By now you’re probably well aware of the stupid ass idiotic comments by rapper, Slim Thug. But if you’ve been off of twitter for a while, ignoring the internet, or just don’t know (or care) who Slim Thug is, he recently chimed in on the media’s question of the year, “Why are so many black [...]

These past few weeks have been quite interesting & dramatic. In a short span of time one student at my school passed away due to a heart condition, another confirmed he had a baby and hadn’t told his mother yet, and my son’s teacher told me she wanted to send home extra packets because their “kindergarten [...]
Growing up, I pictured what my life would be like when I got older: I’d be married, well traveled, degreed, and have a banging career, a sexy husband, and two adorable kids. Basically, I’d be the 21st century Clare Huxtable. I carried these dreams in my head throughout my childhood, into high school, [...]
I was listening to NPR yesterday, as I do everyday on my drive home, and I heard The Kitchen Sisters new series, “The Hidden World of Girls.” This particular episode dealt with the drastic steps some women and girls in Jamaica have taken to live up to an ideal standard of beauty. In order [...]
This has been a trying week. Fresh off my wonderful dance with Beloved last weekend, I picked myself up, and jumped back into my weekly routine. Getting ready for work, dropping the kid at preschool, going to work (begrudgingly). Luckily we had a pupil-free day on Monday & I only had to half-way pay [...] Dear Munchkin, I can’t believe it, you’re FOUR!! My little baby—excuse me—little MAN celebrated another year of life today, and I’m in awe of how fast the years sprint by. It seems like yesterday I welcomed you into this world, all yellow and juicy, amazed that something so perfect could come of such an imperfect situation.

A myriad of questions ran through my mind as I drove him to school. Would he like it? Would he have any potty accidents? Would he get along with the other kids? Would [...] (my son, the ham) My son, in all his three-year-old glory, loves to be around other kids. He loves running, jumping, kicking balls–the usual–and gets so giddy when he sees other little people around. Although, he used to be THAT kid (borderline playground terror), he’s turned out to be quite a nice little boy. But [...] These past few days I’ve had the opportunity to circulate amongst some of the most powerful female bloggers in the nation. It has been a truly eye-opening experience for many reasons. Most of which have to do with my growth as a writer/blogger, and how I can become more focused and improve upon what I’m [...] After a busy, busy weekend of hitting up Sea World & the circus, the munchkin and I are hitting the road again. A few weeks ago I mentioned taking a road trip, and it’s finally here! Today, the munchkin, my mama, my little bro, and I are driving up the California Coast. I’ve planned a [...]  |
