Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. I hope someone says I helped them in some way, because it lets me know I unconsciously did so. I do not help for gratification, I hope what I’m doing helps steer someone in a better direction – gives them hope or realizes there are…

Integrity
What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I learned the word when I was 12, and hardly saw it demonstrated. People would prefer to be unscrupulous, always scheming to get their way, instead of doing the right thing. I call it the grey area…the void where people assume a little good and bad…
Less Perfectionism
What could you do less of? The absolute need to attempt perfection when I know it’s more than just a falsehood, and has hurt me in the past. It’s unrealistic and pointless. I prefer the cycle of life to what I was taught – to walk, talk, dress and seem a certain way. The moon…
Too Many To Name
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? I will name my top three- 3. Finishing The Fray! It is a 100k word Dark Fantasy novel. So many people have reached out about it! This novel is meant to reach Afro-Latina, African Americans and everyone in between! A lot went…

Flaws and All
What is one thing you would change about yourself? Not a thing, really. I wouldn’t fully be myself. I accept my flaws and all. Without them, I’d only be a fraction of who I am. Etching parts we don’t like about our self out of the equation doesn’t ensure you’ll be better off. Working on…
Oh No…Not This Again
It happened. Things were picking up and doing well, and along came a spider. Hm. Maybe a different analogy. Along came a human being, unbeknownst of the road I’ve traveled to get here. It started off kind – the type of syrup that’s goopy and serves no purpose. It immediately jettisoned into a duel. “My…

Not only lying to yourself but others, constantly, and expecting leniency instead of working on your behavior Competition, comparison and trying to tear others down for gain fit within what’s…
First Place
Who are your current most favorite people? I usually don’t have favorites, because it causes competition. I’ll say I have a small group of people whom I admire for their traits which include selflessness, transparency, honesty and empathy. It’s hard to find genuine people now, so when it comes my way, I am forever grateful….
Just A Feeling
Do you trust your instincts? If when I meet someone, whether online or irl, and I feel any type of way…I began to question their motives. I observe their behavior for a time, but I do take note on what’s been said and done. I’m not judging – more so making sure that gut feeling…
