Hey Now! 👋

It's been a minute but I'm back! Since I last wrote, my city (Chicago) has had two mayoral elections... the schools I last spoke about are still closed, and migrants are now here. My, my, my how time flies... 😩don't judge me! Anywhoo, I'm back to chat about what's new with me and more.

It's Pinktober! I want to send many virtual blessings to all breast cancer survivors and to the families of those who have been affected by breast cancer. Special blessings to the survivors in my life Aunt Charlotte, Bestie Tiff Martina, Cuz Tiff Yvonne. 🎀

It's also Q4! In fact, there are only 73 days left before January 1, 2024, arrives!! What a year it has been so far! The sisters are killing the game in tennis, track and field, gymnastics, and the WNBA! Congratulations are in order to some of the greatest female athletes to ever do it. First let's get into the youngest American to win the U.S. Open, Coco Gauff! The teenage star took down a 25-year-old seasoned pro to win her first-ever Grand Slam singles title, talk about major!! Go Coco! Now, let's talk about the good sis Sha'Carri Richardson who will soon have a school district track field named after her where she attended both elementary and high school. This announcement was made shortly after Sha'Carri claimed the title of 2023 World Championship in the 100-meters race! That's right Carri let the haters know what's up! Then there's THEE Simone Biles, who made headlines as the most decorated gymnast in history after she won her 6th world title!! Both Sha'Carri and Simone took some time off for a little self-care before returning to work and boom! Lastly, the Las Vegas Aces claimed the WNBA Championship for a second year in a row with A'ja Wilson named as Finals MVP! Whew, the girls are showing all the way out!! Congratulations to all of the ladies living out their dreams loudly!! Hard work definitely pays off. 💖 (queue in Ye's "Champion!") 


Speaking of Black Girl Magic, I officially finished my book, The Girl Code Rules of Engagement so kudos to MEEEE!! 🎉🎉 Yes, my labor of love is finally complete and ready for Pub Day! I was on schedule to launch in the Spring of '21 but my amazing father who was also my best friend transitioned just before my launch date, so I took some time off to regroup and during that year off, I even found the courage to go back and write a new chapter dedicated to him and our really cool relationship. The Girl Code Rules of Engagement is a coming-of-age book for young ladies ages 16-30. In the book, I talk about the unspoken rules of womanhood and everything in between, ranging from self-esteem, friendships, dating, parents, and more! So, if you have a young lady in your life, she needs a copy of my book, and I can't wait for her to read it! The eBook and paperback are available now on Amazon Kindle buy my book, in the meantime check out my book trailer below! 📚

Beware of the Dark

By
Small kids are usually afraid of the dark. Sometimes they are scared to enter a dark room or even scared to go to sleep in the dark.

I am afraid of the darkness that is in the air.. There seems to be a dark spirit looming around causing things to go terribly wrong. Anyone with a heart is mourning with the families in Newtown, Connecticut. What would possess someone to commit such a violent act? Some of God's youngest angels are gone, too soon.

These young men are so trigger happy, no one values a precious life anymore. And then there's the Kansas City Chiefs football player who left his new baby girl in this world with no parents to care for her. Why? ...

Office Friendships: To Be or Not To Be?

By
Becoming friends with your colleagues can be beneficial to your work environment for various reasons such as great office morale, positive communication, and friendly vibes. After all, many of us spend 40 hours a week or more around our colleagues, that's almost more time spent with them than time spent with our loved ones. Once in a while you'll find that one person or that group of people you call your work family . This group celebrates birthdays, hosts potlucks and you even do things with these people outside of work. I'm not just talking the after work group cocktail outings where everyone is invited, BUT the personal invites to hang out on the weekend and the after business hours phone calls to talk about what  REALLY happened in the meeting. Friendships are born and lifelong bonds are made. That's when work friendships are like finding the golden ticket! Wonderful idea right?   But what happens when a colleague is rubbed the wrong way by somethi...

Single Wives Sit Down with the "Heart Healer" Rob Hill, Sr.

By
Hey Young World! If you haven't figured out by now, I have a real true love for people! I love great relationships and I am an advocate for love and friendship on all levels. I recently started doing interviews with relationship experts and motivational speakers for The Single Wives Club , a website designed for the single woman who's preparing to become a wife. Now, now... even though it says wives that doesn't mean my conversations are strictly for women, these experts are giving the men something to think about too when it comes to dating women and maintaining good relationships. My latest interview is with the talented Rob Hill, Sr. Here's a sneak peak at what the "Heart Healer" had to say! "What’s up Single Wives? If you thought our last interview was a good one, wait until you read this! I had the pleasure of chatting with Rob Hill, Sr., also known as the “Heart Healer.” This writer, poet and motivational speaker definitely lives up to his name...
