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.

We have all seen the video surfacing of the Domestic Violence situation between Diddy and Cassie. The video itself was horrible to watch, but unfortunately, it’s far more common than many think. In October, I wrote an article ‘When A House is not a Home,’ to bring awareness during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic…

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…
When I think of home, I think of a place where there is more funding to low income communities. Where we see more people live to become productive in society. I recently watched Brittney Griner’s interview with Robin Roberts. She tells her story of being in a Russian prison. She spent 10 months in…
Today is the first Friday of the month of May. Hopefully the April showers are over, and the May flowers will bloom. With this said, there are so many showers that may have happened in your life, but when was the last time you smelled the flowers in your life? When is the last…
