Post #12: Check your breasts and know your family history
Just a reminder that not everyone survives their fight with breast cancer. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in the mid-90s. I was too young to remember most things. I just remember climbing into her hospital bed and asking her a million questions. Thankfully, she received chemotherapy and a mastectomy and was able to […]
Post #11: I’m a whole 29 years old…chile
I used to think that 30 was old. In my mind, 30 was the age in which I would need to have my entire life together…professional, social, emotional, mental, romantic and financial. Yeah, that’s not going to happen. Society does a good job of shaming people for not having everything figured out by 25. I’m […]

Bonus: Chadwick Boseman Forever 🖤
My heart broke when I learned of the death of Chadwick Boseman. He had battled terminal colon cancer for the past four years. He was such a phenomenal actor. Some of his most notable roles involved him portraying historical African American figures (James Brown, Thurgood Marshall, Jackie Robinson…). He brought such a dignity and depth […]
Post #9: I started today in tears…
Today is my mom’s 71st birthday. I wish my mom was still here. Grief is a never ending process. Some days I am happy and cheerful. Then there are other days when I am extremely sad and angry. The latter usually occurs around major holidays and our (my mom and I) birthdays. My mom used […]
Bonus: Why “Venus in September”?
Venus is the symbol for femininity and feminine energy. Romans worshipped Venus as the goddess of love and beauty. Also, it is powerful and related to the cosmic energy of the universe. The planet itself has a denser atmosphere and hotter temperature than Earth itself. From accepted research, it is completely uninhabitable save for the […]
Post #8: Love languages
Okay so I know that this is going to sound cliché but being single is a great time to discover things about yourself. One of the most important things you can discover is how you receive and feel love. This is called your love language. There are five love languages: acts of service, receiving gifts, […]
Bonus: Black is King
Beyoncé did an amazing job. I’m sure she had the help of many talented individuals. The hairstyles, lighting, clothing, music and symbolism were breathtaking. Black is King is such a beautiful body of work. “When it’s all said and done, I don’t even know my own native tongue. And if I can’t speak myself, I […]
Post #7: I wrote this on January 2, 2019…
My best friend, my angel, my mother…we were two peas in a pod. We argued like sisters sometimes because we were both so stubborn. Your sense of humor was unparalleled. You became a mother at age 42 because you never gave up on bringing me into this world. I wouldn’t trade these 27 years for […]
Bonus: The End of Bad Religion 2013-2020
This marks the end of an era. The end of a seven year delusion. This time, I’m throwing it in a mound of sticks and setting it on fire. May it burn completely with even no ashes left to see. I promise to never go back to it again. I deserve better. We all do. […]
