I missed you guys(as I always do) and I hope that y'all have been doing so so well😘 In this week's spoken word diary entry we will be talking about silence and how both it and sacrifice go hand in hand. We will also be reflecting on what social justice means to us and what it means when it comes to movement work and creating spaces where we as people of color can form our own table, instead of fighting tirelessly for a seat at a table that doesn't welcome us with open arms. The hea...

I hope all of you are doing so well and are having the best summers ever🤎 In this diary entry, I talk about perfectionism, don't we just love it? eye roll, lol.

When it comes to perfectionism, it's truly a joke, we are not meant to be perfect and we are perfectly imperfect in fact. if we were all perfect, where would the room for growth be...

In today's diary entry I wanted to reflect on today, June 24th, a day that will go down in history. Today, the case Roe v. Wade was overturned and to say that this overturn has rocked the nation would be an understatement. In this entry, I wanted to do due diligence to women and children, especially children and I wanted to reflect on how this changes everything. How it now contributes further to our toxic legal system...
