Social Distancing

I haven’t really written a lot lately on Facebook but I have something to say: I am a Native New Yorker and strive to be a leader by example and to bridge the divide. ONLY in NYC can you leave your family in y’all safe haven and go home and take a hot shower because they turned the lights on after weeks post Sandy and come outside smelling like a new day has dawned and run into Governor Cuomo and the media on the corner of your block....

I am an orator. My strength comes from the fact that I am deaf so I block out the noise. I make eye contact with people, I engage you. I was grateful that he was THERE. I was happy he took the time to  talk to everyone. My zenith had already come when Christine Quinn who at the time was City Council Speaker and has a deaf relative came marching over to me at the National Verizon ERG event that I orchestrated. She was the keynote speaker. I told her years ago at a Women’s Day event don’t be scared of Bloomberg RUN don’t wait and I will help you. My CEO was so proud of me-he came from the bottom and he KNEW how hard I worked. Those moments meant a lot to me. Talking to Andrew Cuomo was and is a catalyst to me considering what we are experiencing and what lies ahead....

My handshake is my signature. Before I even tell you I am deaf I shake your hand. It will start the conversation. Every time. My Daddy taught me that. Governor Cuomo has the nicest, kindest, brightest eyes....I shook his hand like he will remember this one day. He was ready... I started my speech on behalf of my community. Everyone was out there we was by The now shuttered Chinese restaurant Beijing. The same one me and my friends used to be in when we were in JHS. The same window I was looking out of doing Social Studies and Ms. Schwartz we had her for two years (Daniele HATED her) Manifestation...

I say what I WANT! I know what to say not to go to jail-knock on wood. That’s why I don’t antagonize opposing loyalists because they are crazy and they will hurt you. Cuomo isn’t scared of anyone. I have seen him up close-he pays like he ways he can knock you down. 

He really was listening to me and talking to me so I could hear him. Of course ain’t nobody was saying shit you could hear a pin drop....I told him my theory on the cause of the outage and the time it took to reconnect it and my mother’s physical ailments culminating with the election that year. He asked me how we faired together at Mommy’s house but Chris his little brother (that’s his best friend because their Dad worked a lot)HAS the CORONAVIRUS which can turn on you instantly.....

When this was in China and Italy we didn’t have it. Look at NY. It was all good two weeks ago. STOP getting your hair done in people’s houses. STOP letting people come in your house. Just because someone doesn’t look sick doesn’t mean they aren’t. Let the NYPD under Former Commissioner O’Neill handle the ventilators and medical equipment so if we have left overs we can pass them along. 

I am candid with you all because I love you. Each and everyone one of you that are my friends on Facebook I love or I would of deleted you my shit is PUBLIC for the heroes and the haters. THIS is NOT a TEST!   


And when this is OVER we will not be the same. The irony of it is it took ALL this to make us wanna put our phones down and go outside and play. When you see Andrew you see Mario but that’s Matilda’s child. Chris too. This shit is so REAL. I am with my children. STAY in the house ALL over the COUNTRY PLEASE....

Cocoon

I spent a lot of time alone. For the first time in my life I truly reflected on where I am, where I wanna go and where I have been. I cannot go back and undo anything. There are no do-overs. Just moments that will matter.   I was raised on sitcoms and soap operas. I wrote plays and skits as a child. In my teenage years I rebelled but I was given absolution from my Family and God when both my sons were born a generation apart. The two human beings that I never once thought about not bringing into this world.  I’m living every day on purpose and in my own element. I’m thriving because I’m changing everything I ever was into everything I can be. I had to give myself permission to do this . It changed my life.  I tried to see the good in everyone. It’s not my journey. I can’t care about everyone. Mommy told me that after Chevelle died. She told me my heart was so big. But it can’t carry everyone . It will burst. She said she knows I thought she was a bit cold but it...

I’m Speaking

 My Children’s GROWTH, conquering my FEAR of FLYING, keeping JJ in a wonderful LEARNING environment, traveling the WORLD and HEALING from being ABANDONED by Damn near everyone I HELPED time and time AGAIN! It was too MUCH ALL the TIME yet it taught me that if I put all that effort into me and mines I could create MAGIC.  Don’t nobody LOVE harder than ME. My FAMILY, FRIENDS etc. I’m not EVER going to apologize for THAT. But I KNOW in order to GROW you have to LET go. My life changed when I rewrote my STORY.  I watched my entire hometown be completely rebuilt throughout the sorrow of The Pandemic. Out of the ashes of despair, uncertainty, class, religion and race division, and YES generational disenfranchisement has emerged a budding metropolis for future generations of New Yorkers.   Above ALL losing my Mother on that bright September day six and a half years ago while pregnant with JJ set me on this trajectory. David’s support and foundation yes helped strengthe...
