them say, “one day our daughters will sit on the porch while the white woman goes to work.” For…

  • At A Certain Point, You Have To Take Control

    A few days ago I had a conversation over the phone with my Psychiatrist. He didn’t sound overly pleased that I had written a book, and was disappointed in the fact that I stay up late at night until around three working. When I expressed to him that I make this time matter by working…

  • Laying of Hands

    CONTENT WARNING: This post contains conversations about scarification, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and violence against children. Please proceed with caution. I don’t talk about physical abuse as often as I talk about sexual abuse. I will never forget when my mom’s boyfriend slapped me over five dollars I had lost. He left a hand print…

  • Is My Content Less Valuable Because It’s Free?

    I’ve been trying to study up on what I should be offering in return for trying to convince y’all to buy memberships. I’ve been doing some research and the one thing that keeps repeating itself is that if your content is free it’s not as valued by the customer as it might be if they…

  • 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…
