Remembering Agent Provocateurs

I was intrigued by the word “provacateause” after reading a critic’s review of the 2017 documentary called “Bloodlight and Bami” about the legendary artist, Grace Jones. The word rolled off my tongue with both a “sweetness” and “sting” to the point where I started a blog entry without knowing what I would ultimately write about.Continue reading “Remembering Agent Provocateurs”

Perhaps the World Ends Here

The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live. The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, and it will go on. We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their kneesContinue reading “Perhaps the World Ends Here”

Nobody’s Business

Every human relationship has bumps and challenges along the way no matter how in sync people may be. From the outside, people can make assumptions or judgements based upon their own observations, experiences, or even based upon what you may choose to share. No one really knows what makes a relationship “click” especially a romanticContinue reading “Nobody’s Business”

NARC vs Empathic Awakening

Something has been said in America! During the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of America’s dirty little secrets have been “unveiled” for the world to see.

Unapologetically Black

In this section of my blog, I generally post entries encouraging authenticity and unapologetic self love. It is not easy being unique or different for anyone especially young girls. As a child, I was the weird, nerdy black girl with “good hair” as my southern family liked to reference. WTF if good hair? This statementContinue reading “Unapologetically Black”

Earthquake Awakening

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake ripped through my home state in the US in August 2020. It was the strongest earthquake in more than a century with the last event happening in 1916. My neighbors responded with calls, tweets and posts to our community board while the local media reported the story. So, what did IContinue reading “Earthquake Awakening”

My First Memory (of Librarians)

This is my first memory: A big room with heavy wooden tables that sat on a creaky wood floor A line of green shades—bankers’ lights—down the center Heavy oak chairs that were too low or maybe I was simply too short For me to sit in and read So my first book was always bigContinue reading “My First Memory (of Librarians)”

Cancel What? Cancel Who?

I recently had a discussion with a few tribe members about my decision to end a past toxic relationship. My tribe thought that perhaps me and this person could reconcile or reengage forging a future healthy bond. My reasons for ending the relationship are so extensive I could write a dissertation and still not provideContinue reading “Cancel What? Cancel Who?”
