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.

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
