Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
You guys!!! I've got a feel-good story for you. So, you know how I was having a hard time writing for a few months? And then I put up that post about having writer's block? Well, guess who came through for me? My very own Sweet Potato, Manny! I was there jejely minding my business when she sent me an email saying she bought me a journal that she hopes will help with my writer's block. I gave her my address and few days later, the best book ever appeared in my mailbox. It's a journal Read More
