Brunch Tings.

Today my BFF and I threw a Christmas brunch. It was cute or whatever. I love the fruits of my labor, but I ain’t gon lie, I did not enjoy the labor part. I’m tied though so maybe I’ll share more tomorrow. Byeeeeee.

Snow Day.

I’m proud of Atlanta, the snow came and the city didn’t shut down. We’ve learned. It was just a few years ago when Snowmageddon had the whole nation laughing at us. The snow is cute and all but I need to know why Atlanta weather like to play so much. We were in the 60’s […]

The Glow of Love.

Y’all I love Luther. I think I loved him before I was born, actually. My parents tell me when my mom was pregnant with me, they went to a Luther Vandross and Patti LaBelle concert, so I think it’s no coincidence that when I was old enough to choose the kind of music I liked, I […]

Bottoms Up.

Ayeeeee! Keisha won the election y’all! No thanks to me though, I didn’t vote. Shame on me, I know, I know. Although I’ve lived in the City of Atlanta for eight years (blocks away from City Hall), I’m still technically a resident of Maryland. I’ll do better in my 30’s, I promise. I’m proud of […]

I Can’t Stand the Rain.

Y’all should’ve seen me nearly running across campus this afternoon trying to save me and my wig from the heavy rains and winds that Accuweather assured me were on their way. I launched into full panic mode when like clockwork, gentle drops of water bounced off my forehead. They arrived right on time at 5 […]

Alpha Men.

My parents exposed me to college life at a young age– we visited their alma mater’s homecoming festivities and they often told me stories of life as students at Jackson State University. During his college experience, my dad became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and entered a brotherhood of excellence and service. […]

Cheers.

One of my friends turned 35 today and of course there were toasts. During and after the toasts I cried like a baby. Like cried more than when I was being toasted a few weeks ago for my own birthday. I think I cried because it so beautiful to see the power of human connection. […]

Joy to the World.

I’m listening to the Spelman-Morehouse Christmas Carol Concert and I’m shook. I experienced it in person last year and was in tears as I listened to the beautiful Black voices that sung before me. This year I’m watching from home but the feeling is the same. Aside from the fact that these students sound amazing, […]

IKEA.

My best friend and I are throwing a Christmas brunch and needed a few items from Ikea. We decided to go tonight (Friday) to get it out the way and free up our weekend. I have a love-hate relationship with Ikea, I love all the stuff but I also hate all the stuff. There’s so […]

Gone ’til November

This was probably the best November I’ve ever had–well maybe except for the November I was born. If you’re just tuning in, I recently turned 30, which is something I didn’t put much thought into until it was staring me in the face. I kind of purposely didn’t put too much thought into it because […]
