7/10/26 - Nolan Wells..that’s it that’s all.

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 21:00:00 -0400

Why? That’s the million dollar question with a load of answers. One being just look at that picture. Black boy ( young man ) with a host of White friends ( NOT ). First block the noise aka misinformation. Second pay attention to ALL the players including those at that Horn Island. Somebody(s) saw, heard and probably has video. Rest in Peace Nolan! Justice will come a knocking.

6/9/26 - Karmelo Anthony didn’t have not one black juror

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 20:00:00 -0400

I’ll let the title and episode speak for itself. This young man is facing a life sentence of 5 - 99 yrs. He’s 19, black and didn’t have not one juror that looks like him. If you thought we aren’t still here, we are.

6/3/26 - Delaney Hall part deux

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Delaney Hall is still in the news as it should be, but we have a lot of players entering the chat. There’s Gov. Mikie Sherrill, Mayor Ras Baraka, Markwayne Mullin, etc. There’s a lot of discourse regarding what the governor put into play. Then you have the mayor calling the state police untrained. Oh and Markwayne is just the mouthpiece for that person. Do your own due diligence regarding the facts and remember the best laid plan can have its faults.

5/28/26 - DELANEY HALL.

Thu, 28 May 2026 21:00:00 -0400

Can we or I talk about Delaney Hall? They say it’s national news but I beg to differ. No human being should be subjected to inhumane conditions and treatment. Delaney Hall isn’t new. It’s not a popup spot that’ll go away like Alligator Alcatraz. What happened to those detainees?

5/26/26 - In a week of wins I got a Job

Tue, 26 May 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Yes, I got a J O B and boy was that process stressful. Two interviews scheduled a week apart. The first was one on one and the other a panel. Never have I ever had a panel interview in all my grown years, but I nailed it being ME. There’s still 7.37 million people unemployed in the US with the national unemployment rate at 4.3%. Not cool at all.

5/7/26 - Why did I get nervous before an interview?

Thu, 07 May 2026 13:00:00 -0400

Wait wait….I was nervous days before my interview. The interview happened this past Tuesday and it went well. But hold up, now I have another one ( different position same company) for next week with three ( not one ) people. I’m going to be screaming like those Deja videos saying “ Help Me “. Lol! In all seriousness I’m happy I got an interview and hope it’ll lead to a job offer. K bye!

4/30/26 - The lined SCOTUS has done it again

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 13:00:00 -0400

The SCOTUS is doing the job that person wants them to do. He lined it with yes people who out vote the no. It’s never been about winning fair and square. That person is taking us back to when we ( Blacks ) had no rights. So what are you going to do about it? Are you still sitting back and kicking your feet up as The Rights we’ve known are being stripped away?

4/26/26 - Cheating real talk

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0400

So we all heard it, read it, questioned and offered opinions about it. Like most said but why she’s smart, beautiful and like the whole package. The question is why do you care? Or should I ask why are y’all so invested in celebrity, athlete, etc., relationships? Social media is abuzz. Imma drop a link to a blog post I wrote back in 2018. Give it a read.

4/24/26 - Friday, gate keeping and random shit

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400

Gate keeping…..why? Is it hard for us to share the wealth, money and knowledge? I mean we see it everyday mainly via social media. Side hustles are becoming bigger than life. With so many leaving those 9 to 5s making more $$$ and setting their own schedules. Not mad at anyone, just wondering why so many choose not to share. Whether it’s a hustle, clothing, advise, etc. This is just me wondering.

4/20/26 - reintroduction, life updates and what’s next

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:00:00 -0400

4/17/26 - the great debate: Can Men & Women have platonic friendships

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 19:00:00 -0400

On todays episode me & my friend discuss this debatable topic. Mainly because it recently popped up on my IG feed from Cam Newtons Funky Friday podcast. It’s not a recent episode but it’s a conversation that never seems to die. So we decided to chat it up.

4/1/26 - it’s April Fools’ Day but not as I know it

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Its been 3 years since the girls mom passed away. Theres been ups and downs, twist & turns, but they’re each surviving in their own way. As for me I’m just reflecting on this past year and how I need to move past this date for myself. It’s April Fools’ Day and I want to treat it as such.

k bye!

