It has been a while since I have been on here. Every day I wake up saying today is going to be the day that I post a new blog, and then nothing. This has been the scenario for the last 2 years. I have done a lot of journaling since the start of the [...]
Beware of Summer Solstice
Time… it is valuable. Once you lose it, it’s gone. There is no getting it back. I’m sure all of you are familiar with the saying “time is money”. It’s true. Time is money. But as important as money is to me, time itself is more important. Sometimes I think we truly believe that we [...]
In the case of Junior Versus The Citizens of New York City
In April of 2010, I wrote a blog post entitled “Are You Your Brother’s Keeper”. That post was a based on an incident that took place on April 24th, 2010, where a homeless man was brutally stabbed while saving a woman from a knife-wielding attacker. The homeless man was left to lie in a pool [...]
Suicide, A Public Manifestation of Death
Kate Spade was one of the savviest business women of our time. She broke barriers and paved the way for women everywhere. She was an icon. She was worth millions, and yet, even with all of the fame, fortune and notoriety, she still found no reason to live. As outsiders looking into the life of [...]
Don’t Let History Make You a Slave
Recently Kanye aka Yeezy went on yet another rant. This time stating that slavery was a choice. Obviously he’s disturbed and I’ll leave it at that. Clearly slavery was NOT a choice, but you you know what is a choice? Friendships. The people you choose to be in your inner circle. Your squad, your tribe. [...]
The Art of No
It's funny how children love to say “no”. After mama and dada, this is more than likely a child’s next word. Kids say no to everything! Water, food, sleep, you name it. They say no just for the hell of it. No hesitation, no concentration, it just comes out so easy. Interesting how things change [...]
FREEdom…
I am Black. I am female. I am a single mother. I am a Haitian-American. These labels make me beautiful. Each and every one of them make me the woman that I am today. Such a powerful mix… and yet each one of these labels contributes to my feelings of bondage. Have you ever felt [...]
Suicide… you don’t have to be crazy to contemplate it….
Life.... it's funny. You can be staring someone right in the eye and have no idea the pain they live with every day. We will never say that we are hurting. We will never tell. We are too busy making sure the world is a better place while suffering in silence. We are awesome. Everyone [...]
Fuck Boy
Fuck Boy… “A person who is a weak ass pussy that ain’t bout shit.” Urban Dictionary December 29, 2004, http://www.urbandictionary.com. The first time I heard the term fuck boy was summer of 2015. I was having a conversation with one of my younger cousins (who shall remain nameless), and she was talking about this guy [...]
The Anencephalic Infant; Are They People Too?
The use of anencephalic infants as an organ source has been a hot button issue for years. Anencephaly is defined as "a central nervous system abnormality that is characterized by congenial absence of the forebrain, skull and scalp". Infants with anencephaly do not typically live more than a few days. Death is certain in their [...]
