Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
This is the first post in the new series I introduced a while back. It's called The Manny Posts. So if you're reading this post and wondering what I'm going on about, here's a short summary: I wrote a post about having writer's block, and my Sweet Potato, Manny bought me a journal with 300 writing prompts. I have decided to share my thoughts in the journal on here with you. These posts will be called The Manny Posts, and you can read the original post here. The journal has 300 writing 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.

Considering that today is July 28th, am I allowed to say welcome to July?

Welcome to May. April 2016, too, is now a thing of the past. How did your April go? I’m thinking that I did not do much in April, but we’ll know for sure by the end of this post. So let’s get to it: Listen To Your Mother: In the month of April, I attended my last rehearsal for this show, and in the week of the event, I was quite emotional. Then I went for the event, and honestly, I am still high from it. Standing there, telling my story and having people laugh and cheer and clap. Wow. Read More
