Finally! The Video Of My Listen To Your Mother Reading

Listen To Your Mother Baltimore - Verastic

I've been looking forward to sharing the video of my Listen To Your Mother performance. It was in April of this year that I got the honor of reading about my mommy. The videos were supposed to be released last week, but due to all the violence (Alton Sterling, Philandro Cantille. and the cops in Dallas), they decided to hold off on releasing them. My piece was a humor piece about my mommy, called My Mommy Said. I was so happy that the audience found the humor in my piece; they laughed in all Read More

So I Attended The Season 3 Premiere Of Power

Season 3 Premiere of Power on Starz - Verastic

When Xfinity invited me to attend the Season 3 premiere of Power, I looked at the date and time and instantly decided that I was not going. Why? It was slated for July 12th and I knew that Igwe would still be in Nigeria, and the time was in the evening AND the event was in Washington D.C. See, I have a thing with Washington D.C. where I'd just rather not go there because it's too much for me. Too many traffic lights; too narrow streets; too few parking spots. And to make it worse, the event was Read More

Dayquil Was Right … Moms Can’t Take A Sick Day

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Sweet Potatoes, let me start by apologizing for barely blogging last week. It's been hectic on my end. Igwe is currently out of the country, and the day he left was the day my body decided that it felt like having a cold. Like I mentioned in my last post, I was down with a cold. This isn't the first time Igwe has traveled and left me behind. Three years ago, he went to Nigeria twice, each time for exactly three months. It was hard, but I survived. This time, Read More

Ada Verastic Still Won’t Sleep In Her Bed. Technically.

My little human just turned 8 months old a week ago; hard to believe that 8 months have passed already. Although I don't remember where, I've probably mentioned this somewhere already that before we had Ada Verastic, we bought her a nice crib. It was not the most expensive, but it cost about $400. It took us about six hours, I think, to set it up. I had no idea that cribs came with so many parts, and as much as I don't like it, America is determined to turn me into a DIYer. Anyway, when we Read More

I No Longer Wash My Panties In The Morning

It is amazing how much changes with time. One of my favorite things on this blog is reading old blog posts and measuring just how much I have changed, if any. Take for example, this panties issue. It does not seem like it, but it has been four years since I wrote about how I HAD TO wash my panties in the morning. Morning = whenever I take a shower, even if it's at night. As I explained in my post four years ago, I attended boarding school for one semester in St. Louis College, Jos (hello SL Read More
