This week I called my friend on the phone, both because of social-distancing and because they live in California, and admitted that I felt I had a selfish reason for being upset over the Coronavirus outbreak. I told my friend I was so excited to celebrate Women’s Month (March). I had spent the last week…
I'm really anxious about the Coronavirus. Two weeks ago, I was only vaguely aware that it was a problem overseas and I assumed that even if it traveled to the US, it would come and go with little impact. Last week at the office, I kept passing by people talking about Coronavirus in hushed voices.…
In honor of Black History Month, I joined a committee of Black women at my job to develop a program to educate our fellow coworkers about the advancements and innovations of Black Americans throughout history. One aspect of the project that excited me, was taking the opportunity to research and create posters of Black historical…
After the most recent new Steven Universe Future episodes it looks like we’re in for another looong hiatus--just like the good ol’ days. These last two episodes pulled on my heart strings in a way few previous episodes have. I think it’s because Steven seems to be spiraling deeper into a young adult existential crisis,…
Hi all! I’m back again with my quickie mini review of the two new Steven Universe Future episodes that aired last weekend...and the ones that aired two weekends ago. Let’s dive in. Bluebird Steven and friends finish filming a Little Homeschool commercial, when Steven discovers that someone has been “pranking” him. Like, gingerly stacking toilet…
On Black Friday, I went with my family to see Queen & Slim. As we exited the theater after the credits rolled, our heads hung low, my mom asked my younger brother what he thought of the ending. “I am not pleased,” he said. Without him specifying, I understood that my brother was upset because…
Steven Universe Future premiered on Cartoon Network last Saturday night! I watched, of course or I wouldn’t be writing about it. And I have so many feelings about this new mini-series/continuation of the Steven Universe story. So I thought I’d write a quickie mini review of the first four episodes that premiered last weekend and…
I have a liberal arts degree, so I understand how you feel. I have a Bachelor of the Arts degree in psychology and a minor in sociology. When I tell people, people who are my parents’ age, what I studied in university, I have to immediately brace myself for uncomfortable questions like: “What are you…
Some time ago, I went for almost one whole month without hearing from a good friend of mine. I was not worried. I did not assume she had grown tired of me. I felt pretty certain that she was busy. But I missed her lack of company, and I missed reading her texts on my…
Following the 2016 election, I am slowly losing my ability to feel surprised by anything anymore, especially how furiously certain people will react to a commercial with a commendably structured anti-toxic masculinity message. Now, I’m not going to climb up onto a soapbox and claim that this shaving supply commercial is the paragon of what…
For the Love and Liberation of Black Childhood
From soul to soul
a resource for moving poetry
In happiness my words I lack, in grief they overflow.
Little Flecks of Inspiration and Creativity
I dream so I write ..
to be worth sharing
Poetry, haiku, tanka, and micropoetry
seeking solace in the horizon of life and beyond
Only as good as my word, and I often have pretty bad - or should I say poor - word choice.
still brown. still gay.
