Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
I refuse to believe that BlogHer16 is over already. I have been looking forward to BlogHer16 since BlogHer15. I was 6 months pregnant while at BlogHer15, and the conference was not even over before I decided that I will be back for BlogHer16 AND Igwe and my then-unborn child must come, too! Now BlogHer16 has come and gone, and yes, both Igwe and the now-born (nine months old) child (Ada Verastic) were there. There were so many gracious sponsors at BlogHer16, but there are three in Read More
As I type this post right now, we are still in Los Angeles for the BlogHer16 conference, and this is the first time since we got here (on Thursday, August 4th) that I'm touching my computer. Between Southwest Airlines losing my luggage and me working here at the conference, I have been mega busy. Also, the three-hour time difference between L.A. and Baltimore is really messing with me. Anyway, as you know, I became a parent in October last year, and looking back now, I can count at least 12 Read More
Yesssss!!! It's time for the BlogHer Conference, and I am pumped! This year is my third consecutive time attending the BlogHer conference, so it goes without saying that I love this conference. It has been worth it every single time, and I expect this year to be the same. I have come a long way since I first attended the conference. The first time I attended the conference, I did not know anyone. It felt like I was dizzy and playing pin the tail on the donkey ... on a frog. Frogs don't have Read More
Welcome to August. Considering how late I was to post Journal #18 for June 2016, this time, I'm determined to not make the same mistake. It's only August 2nd and I'm on it already - as it should be. July was HOT! And I mean it literally. There were so many over hundred degrees days, and we live on the top floor, so while the roof of our building is far from the sun, we are still the closest ones to the sun, compared to our neighbors below. If you know a little about me, then you know that I Read More
Considering that today is July 28th, am I allowed to say welcome to July? This journal is supposed to be about how my June went, but because it's the end of July, I have forgotten everything that happened in June. I didn't really do anything special, and I don't even remember how my social calendar went. It's the craziest thing. Apart from the heat trying to melt me, I don't seem to remember what else happened. Perhaps, the heat melted all my memories away. I'm already getting ready to Read More
