Sweet November

Now that Thanksgiving is upon us I am reflecting on what I have experienced throughout this decade. As we close this year out we enter a new chapter that will be defined by the acceptances we take and the dreams that we chase.

I am going to be brief with my post. I am just touching base and connecting with those that are on my journey with me. Your outlook is EVERYTHING! The perspective you view life is how you are ultimately viewed! I was too negative in my own life. I saw the good in everyone but myself! To paraphrase the late Ana Marquez-Greene a Sandy Hook victim "I was sucking out my fun sockets" I take care of my responsibilities  yet I'm living life! I am constantly evolving and building my brand. But I had to solidify my character first otherwise life would be all a facade.

I will not give any energy to nonsense. I don't have that type of time.....I am on a mission in my pursuit of happiness. I just crave honesty. joy and accountability in every area of my life. Own your shit. Integrity matters alot. Aint nobody perfect but God but be about your business and your word your bond. No shade but nobody ain't hating on nobody they can see through for real. I state my age because with it became wisdom. I've seen alot in this years.


Ok I will chat again soon. Tyler Perry who is amazing, brilliant and blessed used to write blog posts often before he had to dedicate his life to uplifting our culture. His words inspired me. I pray mine help someone to heal. My elders lived a long time through the struggles that define my children. It takes a village. I hope my words reach and inspire you.

Family Ties

When you are an overachiever, successful and KiND you can’t let people drain and drag you down because they can’t RELATE. It will change your personality because you will be on sets and in rooms that you don’t belong in.  Don’t you think I KNOW that if I was docile, submissive, subservient and STUPID what my life would be LIKE? Who I would of become? Where I would of ended up?  Until RECENTLY I HONESTLY was SCARED to TELL my STORY. I STILL wasn’t READY. But being at Auntie S’s beautiful home last Christmas and her pleading with me to WRITE our STORY with her beautiful, clear Doe looking eyes that mirror my Grendmothers I KNEW I had too. Nana used to look at me the SAME way.  Because my Uncle Sam who has ALWAYS had my BACK throughout my entire life whether it be OVERJOYED I was SKIPPING a GRADE. Helping  me write my business PLAN, letting me drive his BRAND new CAR for my road test and being the FIRST one in my FAMILY including my parents that I told I was pregnant with DAVID. At Uncle

 As I write but more importantly LIVE I THANK y’all for letting me sit in the front of the bus and listen to music with y’all when I stilll could hear. Papa used to turn the music up real loud for me too on the way to his customers to make his deliveries.  For keeping me in Ms, Goldstein’s class knowing I may have needed a different environment. For coming to my first day of Junior High school (albeit afterschool WHO does that?) For pressing my hair SO GOOD the first day of Martin. For telling me that Brooklyn Tech was a memory (I got waitlisted and didn’t want to go to Summer School to get in because I didn’t want to go there and NANA and GRANNY knew it! ) To not beat myself up over it. (Mommy is STILL MAD in Heaven❤️) To standing outside Martin with Aunt Colette and Mommy because the girls didn’t like me but the boys did!  The most important lesson I learned was to put ME FIRST! NANA you loved us ALL independently and individually. You made sure we had toiletries, pens to do homework

 I haven’t been bothering ANYONE I stay to myself and take care of my child and my business! I saw two GORGEOUS apartments in NY that wasn’t the right fit for JJ and I. With Aunt Colette and Ms. May because no matter WHAT they have going ON they GOT me! So in ONE WEEK I have set in place the steps to for THE FIRST TIME in my LIFE do exactly WTF I WANNA do! It’s so LIBERATING!  I’m not letting NOBODY stress me OUT! Y’all can HAVE that! I’m JJ’s EVERYTHING! I’m such a GOOD MOTHER! BOTH TIMES! I ask GOD EVERY day to give me the strength to keep moving! Y’all don’t KNOW what I go through!  I don’t care WHO TALK about ME!  I don’t CARE! I always did! I always respect people that don’t respect me! I love who I LOVE! SO! I LISTEN and act RIGHT too! I co-sign on EVERYTHING y’all do! I give the fresh perspective, advice when solicited because WHO AM I TO JUDGE!  I’m so HAPPY and PROUD of myself! My Sister and I are a TAG TEAM! My FAMILY is AMAZING and Nana and Pop Pop didn’t CARE if anyone thou
