ＵｎＡｍｅｒｉｃａｎ One day, future generations will look at all the things happening right now and question how everyone could be so naive. How we read in our history books about Germany and pretended to be so blind about history happening in the present day? How did we allow the government to get so far right…

A look back at my 2024 Bingo Board and what’s up for 2025.
Gen X Women: The Unsung Heroes Fueling Today’s Girl Power Movement
Generation X was playing Chess not Checkers when they raised millenial women. I finally finished reading Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women’s Work and sheesh! There’s a lot to unpack there. Towards the middle it got dry and then it picked up when it started talking about Black Women and their fight for bodily…

Return to Sender and Why Breakups Aren’t Failures
I self-published Return to Sender October 2018, but the book took a few years of collecting and reflecting the emotions from my first serious relationship. It follows me and at my most vulnerable points. There was purpose in the organization of the poems as the book reads like a story. It starts in the heat…

It’s sad that we sometimes have trouble with being properly appreciated because we’re so used to this throwaway narcissistic, instant gratification society.

Quirks are frowned upon because we all should be clones second…
#AmReading (002)
We’re not even finished with February and I’ve finished two novels so far in 2017. If only I wrote as quickly as I read. That’s a post for another day though. What started as me browsing the internet for free books on Instafreebie and Book Funnel, turned into me getting Advanced Copies from some pretty…
