I am sipping wine on this fake holiday, but instead of celebrating a country being usurped from those who already called this place home… I am celebrating 🥀The Fray🥀 Dear “black” girl, we did it. I’ve written a lot of books, and all the main female characters are a woman of color. I made sure…

There Was a Shift
Yesterday, I was hoping views would go over 100 by next Monday on ABY’s website – I woke up to 130. The Fray is outperforming other creators on TikTok with the same follower count as me. And, it’s closing in on 29k reads for my website. The Fray has taken over. This is incredible –…
Stay Mad
I didn’t capitalize Blacks and I don’t think it would have made a difference – “What race do I identify as? Well – a large number of African Americans know I’m mixed but they’re never sure with what. White people never know either 😂 Latin Americans? Automatically. 🤣 I am Afro-Mexicana. My biggest issue is…
More Support
There are some touchy topics I’m going to cover here, but they are all truths. I long abandoned the “read for read” group antics of other writers because I was out of place. I’ve had many writers, especially white women, confront me for no reason other than fear. While I am prolific, imagine 20 year…
New Music – Ultra!
This single stayed on my mind for nearly a month (and much longer) as I awaited its release! It is a blend of different genre types from around the globe, making it “world music” and I’m here for the Avant- Garde style. It’s one of my more lively songs, and I would certainly say made…
Not Keeping My Mouth Shut
I am Afro Mexicana, and proudly American. No, I don’t watch football, so I didn’t watch the halftime show. However, I have words. First out of the gate – someone mentioned people shouldn’t complain because they eat salsa, chips, guacamole and drink tequila. Pause. Bad Bunny, Benito…is Puerto Rican. So that’s mofongo, plantain chips, and…
Great News!
I wokeup to an incredible email, and couldn’t be happier! Last week, I submitted my art to The Writing Fae, and it was accepted! I am so grateful for this opportunity. I typically push my writing, but I have a ton of Fantasy themed art work, both by traditional mediums and digital. I am unsure…
Transmuting Hatred
It has not become harder to create. When I started in 2012, it was difficult. There was an array of challenges I faced. Here I am, 12 years later, and I haven’t stopped. I will continue to create, post and uplift others. People who constantly report what I post are threatened, otherwise they wouldn’t do…
Into Surrealism, Care to Join?
For those of you who have studied art, you had required research as well. As apart of the actual curriculum, I studied Art History, I would say at least six years out of my earlier school days. Typically, most subjects started with the type of art (Modern, Classical Art, Surrealism) and from then on, you…
