Pretty Much

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? Everyone tried to change me. I got used, lied to, cheated on. I’ve been arrested, I even tried to kill a man. I’ve dated rich men, I’ve dumped them too. Being who I am on the inside has kept me sane. I have changed or…

Helpful

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…

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…

As A Mother

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? In 2017, I had reached my breaking point. I just brought my youngest home from the NICU, after he had been there for four very long months. He came three and a half months early. I felt something building I knew could not be avoided,…

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….

All Mothers Need Time

Do you need time? Every evening, when me and my boys are settling in, I tell them to give me a moment. They love jumping into my bed, and burying themselves in the blankets. The day has been long, so I usually like this time to myself. So I tell them very kindly, “I’ve been…

It Will Be Everything!

What will your life be like in three years? Firstly, my significant other is moving states so we can be under the same roof. That is literally the highlight of my life right now – not even my books or music hold a flame to that. Him and I running a household is everything. So…

Open Sesame

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? I hope this doesn’t sound cliche. If I had three wishes, I would certainly use it for mankind’s good and not my own. Money means nothing. Materiel items as well. Beauty too. All of anything that serves no greater purpose is not something I’d…