3/31/26 - Testing of the guest variety

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0400

This is totally unscripted. Going forward there will be a topic of conversation. Like anything new you have to work out the kinks. K bye!

3/27/26 - 76 days and counting of being unemployed

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Hello and yes it’s been 76 days. Time flies when you’re trying to figure out what’s next. Don’t worry I’m good, not stressing, but I’m perfectly aware I can’t stay stuck. Unemployment benefits isn’t a long term solution. Y’all stay safe! K bye.

3/26/26 - Racism, Judgement, Women, etc…

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0400

3/11/26 - the Universe says it’s reset time

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 19:00:00 -0400

I’m a firm believer the universe is always at work. It sees everything and will throw you that curve ball when it sees fit. Once again that curve ball has been thrown my way. Now I just need to figure out what it means and where I go from here. Time to reset.

2/4/26 - I didn’t follow my own advice

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0500

Don’t be like me. I preached to the 22 yr old about in life there are always those “ what ifs “. I failed to realize I was setting myself up for one I clearly wasn’t prepared for. Have a listen ( or not ) and again Don’t Be Like Me. Be prepared for those moments.

1/26/26 - Keith Porter Jr ( say his name )

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:00:00 -0500

This episode is about bringing to light what most haven’t heard. It’s about doing your own due diligence and not sitting back letting others ( you know ) do it for YOU. I’m not a sit back type gurl by any means in life. Give a listen and I’m also including a link, doing the work for you. You’re welcome!

I wanted to do a full episode but I can’t get all my thoughts together. Here’s a short ( 6:46 min ) voice message response to a friend I was texting with about what happened. It’s raw and it’s me as I always am speaking how I see things. All the videos show the TRUTH, but they want you to believe otherwise.

1/9/26 - Mental Health and the Kid

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 17:00:00 -0500

It’s day 9 into the New Year and so much stuff has and is happening. October I was laid off, then the holidays and lastly the ball dropped into the New Year. Within that timeframe I was dealing with the Kid and her mental health. Have a listen but more importantly make sure to also take care of yourself physically & mentally.

01/01/26 - Happy New Year ( I should be sleep )

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

This is episode 1 for 2026 and it’s so unscripted. Basically all my episodes are not scripted but this one for sure wasn’t. Had a Jell-O shot that overstayed its welcome in my fridge. Well that was my fault and my eye lids are heavy. Lol!! Enjoy or not, because I’m now going to sleep. Night y’all! Lol!

11/5/25 - I got laid off

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 13:00:00 -0500

Yup, imma bout to join the rest of those that are unemployed. It’s not a good place to be in but it’s out of my control. As I always say “ it is what it is “. The universe ignored me this time so we got beef ( lol ) or maybe there’s another plan for me…idk. So here’s a little life is life’ ig update for y’all. Imma be ok! K bye!!

10/4/25 - How did we get to zip tying young children?

Sat, 04 Oct 2025 18:00:00 -0400

How did we get here? I know how, but do you? Also, do you care that little children are being zip tied, standing in the dead of night and damn near naked? You cannot fluff over what is happening and if you do You Too Are The Problem.

7/31/25 - Death…we can’t live forever

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 20:00:00 -0400

I had a death in my family last week. So I’m still processing and going thru many emotions. Mainly, sadness and anger but the latter is not about his death. The one thing I want you to take away is stop ignoring the feeling of I need to call or see said person you’re thinking of. Just do it! Once again I wish I had. Rest in peace Uncle Don ❤️

7/10/25 - Liberia, English, ICE deportation, etc…

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 14:00:00 -0400

No Kings Day was massive, peaceful and what we all needed. Sure there were some dusty ups, but nothing compared to all that attend around the world. Yesterday is what Democracy looks like and I’m glad I participated. There’s no going back now America. Stay the course!

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 14:00:00 -0400

It’s been one year which I’m sure to those affected feels like a lifetime. I can’t speak on what I don’t know enough about, but we need to acknowledge and keep it in the forefront. May those souls rest in peace and may those being held hostage return home.

