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…

Personal Musing:There’s a kind of silence that feels sacred…and then there’s the silence that feels like abandonment. I used to cherish my quiet mornings. The stillness before the world woke up felt like prayer. But lately, silence has felt different. It’s been showing up in places where there used to…
Ever thought about what genre your life would be if it had a soundtrack? Honestly, I think it changes depending on where we are in life…what we’re going through, how we’re moving through it, and how all of it makes us feel. Sometimes life sounds like a trap beat with…
