Just Your Average Black Woman Going Through Life
Last year, I wrote a post titled, Pinky Blues to speak on the importance of educating oneself on breast cancer. I also stated that Black women are more likely to die from Breast Cancer than any other racial/ethnic group here in the U.S. In March, I posted about Endometriosis Awareness Month, I spoke of…
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…
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…

TGIF (Thank God/Goodness It’s Friday) everyone. I can’t believe it’s the last Friday of April already. The month flew by so fast. But, on this day, I sit back and reflect on the month I labeled as “new beginnings” with Challenge #14. My energy was focused on my personal passions. Each day we go…
I’m sure many of you have seen Beyonce’s video of her hair routine, proving she has healthy hair once and for all. I don’t know when her hair became a topic of conversation in the public, but I enjoyed her commentary in the video. This video of hers led me to think about my…
Today is April 22nd, and today we celebrate Earth Day. It’s a day to bring awareness to supporting our planet by keeping it clean and free of toxins and other material that damages its core. I live in NYC. If you have ever been here, you may know that the streets can be dirty…
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,…