One year today:

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 23:00:00 -0400

CNN is losing credibility with me. VP Kamala Harris & Tim Walz had a sit down interview with Dana Bash Thursday night. VP Harris held her own as CNN host Dana Bash tried unsuccessfully to bait her. It’s sad those tactics are being used. If you don’t believe me click the article below.

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:00:00 -0400

This is my first time watching the DNC ever. I did partake in the RNC day one only. The DNC was definitely a vibe. No matter what side of the fence we all need to do our due diligence. Listening to both sides matter. Your vote ( or not ), your choice. Just be conscious of your choice. K bye!

8/15/24 - Tim Walz is the peoples people

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 12:00:00 -0400

This episode is more about why folks continue to drag CB for something he did 15 yrs ago. Yes, it’s been 15 yrs, but y’all still vilifying this dude. The narratives need to stop, because a lot is baseless. There’s one thing I don’t get and that’s how others got a PASS. Correction he was 20 not 17, but he wase a grown ass man like Dr Dre, Terrence Howard, Joe Budden, Nicolas Cage, Mel Gibson, Bobby Brown, etc.

This episode is about the 1 year anniversary of surrogates passing. April 1, 2023 is the day that changed my life as I knew it. I’m speaking specifics of that day and all that transpired in the days, months and year since. It’s a day I know I won’t forgot, but I’m not going to let it hold space moving forward. K bye!

It’s the want vs need battle. Trying to teach the girls to stop spending money on a want. One more so than the other. I’m right now battling a want not a need. But I don’t speed on myself like back in the day. So a want for me happens on a rare occasion. Let’s see how this plays out. K bye!

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 17:00:00 -0500

First let me correct myself cause it’s
ReesaTeesa not RessaTessa…lol!! It’s a story for the books, Tyler Perry, Netflix or Lifetime, but it’s 50 parts I can’t commit too. She hit the jackpot of all jackpots without playing the lottery. Her story is relatable for all those looking for love, marriage and babies. Now I’d say give it a listen, but don’t pass judgement. She’s already done that…..learn from her. We all put on blinders ( men & women ). Remember no one is PERFECT, no one. K bye!

2/10/24 - Reflection

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:00:00 -0500

We are failing our kids. I say we because don’t we say “ It takes a village “? How does a 10 yr old leave her home at 9pm? How does a 23 yr old upon meeting feel it’s ok to sexually assault a child? A Bumble account was made…by whom that hasn’t come out. Dating apps require you be 18+ to open an account. Parents stop being your kids friends and parent. Kids are out here having kids, acting like adults and navigating this world with no guidance. Pray for that child and others like her.

Just more of a circus on the other with the puppet master leading his minions. This is all going to come down to YOU the people choosing right vs wrong and/or good vs evil.

2023 is coming to an end and its been a shit show for a lot of reasons. I did my year end blog post. Started it yesterday and finished it after my workout this afternoon.

Be careful what you ask for, because the universe hears and will deliver. 2023 is going out with a bang and I hope we get on a better playing field come 2024. Christmas should have been a happy occasion for both but it wasn’t. She got a dose of ask and you shall receive. Unfortunately she’ll learn but it’s going to be the hard way. K bye!

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0500

12/4/23 ~ You are not your sisters keeper

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 11:00:00 -0500

The Kid feels she needs to protect her sisters heart from heartbreak ( we ain’t there yet ) and to stop her from experiencing life as a 20 yr old. Mainly, because it’s putting her on the back burner. The Kid has been a caregiver since I’ve known her. She has to release that, because it should have never been her job. They both have life to live and experiences to learn. Buckle up cause y’all on this with me. Lol! K bye!

12/2/23 ~ can you give me words to make me feel better

Sat, 02 Dec 2023 11:00:00 -0500

That’s part of a long text the 20 yr old sent me yesterday. She needed to talk and asked if she could call me. She never has to ask, all she needs to do is call. The call lasted 2hr 27 mins and I think the last hr & 27 mins was all her. She’s fighting a demon ( her mom ) and holding onto trauma. Something I know her, the kid and myself need help with. 2024 we’ll work on that. K bye!

