I recently bought a stained-glass cutting board from Moss and Mustard. Not because I needed a new cutting board, but because I was intrigued by seeing a Black woman reflected in stained glass. A Black woman with hair like mine and facial features that resembled mine. It reminded […]
Common sense sometimes just ain’t common. When my siblings and I were kids, and we did something stupid, my dad would tell us, “When God was handing out common sense, you were outside begging for a bag of rocks.” That is how I felt watching my people talk […]
I had some thoughts about last night’s 2022 election, particularly Georgia. So many people have asked, “How could Stacey Abrams lose the Gubernatorial race in Georgia?” Let me explain to you how. Below is the, One Night In Miami scene I referenced in my video. And please note […]
Recently a clip from a Father’s Day sermon titled Real Men Pour In by megachurch pastor TD Jakes has caught backlash on social media. In his sermon, TD Jakes advice to women is to be careful pouring too much into men because men are designed to pour into […]

Fix it, Black Girl. Fix us, Black Girl. Nurse us, Black Girl. Teach us, Black Girl. Be the help, Black Girl. Clean up our messes, Black Girl. Vote for us, Black Girl. Don’t complain, Black Girl.
