Just Your Average Black Woman Going Through Life
Getting older brings on a different attitude because you become more secure with who you are and the respect you require. I watched the video of singer/actress Kelly Rowland, getting into a minor verbal spat with security at the Cannes Film Festival. Recently, Kelly also made the news for walking out on hosting for…
For those of you who are basketball fans, you may have heard the New York Knicks have made it to the semifinals of the eastern conference. In this city, we have gone so long with a Knicks team that have fallen short of this victory. Now with this step, it just shows how determination…
Imagine working at a job where people get along and care about each other. They celebrate major life-changing events for the people or on the other end the sad moments. If you find that within 1 year, there are about 5 people where money is collected of any amount you can afford to give,…
Yesterday, May 7th was Teacher’s Appreciation Day. As an Occupational Therapist working with children on the Autism Spectrum, I work alongside teachers every day. Teachers are underpaid and overworked. Some of the teachers I work with must be parents to the students as well because there are some kids who require care with the…

It is still Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month. This is a month I acknowledge because I work with this population of children daily. One of the things that affect many of these children and adults is sensory processing issues. Our senses are touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight/seeing. Technically, there are three more senses being proprioception,…
There were many sad events in entertainment that happened this past week. We lost DJ Mister Cee, here in NYC. Atlanta lost a legendary producer with Rico Wade. And America lost someone we can’t confirm or deny committed a crime in the 90’s with the death of OJ Simpson. Life has so many unexpected…
There were many memoirs recently released by some famous people we know. There’s Whoopi Goldberg, RuPaul, Leslie Jones, and Billy Dee Williams among others. I enjoy reading Autobiographies and Memoirs to get to know the person better. There have been some books written by people who have now passed away such as the great…
