Last we spoke
Last we spoke, I was completing my first week in my new position, at my new job. A company called Mosaic. I was a 27 year old child, trying to find my way in this big big world. Now, a woman with 28 long years under my belt, I’m ready to tackle anything that gets in my way. It’s hard… Read more →
Onward and Upward
This is quite a meaningful post, as it is broken into two parts. I began writing on my last day at TV One and finish writing on my last day of my first week at my new job- Mosaic. Then: This will be the last time I type on this keyboard, looking at this wide Acer screen, surrounded by these… Read more →
Valentine’s Day: Cupid is Not My Homeboy
I’m sure many are hesitant to click a blog with the headline “Valentine’s Day”. Oh great, what does this happily married chick have to say about Valentine’s Day? Jasmine loves love more than anyone else I know, I’m sure this is her favorite holiday. Well, you will be surprised to know that I am a part of the majority thinking… Read more →
Happy New Year- 2014
Happy New Year! I must admit, towards the end of 2013 I became very lackadaisical on my blog posting and for that I apologize. I have decided in 2014, I am going to try to write a blog post at least once a month. If you are lucky (ha, like you care) or if exciting things happen, I will possibly… Read more →
Time to get Racial!
I was extremely moved by an article I read today. The piece was called “Coming Out as Biracial”. Interesting title right? When I hear “coming out,” I automatically think of the pinnacle moment in some LGBT people’s lives where they disclose their sexual orientation to those they care most about. This moment is very special, but I imagine it to… Read more →
Trayvon Martin
I really wanted to weigh in on the whole Trayvon Martin tragedy. I wrote a paragraph here and there, then deleted the whole document. I would go on Facebook and see status’ supporting both sides, then go to write a status myself and again that would be deleted. I was definitely that girl glued to the television and Twitter when… Read more →
Oh, Generation Y
I was having a discussion with some of my friends regarding our generation- Generation Y and it really got me thinking. While I definitely appreciate other generations and get along with them, it is funny to think of how truly different we are. You wouldn’t think being born between the early 1980’s and 2000, would make that much of a… Read more →
Interracial Relationships
We all have obsessions. Some are healthier than others. Chocolate, fashion, celebrities, Pinterest… these are normal to have. According to Merriam Webster an obsession is a “persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling.” Why must it be disturbing? And why is it often unreasonable? Whose to judge? I know that some people obsess till a point where… Read more →
The Ideal Me
Do you ever wish you were someone else? Sometimes I do. Don’t get me wrong, I love me. I might love myself to a fault at times, and I am definitely blessed for all that I have, there are just characteristics of other people that I admire and wish I had. I suppose I could change, adopt these qualities as… Read more →
Can’t Hide From Death
What a morbid title for a blog, right? You decided to read, so what does that say about you? Well, much like you, death is intriguing to me. Say the word Death aloud. It has a scary, yet mysterious quality to it. It is something that you and myself (the living ones) don’t know much about. Sure, we all know… Read more →
