First Book Out


 Today has been overwhelmingly exciting. I took a huge first step of courage and finally put out some of my work. I've been filling notebooks up for years with many untold stories.  Stories that invoke the most creative side of me. These stories are not just about characters undergoing challenges and overcoming them. They're about me pushing myself passed my limits and having the courage to pursue my dreams. I've been extremely shy about sharing my work in the past, but I have tried over the years to be more open. Be more unapologetic, be more confident in my gifts, and strive to be unafraid of people opinions of me. I always spent years writing and trying to decide what I thought was worthy to be published. I was searching for a perfect story in my notebook, and forgetting I don't write to be perfect. I write because it's my passion! It's what I love to do most when I bury myself in my home and want to relax. Storylines swim through my head until I finally turn an idea into a book. I'm so incredibly thankful to God and my family and friends. I've learned so much during this process and plan on utilizing this information to help me with my future endeavors. If you enjoy urban fiction literature don't hesitate to check out my debut book "Grasp tha Limelight" available right now on Amazon Kindle at an affordable price.

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op

Money Monday 💲💲💲

Everyone needs it, but everyone uses it differently! Today, we're discussing different types of money personalities. The way you perceive your finances affects your children, so financial literacy is overly significant. Money Hoarders just have to hold on to every cent. These individuals take pride in saving and budgeting their income. Money Monks take a moral standpoint on their funds. They don't want their amount of money earned to turn them away from their spiritual beliefs. "Money is the root of all evil," for money monks. Spenders like to throw all their hard earned money away. They are driven by impulse, and their wallets reflect it! Avoiders don't care for the responsibilities that come with money management. Lack of knowledge and confidence in their income causes them to be apathetic about their financial state. Amassers love obtaining wealth and multiplying it. They have entrepreneurial spirits, and desire to make their money into generational wealth. Wer
