Hey, Sweet Potatoes! I am still here. I can't believe that the last time I put up a blog post was on March 23rd, exactly one month ago. I don't remember a time I was gone for this long.

You guys, I finally saw Black Panther! I know, I know. I think I was the last living person on earth to see Black Panther for the first time this weekend.

So I am sorry that I have not been able to serenade you with my stories, but I promise I am still working in the background. You won't believe me if I tell you the crazy beautiful thing that has been happening to me, so I'll just shut my mouth and keep it to myself for now. Next Read More
