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.

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

 I haven’t been bothering ANYONE I stay to myself and take care of my child and my business! I saw two GORGEOUS apartments in NY that wasn’t the right fit for JJ and I. With Aunt Colette and Ms. May because no matter WHAT they have going ON they GOT me! So in ONE WEEK I have set in place the steps to for THE FIRST TIME in my LIFE do exactly WTF I WANNA do! It’s so LIBERATING!  I’m not letting NOBODY stress me OUT! Y’all can HAVE that! I’m JJ’s EVERYTHING! I’m such a GOOD MOTHER! BOTH TIMES! I ask GOD EVERY day to give me the strength to keep moving! Y’all don’t KNOW what I go through!  I don’t care WHO TALK about ME!  I don’t CARE! I always did! I always respect people that don’t respect me! I love who I LOVE! SO! I LISTEN and act RIGHT too! I co-sign on EVERYTHING y’all do! I give the fresh perspective, advice when solicited because WHO AM I TO JUDGE!  I’m so HAPPY and PROUD of myself! My Sister and I are a TAG TEAM! My FAMILY is AMAZING and Nana and Pop Pop didn’t CARE if anyone thou
