How is it already March already? And why is that such a weird question for me to be asking? I mean, it feels like it's been the looooonnnnggest year ever, but it also feels like we're still adjusting to the changes of LAST March. Whew! Recent Posts My latest blog for Houston Moms... Well, I had a ton of fun with this one. Why can't self-love also mean making love to yourself? As far as I'm concerned, it does, and I have no shame about it. Got a tad bit risque (by Houston Moms standards at least) while I shared the importance and necessity of exploring our own bodies. Can we just make masturbation, as women, as wives, as mothers, normal already??? Also, I recently got a new tattoo to commemorate my 33rd birthday, and the meaning and vibes behind it have given me a fresh attitude for this new year of life. Anyone else need some positivity and light this year? Yeah, ditto! Reacquainted Through Black Excellence After 15 long years, I reconnected with one of my first childhood besties! Jay and I go way back to third grade! There was a long gap in our friendship when he moved away, but we reconnected on the last day of my high school senior year. Then life, adulthood and all that jazz created another gap. But we had an AMAZING opportunity to touch bases again a couple weeks ago! Jay had decided celebrate Black History Month by doing something that needs to be done much more often:: Elevating Black Voices. He began by reaching out to Black people he'd had the honor of connecting with over the years. Family members, colleagues, close friends, old friends. Each Friday of February, he has shared the conversations he's had had with each person. The chats shed light on each person's upbringing, how race has come into play in their lives, and what the "Black experience" has looked like for them. When Jay contacted me and asked we could discuss some of my views, the opportunity exhilarated me! We discussed my experiences growing up with a troubled mother, some of my struggles raising biracial children, and what I've learned through motherhood! Having the chance to catch with an old friend was enough to fill my cup for days on end, but being able to voice my struggle, conflicts and concerns as a Black woman allowed my cup brim and overflow. Thank you, Jay, for sharing my perspectives and being such an incredible sounding board! Our discussion was everything, and I appreciate you eagerness to share and uplift! Hope you enjoy all the content! Happy day!
