New Year Better Me

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot force them to drink. My Father used to say this all the time! Self care is imperative to longevity, health and prosperity. I cannot worry about anything more than myself including my children. I can’t and I AIN’T(I meant to write that)


When I was in elementary school my teachers used to teach me new words every day especially Ms. Goldstein and Ms. Bell. Ms. Bell was suppose to “carry me” Ms. Goldstein went on sabbatical but came back early because we weren’t staying up to par. My classsmates and childhood friends are so brilliant! I remember everything and I still LIVE here!

I learned how to read at 4 years old because I talked LATE so I was non verbal but understood everything like JJ so Granny gave me Mommy and Auntie’s high school math book to READ! It was orange and after the first thing I said EVER “Mommy I don’t want any oatmeal” I started reading the MF BOOK y’all! (Fred loves this STORY) 

I am deaf but worked at the phone company. I was a 411 Operator but losing my hearing. Then I became a representative and sales consultant and was so professional and proficient. I have a zero tolerance for mediocrity and I don’t give AF if I EVER work again finally! Mommy used to be like “your the only person who wants to work” My Mother busted her ass and died prematurely for US, my Grandmothers, Aunts and cousins, my Sister are the hardest working women I KNOW!

I ain’t forcing nobody to fuck with me in ANY capacity! I’m a hustler Ed Lee and Pretty Jimmy’s Granddaughters the HUSTLERS of ALL hustlers.  QGTM legitimately setting the trends! I been on and I’m taking care of myself and business! I’m not playing I’m 44 years old and I’m so focused! 

Anyone on my journey with me Let’s GO! Daniele and I Oprah and Gayle Gayle wasn’t even there yet Oprah had ALL her kids! I’m not playing I KNOW what I’m doing!

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
