Replacing “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to tell me?” has been a game changer for me.
The former creates a hamster wheel, where you’ll replay the story over and over again. Victimized. Stuck.
The latter holds space for a resolution to appear.
As we get older, our circle of friends gets smaller for one reason or another.
I think it’s important to realize you can miss something, but not want it back.

“Peace, peace. Thank you, Debra, thank you, BET. Thank you Nate Parker, Harry (Belafonte), and Debbie Allen for participating in that. Before we get into it, I just wanna say…you know, I brought my parents out tonight. I just wanna thank them for being here, for teaching me to focus on comprehension over career. That uh, they make sure I learn what the schools were afraid to teach us. And also to thank my amazing wife for changing my life.
Now, this award…this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country, the activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. Alright?
It’s kind of basic mathematics. The more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize. Now this is also in particular for the black women, in particular, who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you.
Now, what we have been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow managed to deescalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what’s gonna happen is we are gonna have equal rights and justice in our own country, or we will restructure their function and ours.
Now…I got more, y’all. Yesterday would’ve been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday. So I don’t want to hear anymore about how ‘far we’ve come’ when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12 year old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich.
Tell Rekia Boyd how much better it is to live in 2012 than it is to live in 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Dorian Hunt.
Now the thing is though, all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t gonna stop this, alright? Now dedicating our lives to getting money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body, when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies. And now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies?
There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven’t done, there’s no tax they haven’t levied against us and we’ve paid all of them. But freedom is somehow conditional here. “You’re free,” they keep telling us. “But see, she would’ve been alive if she hadn’t acted so…free.“
Now, freedom is always coming in the hereafter. You know what though, the hereafter is a hustle. We want it now. And let’s get it straight, a little sidenote:
The freedom of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That’s not our job. Alright? Stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interests in equal rights for black people, do not make suggestions for those that do. Sit down.
We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo. And we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment, like oil, black gold. Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them. Gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.
The thing is though, just because we’re magic doesn’t meant we’re not real. Thank you.”

Friendship
I have some great friends, most of which are back in my hometown. I made it a point to make some new friends out here and it's been hit or miss. It's difficult to have male friends out here because they only want to hook up when it comes opposite sex relationships. The girls either are competing with you or are catty as all hell. Don't know what to make of it smh. I am grateful for the close connections I've made through work in #philly and will continue to cherish my peeps back home. Real friendship takes time to build...
New Gig
Living in a new city for over a year now and still loving it. Just ended a job I was miserable at yesterday and it feels good. Made a pact that I would end any situation that was negative and didn't uplift me. Now I'm on to better things....

Spring Equinox: A NEW Realm Where You Can Thrive
Happy First day of Spring family!
THE NARRATIVE OF STRUGGLE IS OVER. Your breakthrough is HERE. We’ve been praying, longing, yearning and crying out for a change. All of us. In our own ways. Ready for a new normal. Ready to see differently, experience differently, receive differently, love differently and be loved differently.
On this first day of spring, we are being offered a delicious facilitation into an entirely new realm. The doors are opened. But guess what — YOU have to walk through the door. You have to choose to make that step forward. Life, the Universe, God, Source Energy is ready to take you EXACTLY where you want to be and the defining factor of where you can head lies in you. That is so empowering because the power lies in YOU and you have entire access to that power.
Put your fears to rest.
Put your doubts to rest.
Yes you DO deserve love. Yes you DO deserve a new life. Yes you DO deserve to do what you love. Yes you DO deserve to make money off that thing that comes to you so easily. That’s the point!! Success does not mean struggle. Love does not mean struggle. Life does not mean struggle!
It’s time to give up the fight because fighting isn’t required any longer. Let God handle it. Time to restore your soul. You are not invisible. You are not your feelings of inadequacy. DON’T HIDE! It’s time that you to embrace your amazingness. Flowers bloom within before experienced in the world. Just because you can’t see results, doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. There is a PURPOSE for your life. YOU are necessary. A new story is emerging for you. A narrative that empowers, honors and pours into you like never before.
Today’s #Affirmation: I walk in my purpose with passion, ease and confidence. I am supposed to be here, thrive here, love here and enjoy here. I deserve the life I love. Everything is happening for my greatest good.
Let’s start this second quarter of 2016 ENCOURAGED and MOTIVATED, tag 3 people in this post!

So my plan has always just been to do what I love for as long as I can. I think that’s all we ever do, you know?

Dang, I had this with my first boo...used to grease my scalp too😊
I bet you didn’t know that during the Holocaust, Haiti issued out passports (sold them) to Jewish families so that they could leave Germany? As much as I love posting about the beauty of Haiti, my second favorite thing to do is read about our History and how instrumental we were in helping so many people and different countries. The sad thing is most people don’t know about it so we don’t talk about it and I don’t think I’ve ever seen most of the information in history books.

I’m in a space on my path where I’m solely interested in surrounding myself with people who want to journey with me. I don’t need to chase anyone. I have nothing to prove and no need to posture myself as good enough because I AM good enough. I find partnership in any form simply fascinating and quite delicious. Choosing someone while you actively choose yourself is hypnotic. Let’s show up for one another because we personally want to be here. Time is so precious and luke warm commitment on any level is boring. I like my experiences rich, intentional and pure fun. When you start actively curating your life, you begin getting particular about the ingredients you add in. Be picky. Be intentional. Don’t shy away from selecting and receiving what you want.

Do you want to journey with me?
