"She got book intelligence, street common sense and ain't down for the bullshit. She can switch her mode from corporate to ghetto, either way she gon' represent. She's that 'keep it real' type- speaks her mind on what she does and who she don't like. She's very opinionated- you can take it how you want, either you love it or you hate it." -Musiq Soulchild Want to know more? Log on to LiLiSheree.com

Be. Come.

The beautiful and simultaneously frustrating thing about being human is that we are multi-layered beings. There is a body that coincides with a mind that collaborates with a soul that is inspired by spirit(s). And at the same token, it is extremely hard learning how to regulate and use all of them as apart of a magical system to re-program yourself for greatness. Some people are born with an…

'Cowboy Carter': A Master Class of American Music (Part One)

I tried my best to stay awake til midnight but I knew that was a battle I would not win. Maybe thirteen minutes past, I woke up to hit ‘download’ and subtly re-situated myself in my sleeping position. Per usual, all of my social media apps were in shambles and I tried my damndest to not read anyone else’s takes before listening and digesting the music for myself. Unfortunately, I woke up an hour…

Love in Mint Condition

Recently a friend asked me what I’d been listening to that was considered new and I told her not much. Me and music only really go together in the car to and from work or while running errands. I might watch a live show here and there on YouTube or catch a snippet of music on my socials, but rarely do I seek out new music. We both found that to be very odd since I have been quite a music…

I'm Just A Bitch Whose Intentions Are Good

There are a lot of things I can handle being said about me. Being called a bitch used to not be one of them but I’m coming to terms with it. But call me ugly and it’s on site. Also, ya mama! A lot of people take issue with assertive women. It doesn’t matter the gender, race or sexual orientation- a woman who is sure of who she is, even if she is unaware of her power, is a threat to humanity. I…

Caste Away

Yesterday I turned in my work laptop and took myself to the movies shortly after. It was the final day on my short-lived job, working at a call center for life and travel accident insurance claims. I knew I never wanted to work at a call center again but after losing a job I thought I’d keep for another couple years, I jumped at the first job that bit off my resume. It was a pass through…

Stranger Things Than The Upside Down: Social Media

Imagine a world where social media takes precedence over real life. A world where offenses are prevalent on Beyonce’s internet and tone is left out and highly misinterpreted. A world where ill-feelings occur over memes, shared videos and quotes. A world where assumptions are king. If you watch Stranger Things, then you are familiar with the “upside down” the 4 boys from an imaginary town in…

It Makes Me Feel Like Real Love Is Possible

Recently, I was introduced to the distinction between choices and decisions. When faced with a choices there are options, whether two or several, to chose from. After experiencing a choice you are then faced with a decision to make and stand on, regarding whether or not the choice serves your highest good or gives pleasure, so forth and so on. There are a lot of folks trained, conditioned and…

Jesus, Be a Plan B

Social media is a wild place. It is a multi-faceted multiverse of knowledge on things you absolutely need to know, and mainly, shit you don’t. During today’s thumb exercises on Twitter, I came across a shared video of a pregnant mother provoking her child to fight her. I could not see the full video because YouTube took it down. However, there was no need for more context on top of what was…
