California Love





I just want to thank EVERYONE who breathes LIFE into ME! Who encourages my choices, parenting, progress. Who holds my hand when I need it and cheers me up when I’m down. Who lifts me up when I’m soaring so I can go even higher. 


This Summer taught me you don’t need a lot of people around you. You just need the RIGHT people around you. 


A year ago I was literally sick to my stomach because the school I wanted JJ to remain in was saying he couldn’t go there anymore. I’m now the Vice President of ALL the schools and JJ is back at his site creating books, doing Yoga, eating vegetarian dumplings and being the Artist that only he can be. It was never anything more than it’s the best environment for his needs in this CITY and he belongs THERE. 


I wrote a business plan that ironically was modeled for a school district in California. I have read voraciously up on how to acquire a business AND  as a woman of color and disabled. For the last twenty one years I have been DEAF. When my former career, my political aspirations and my event planning experiences were colliding Auntie was trying to help me get a Venue. I was DEAF. I haven’t forgotten that. How she ALWAYS helps ME my whole life with my kids. How I was going to do this during Quarantine ANYWAY but my ideas (a private investigation firm 🤣did not go over WELL with my investors) I appreciate Auntie Helen with EVERYTHING in ME. I have ALWAYS been ON. 


As Summer transitions into Fall I look back and see that timing is EVERYTHING. God is The Redeemer. He knows his plans for me. I want to maintain a base in New York and an Business in my community but I definitely want to move to Los Angeles in some way contribute to the industry as a Creator.  My best friend since I was 5 who was repeating to me what the teachers was saying when we were little is amping me SO 🤷🏾‍♀️I’m a try my luck in L.A. when the time is RIGHT and God says so. 


Aunt Audrey always was like “Trust Him Kim.” I am and I’m thankful for the journey. Alanna Abraham-sheard taught me that so long ago. Trust the journey.

Turning the Page

  Mommy and her friends at Russo’s on the Bay at a Post office reunion. Uncle Goode sent me this and boy oh boy was I startled this morning.  I see her life as a testament that you reap what you sow. It takes under ten seconds to tell anyone what you do for a living. My Mother worked in the Post office her entire career. After a brief stint as a teenager with Auntie Helen at ironically the phone company.  Choosing a federal job over the BANK! She was hired on the SPOT as a woman of color because she was a mathematical genius. Courtney inherited that trait for her. She was seventeen years old. Tour 1 like a FOOL (11pm-7am)she would say. After she began working in the Vault 7am-3pm after almost thirty years of the night shift. She was in the vault in the Post Office at JFK in NYC on September 11, 2001.  She was concerned about me getting home newly hearing impaired at MetroTech downtown Brooklyn. I love EVERYTHING about you Ma but the BEST thing was you were so GENUINE...

Betty Baisley

 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 ...
