After dealing with connectivity issues, I submitted my fourth interview with Voyage Magazine. I’ve been anticipating other things, especially since there was another shift – another timeline is folding into my present one. There’s so much on the horizon, the glint of light is keeping the actuality of exactly what’s coming from my hindsight. Friday,…

All Uphill From Here
I never idle. I move when moved. I remember when the nurse from the clinic my mother visited called me right after I touched down in North Carolina – “she has cancerous cells…” Her voice trailed off. Cancer? I took a deep breath, respecting the confidentiality agreement. She told me what I could…it sounded severe….
Just Like That
My plaque is centered in our living room, for visitors to see. I originally didn’t want it, but it is a major accomplishment. My mother, despite our many differences, is proud of me. She gets wrapped up in the past, and will not change. But she at least said she’s proud. If you’re self made…
Stereotypes Equal Ignorance
I see the realm of ignorance hasn’t broaden. This is a touchy topic, but let’s talk about it. African Americans and other people of color stereotype their own people, constantly. My recent experience is proof many do not want to shed the bullshit. I have namely been classified as “white washed,” because I listen to…
How Delectable
Amazon Vine shows me wonderful things, sometimes already loaded on my recommendations. Sometimes I stumble across things on my own. Everyone else pilfers through the first three pages – I don’t think they go past that. I click on descriptions and don’t always settle for availability or pictures. There is a lot to see throughout…
Finding Time
There are a few days where I have no obligations, and I fill them as such. Just different things to do. The weather hasn’t been atrocious – it’s been moderate and comfortable. The previous weekend cannot be held to that esteem. It was hell outside. Here, I am finding that the recent pivot I made…
Amazon Vine – My Perspective
Before I started diving into the program, I did research and my own guesstimates. The reason being for the latter was to make sure I understood which direction this was going to go. I’ve been doing this for a little over a month. Before I launch my attack, Amazon Vine’s system is algorithm based. If…
Lossless
Creating a looming distance between what you’re told and what you know to be true is insane. But I’d rather operate on my own wave length, than pretend that what I hear is normal, or worse. To act. I would descend in such a way, that I would strip myself bare from my own intelligence…
Reap What You Sow
People can be cruel, I’ve seen my fair share of it. I’m positive I’ve been cruel during my lowest days. Nothing compares to blood mistreating you. Except redemption. Reap what you sow. I’m watching it unfold. My body type, race, even my gender wereunder this persons scope. My mistakes, my shortcomings…my pain. One day in…
