Well, I’ve been running from this blog post for quite some time. Since late 2018, I’ve toyed with the idea of shutting down my blog and focusing exclusively on my screenwriting. Writing is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. It’s

I’ve been working remotely for quite some time. I know you’re wondering why I have a photo of Winston Duke as the featured image 1.) it got you to come here and 2.) that’s how I used to lay in bed when

Homecoming was this weekend and I had a wonderful time. I haven’t been to homecoming in two years and had no plans to do so this year until my best friend talked me into it. We went nonstop from 11 a.m. to

I’m currently emerging from the longest depressive episode of my life. Truth be told, I’m stumbling out of this bitch. Exclusive footage of me trying to recover from all of the wild shit that’s been going on since I turned 30. Over the course

Photo: Instagra / @theshiggyshow I really don’t have time for a personal blog today. I have a list of deadlines staring at me like daggers and I really need to buckle down in order to fulfill them. Facebook is to blame. Jesus

I’ve said it before and I don’t mind saying it again. 2017 was a dumpster fire. The turmoil and distress from last year is a close second to my 2010. The differences between the two are a.) my attitude and b.) my

The streets are buzzing. It has come to my knowledge that Lisa read my earlier blog post. She’ll be okay. There are a number of screenshots, group chats, and text messages circulating about me, some positive, some not so positive. I even

I swear by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, I’ll never be a maid of honor again. I’m going to try my best to be tactful with this story, but my God, it’s a doozy. It’s rare to find people, especially women are still

I really don’t have time to blog today, but I can’t hold this in. I consider it a personal attack when someone I’m interested in doesn’t text back. No warning. No explanation. No nothing, Jesus. Just silence. It’s not even the fact that a

Here is actual footage of my 2017: Whew. Where do I begin? I’ve worked on this blog post for three days pondering on how depressing and pessimistic I want it to be. I shed a few tears writing the first draft, then

Ya’ll. This is a wild ass story. I don’t even know where to begin, but my spirit says it’s time to release this past experience into the universe. I wrote about my Maya Angelou funeral horror and even opened up about the scary decision

God, I hope she never reads this. If you’ve been following me this year, then you know I’ve fallen off. I don’t write blogs as frequently as I should. I am late responding to Facebook notifications (primarily because I removed the app

This began as an Instagram post inspired by a tweet. When I sat down to write the post, it became too long-winded even for me. I rarely discuss fashion and beauty topics because, well, that’s not my ministry. God has made room for

Exclusive image of me counting the number of losses I’ve taken in 2017. While everyone else stumbled out of 2016 like Tina did in that epic scene from What’s Love Got to Do With It after laying the smackdown on Ike, I was certain

Last Wednesday, I woke up refreshed and in a strange, overly chipper mood. It wasn’t the restful 10-hour slumber from the night before or the PayPal notifications chirping on my phone, signaling that my clients had paid their invoices. On this morning,
