Taylor Townsend! It’s a name I honestly had never heard of until I caught footage of her at the US Open. She had just won a match and, despite her opponent Jelena Ostapenko’s disrespectful words, she responded with nothing but grace. Ostapenko, clearly a sore loser, chose insults over sportsmanship…throwing…
I don’t usually write about celebrities and their relationships. You won’t often catch me gushing over “#CoupleGoals” or diving into Hollywood romances. But every now and then, a couple catches my eye in such a unique way that I can’t help but reflect on it. For me, that’s been Teyana…
Some friendships are seasonal, and there’s nothing we can do to change that. In fact, why would we want to? If God allows a friendship to shift, fade, or end, that’s not by accident. It’s divine redirection. The truth is, we often step into friendships with the belief that they’re…
Perimenopause is an intruding heffah! Just when I thought life was starting to smooth out, here comes Peri stomping up in my space, kicking down the door like an uninvited guest, and causing all kinds of chaos with my emotions. Anxiety? Check. Lack of sleep? Double check. Mood swings? Chile……
There comes a point where the mirror stops lying. Not because it ever really told the truth, but because you stop dodging it. You see yourself, unfiltered, raw. You see the excuses you’ve dressed up as “valid reasons.” You see the “I’ll start tomorrow” promises that have stretched into months,…

Let me tell you what we’re not gonna do this season:Lose sleep because somebody didn’t follow us back on Instagram or tag us in a post on Facebook! I had to check MYSELF not too long ago because here’s the truth:I used to wonder what it meant when someone I…
Can we stop thinking things are “too good to be true”? Seriously. Can we stop side-eyeing our joy and second-guessing the very things we prayed for? We deserve good things. We deserve peace. We deserve ease.We deserve to feel loved, seen, and cared for without suspicion or shame.We deserve to…
The legacy of Malcolm-Jamal Warner has impacted me in ways I didn’t see coming. I’ve been sitting with this…reflecting not just on his roles or the art he’s shared with the world, but the deeper truth behind how people speak of him. His friends. His family. His colleagues. They speak…
We never met them. We didn’t grow up in the same neighborhood. We didn’t sit at their kitchen tables or get phone calls from them on hard days. And still… when they pass, it hits like a wave. Unexpected, deep, sometimes even confusing. Grieving a celebrity often gets brushed off…
