A Mighty River

PSA: To ALL the PEOPLE of COLOR who CLOWNED Tyler Perry on SOCIAL media for YEARS he’s MAKING the MOVIES that y’all thought he should of been making ALL along NOW. At his own STUDIO built on a former plantation and sacred SOIL. 



My Mother was a Tyler Perry Superfan. Her and Cherylann from the BEGINNING. She said these stories needed to be told because it be just like THIS in REAL LIFE. I remember one LOW day in my LIFE back when he was still writing his weekly and sometimes daily emails. He was talking about how he was defeated, broke, lost and HURT. Because throughout his LIFE f*cked up SH$T happened to HIM yet he remained aligned with God and gave him ALL the Glory. 


He was BROKEN. He told the owner of the theater this was IT. The last show he was going back to MCI or whatever telecommunications company he worked for. This was the LAST show. He asked God for a SIGN. And he looked out the window and the line was around the Block for his show.  


People come into your life for a SEASON. He taught me that TOO. Sometimes those seasons leave trees as rewards so nurture and sustain the TREE. He also taught me not to be embarrassed about the things that happened in your life. Mary J Blige taught me that too. 


I spent so much of my life worried about my REPUTATION instead of thanking God for my CHARACTER. My Mother NEVER cared what people thought about her. Duane always wanted me to be STRONG because he’s my REAL friend. 


I go so HARD for my FAMILY. I put EVERYTHING into my KIDS because my Mother worked so HARD so that we NEVER sat in the street or was hungry. We may of not always liked what we ATE but we ATE every DAY. 


As I embark on this journey of cultivating and manifesting what The Creator has in store for me I thank God for the lessons and the love from my Mother. Back watching bootleg Madea with no closed captioning my MOTHER made SURE I HEARD her SAY “Let them GO” 


If I ever was TOXIC in your LIFE I apologize. I sincerely do. Because releasing ALL that is not for ME has changed my LIFE. Perfection is unattainable yet happiness comes from within. 


LIVE on your LEVEL yet DREAM on ANOTHER.

  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 ...
