I was faithful to my iPhone for about five years. You couldn’t tell me that the iPhone wasn’t the best phone on the market. My best friend would tell me otherwise and I never took her serious until the iPhone 6 dropped and I started to question why I was buying the same phone over…

& No Apologies
No Apologies It only took me 26 years but I’m madly in love with myself. I love the rich cocoa complexion I was so blessed with The bright smile that somehow survived candy as a food group and every other curve on my body makes me smile in the mirror. I’ve grown to realize that…
& Your Words, My Life
When I was a kid, I hated my cocoa colored skin. I didn’t have a reason either. Turns out I hated it because everyone else hated it. I got pushed and shoved and called names that I still remember to this day. I still vividly remember the fresh tears rolling down my cheeks after one…

It happened in junior high. Like a movie he approached me in a crowded cafeteria, asked me to be his girlfriend and when I hesitated he had everyone chant “say yes.” I still remember that smile and confident stride. I got sucked into his charm and my life hasn’t been the same since. “It’s always…

Somehow I left my heart in Greece, even though I’ve never been there. I lie to myself and him every time I utter those two semi-permanent words “It’s over.”
OMG It's Just Daé
