I love kids. I mean, I love kids. My goal in life is to be a stay-at-home wife and mother who manages her successful online business. If you know anything about kids, especially toddlers, you know that silence is not golden. Silence usually means that they are doing something they shouldn't be doing. There are… Continue reading like a child

transparency time Tuesday
It probably has everything to do with the way I grew up, but I feel like I am a bother to literally everyone. As I age, I move further away from the unkind words and actions of bullies and family, but the pain that birthed hesitation never left. I am genuinely fearful, at all times,… Continue reading transparency time Tuesday
how to be friends with a survivor
This post mentions sexual assault and domestic violence. Hi everyone! As always, thanks for coming back. I’m honestly just going to jump right in. I saw an acquaintance recently and while we were catching up, they reached out and touched me without giving me a heads up. Now, I’ve kind of always hated being touched… Continue reading how to be friends with a survivor
why I’m done dating for the time being
A few weeks ago I got dumped (for the second time in a year). You know what makes it worse? We were never official. He was just a man that I really liked and we slept together enough times for me to confuse lust with feelings deeper than like. Today we had a long conversation… Continue reading why I’m done dating for the time being
an open letter to Jonny and Mali
Dear Jonny and Mali, I can’t thank y’all enough for using your platform to push accurate information about the COVID-19 vaccine.

But God
I have this habit of stopping myself before the word but is used in a sentence. I haven't always done this. After a particularly nasty argument with my older sister last year, we sat down to talk. We spoke for about three to four hours and cleared the air. I apologized to her because I… Continue reading But God
long time no talk
Hi everyone. To anyone who is still somewhat invested in what I have to say, thank you. As many of you know, I was sexually assaulted in February. What none of y’all know is that I spiraled. HARD. I’m not celibate anymore. I drank a lot. I even started smoking weed again. Well Imani, what… Continue reading long time no talk

Something to cheer about…
Today was a special day. It actually has nothing to do with the Inauguration! Don't get me wrong now, I 100% cried when I saw Kamala Harris officially become the Vice President, but that is not why today was a special day. One year ago today, I made a decision to wait until marriage to… Continue reading Something to cheer about…
