Year 7

Year 7

Aunt Colette  bought JJ a Scooter because he wants a hover board. If he masters the scooter(which he will) he will get a hover board. (If his Father says it’s OK) 

She taught Daenerys how to use the hover board even though Uncle Sam and I wasn’t with it at first 🤣 although Aunt Darlene was OK with it. That was the day that she helped me with JJ when we were on the beach (because Aunt Colette  and Kaiden were with Nery with the hover board) and JJ was being JJ. 

Dorinda, Fred, Alix and Mando wasn’t there, David and Carlton hadn’t arrived yet and Uncle James was cooking that good ass food. 

My Grandparents home was the ONE place I could be MYSELF. We could bring ANYONE over there with US (ALL the August Martin “CUTTERS”) went there as long as we pulled up around 1 so we could EAT before One Life to Live came on(the Todd and Marty era) 

My Mother ironically spent more time over there than Daddy did. Even when they weren’t together we went over there. When Nana died my Mother took it HARD. Granny passed away first and Nana was there for Mommy even if it was just in Unity there’s strength(CWA Local 1105 motto 💪🏾) 

Mommy-God knows I love my CHILDREN like you loved YOURS! Oh GOD how you were and always will BE the epitome of a beautiful, BLACK woman. You took so much PRIDE in being BLACK! And independent! And loving us both individually. You poured EVERYTHING into US and showed me how to LOVE. Period. You wanted me to be a Border Police Agent soo bad! Go to Texas to train y’all would watch David and I would be running the government in 5 years. YOU were so happy when I got that job at the phone company! The PERFECT fit! 

Nana told me I would be Mayor of NY by the time I was 40 if I would just run for office when she was still NANA. I asked her why she ain’t make me act right in high school. She said I was too uptight and a perfectionist and it was all good. I would look back on those years later and not care. And I don’t. Both of y’all only cared about who cared about y’all. End of story. 

As your birthday approaches and then your Heavenly ascension day so soon after comes this year I’m celebrating the fact that I am here because of you! I thank you for showing us that love can build a bridge! Your song- them Judd’s! I love you Ginny. Thank you for being my Mother and my role model. And picking my Daddy because without him there would be no THEM #OTF

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...
