Refresh.

I like to inhale and exhale a lot on Sunday.

Seriously. Everything isn’t always peachy. And shXt gets overwhelming often.

More so than not because I ACTUALLY do care about life, soul, vibrations and a mass of other things.

I am often left empty. It isn’t time to completely be self-ish yet.

I save that for WEDNESDAYs 😂 Wednesdays for HER!

Keep calm! INHALE AND EXHALE today. The wave is almost coming....

✌🏽🌻🤗

Realized I was Black

At a young age being in public with my mother and brother let me know I was different from them.

Strangers called my Mother a nigger lover every memory I have while living in Oklahoma 1988-1992.

Early/Mid 1990’s ,I realized I was black when I walked into the Mormon church with my grandmother and it felt like the whole congregation was staring.

And they were. I remember looking up at my grandmother and asking why everyone was staring.

She told me it was because I was beautiful.

But I knew it was because I was black. The whole church seemed confused on my presence & just as confused looking at my grandmother escorting me in by hand.

Later, I asked my grandmother how come I am not white. She told me I was white. I replied “only on my palms and on the bottom of my feet.”

Whats even more fucked up is I have to celebrate my blackness to erase the bullshit that is instilled from society!

To pass judgement is to ask for the experience!

Throw down and you wouldn’t even know there isn’t any meat! I am NOT vegetarian. However, I have limited my meat intake to 2-3 times a week and I will only eat chicken and seafood.

One of my favorite moments in time. This was my 8th or 9th birthday sleepover with friends. I am the one with my mouth opened as wide as it could go in laughter. There was a smile on every face in the room. I remember how Happy and loved I felt. My step-father always stood not too far away and gazed over the joy. He was always present for me and celebrated me - just the existence of me. Not what I did but who I was/am. This picture brings back some good memories of kicking in Essex,Maryland with my homegirls. The white girl in the middle , that is Jacie, one of the coolest white girls I ever met! She always treated me normal & not like a science project!

Pride exist because of the“relations” in the world. Compassion exist because of Love.

Even if I tried

I define you as I define me.

An unspoken love without true obstacles or disadvantages.

You and I. The we, we could not manage.

Who am I?

Sister to the night & right now...

Allow me to be the blues in ya left thigh trying to be the funk in your right

Is that alright?

Love Jones kinda high.

My artistry for you hype. I might not be

Who it is that you pegged me to be.

Laying myself bear here for your eyes to see

Busta rhymes to speak to you fluently.

Simple location

Khal-lid smooth frequency

I just - I just

Doing what I gotta do,Brandy

Is it me? Shaggy stamina on the counter

It wasn’t me.

I loved you through Jodeci and to me forever your lady and it was a sick dream.

I mean slick team, Jay - B.

6th time is the census . Oprah and Gale did this.

Unspoken forgiveness for this lame shit - Oprah living a lie with Stedman.

Man..

But even if I tried I probably lied because If I was to define you I would define me.

Unfocused, scorned and broken flowing down the stream.

But who am I?

Sister to the night..

I am the jazz of My left thigh and acoustic in my right.

And I found that , that is alright.

Black Women. Black Excellence.

It saddens me to watch our black women laugh and belittle other black women for what they do not have or what they had to do to get what they have.

Not everyone will take the advice, not everyone will see a better option. But the goal isn’t to CHANGE everybody at once...

POWERFUL, INTELLIGENT, DRIVEN AND AMBITIOUS black women I challenge you to:

•Not laugh/judge the mother with more than one baby on the bus stop and offer her a ride. Maybe you’ll drop a jewel or receive one

•Not judge the little girls cursing, being disrespectful to THEMSELVES and others. Pull her little young ass to the side - “ I may not be your momma, but I am old enough to be & when I heard/saw you I didn’t hear/see the BLACK EXCELLENCE you can be.

These are just examples!

I am so tired of seeing my generation of black women being so shady to other black women.

I literally am sick and tired.

My point is if you are NOT holding out your hand, offering guidance or making a positive impact - KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED.
