Fight the good fight but don’t forget to protect your peace…
It has now been weeks since the start of the protests. Since it began I have cried, felt helpless, been angry, cried some more, posted, donated, protested, cried some more, wanted to burn this whole bitch down and all of that is just the surface of the bout with depression that I was already fighting.… Continue reading Fight the good fight but don’t forget to protect your peace…
Okay, so like…I’m over this…
For the most part, I've been maintaining and doing alright during this quarantine. Like, I'm a homebody, so being home hasn't as much been the problem as it is being told I can't leave freely is. It wasn't until now, and perhaps as a result of being told we're in the house for another 3… Continue reading Okay, so like…I’m over this…

If you're anything like me, then you are the type of person who is there for everyone. You're the backbone, the support system, the confidant, the go-to person for those you care about. It's a role that you play with great honor. It is also a role that can exhaust you if you don't take… Continue reading Let’s talk boundaries, shall we?
Life as I come to know it…
Why "Life as I come to know it"? Well, because that's how I'm approaching each day. No one has it all figured out, and anyone who tells you they do is either full of shit or has put a limit on themselves without even knowing it. Even at the height of success, the wisest people… Continue reading Life as I come to know it…
Why I finally decided to stop waiting and started creating.
Since I was four years old, my only real dream has been to be an actress. I had moderate success with the "Romeo Show!" and a few guest star roles here and there. Followed by a prolonged drought filled with no's, heartbreak, doubt, and financial struggles. The business of acting will smack you back into… Continue reading Why I finally decided to stop waiting and started creating.

"What are you afraid of?”, a question that can be super generic depending on whose asking and answering. I mean, I could go down a list of things I'm afraid of that would answer the question perfectly fine. Spiders, the dark, snakes, heck, I just had to turn the light on to watch the end… Continue reading “What are you afraid of?”
