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…
& Tug of War
What we’re not gonna do is play tug of war with our love. Either you love me or you don’t. Don’t get my hopes up if you’re not going to hold me. Don’t pull me close just to push me away because I’ve been there. And that’s not fair. As long as you try and…
& Kindess
I’m grateful for anyone that’s ever hurt me because every now and then I need a reminder that the world isn’t as kind as I need it to be. It also motivates me to continue to spread kindness in hopes to warm someone’s cold soul.

& Intermission
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…
& 30 Word Story
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.”
& Romy & Michele
I don’t have a memory of first meeting her. We just did. Her mom and my mom were best friends and 3 month ol’ me was in the waiting room when she was born. That’s our joke. We got into trouble together and were each other’s alibis when we interrogated for it. We’ve had silly…
& I’ve Always Been a Reader
The thing that attracts me to books is the fact that books have always been there for me. There were times growing up when we had to choose between hot water or electricity and books made life easier. It was amazing that I practically grew up in the library. After school I was hanging out…
OMG It's Just Daé