12/1/23 ~ Pick your poison

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 17:00:00 -0500

I say pick your poison, because with all the turmoil that’s happening in and around the world it’s hard. One of my poisons ( cause I have many ) is the NFL. With this new incident it continues to show me no change is being made. I will continue to Stand With Kap and if you continue to feel he’s unpatriotic lawd you’re sadly mistaken. But hey do you, cause I’ll always do me. K bye!

11/25/23 ~ Pandoras Box has reopened

Sat, 25 Nov 2023 17:00:00 -0500

The Cassie vs Diddy lawsuit got y'all splitting lines. Got y’all questioning her motives. Got y’all saying it’s a money grab, but wait y’all silent sorta regarding Diddy. Why? Cassie was 19, Diddy was 37….we not talking about that? Allegedly Misa ( first baby mama ) was 17 when she met Diddy, but had their son at 20 yrs old. Stop vilifying women for the things grown ass men are doing. Sheesh!

11/23/23 ~ Giving Thanks

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 10:00:00 -0500

Today is Thanksgiving day and this episode is all about Thanks.

Thank you, thank you and thank you! You tuning in to listen to my shenanigans is much appreciated!

11/21/23 ~ at the stroke of midnight…..

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 16:00:00 -0500

the Kid will be eighteen. Ballons will arrive in a couple of hours and tomorrow I’ll pickup her birthday cake. Her sister will be home for college break…..cue in the shenanigans. They’ll have much needed sister time ( well especially for the kid lol ). It’s gonna be a good few days. K bye!

11/20/23 ~ She got gifts

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 17:00:00 -0500

So the Kid turns 18 in two days and my supervisor sent her gifts. We all know what it means to get gifts for any occasion, but for the Kid this is new. She’s now part of a family that has traditions and does gifts. There’s no age limit, no cutoffs. So she’s getting excited and I’m excited for her. Bring on the gifts! K bye!!

11/08/23 ~ I gotta go to school?

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0500

Yes ma’am!!!! This child thought a sore throat and no voice ( barely ) meant she can marathon sleep today…..nope. Lol! She went, she’s back and she’ll be ok. I got work….k bye!

11/7/23 ~ Did ya VOTE?????

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0500

It’s Election Day and I hope you rocked the vote. Let’s be clear a non vote is a vote. Laws are changing and rights are being stripped away. If you feel one vote can’t change anything you’re sadly mistaken. But a non vote changes a lot. Let that marinate in your brain. K bye! #govote

11/6/2023 ~ Back to school for the Kid

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 01:00:00 -0500

It’s late, 12:56am and in hours back to school for the Kid. She’s as ready as she’s going to be. She put her bag together, I ironed her shirt & pants and set my alarm for 7am. It’s her senior year and it’s not the start she wanted, but it’s the one she created. Now let me go to bed and get some sleep. Later y’all!

10/25/23 ~ back on my DBP ish

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 17:00:00 -0400

This is EXHAUSTING!!! How many times must I see, hear or witness my own coming for my own? I don’t like repeating anything, but this I will. Y’all keep acting like we’re a united front…..we aren’t. Y’all keep saying let’s support black owned businesses….y'all don’t unless you get a discount or freebie. Why is it so easy to look the other way towards your own but ok for those that DGAFAYBA??? #isaidwhatisaid

10/23/23 ~ Dear women, but specifically Black women

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Look if you don’t know I’m equal opportunity. I come for all but especially my own people. Yeah, y’all not exempt and Black women especially make me wanna scream. Mainly when it comes to our hair. How do you even form outlandish comments regarding natural hair towards children? We still in this natural hair fight and y’all out here leaving comments on anothers hair more specifically beautiful black girls. Stop and look in your mirror because it’s that person causing you pain. Sheesh, y’all exhausting.

10/20/23 ~ I got nothing right? Nope

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 10:00:00 -0400

We’re in senior year and she’s not on course for graduation on paper. So it’s testing time. When you play follow the leader this is what happens. Since I’ve known this child I’ve always stressed stop following others. The result of that is you will either get left behind or have to play catchup. Pray for my sanity, but I won’t let her fall. K bye!

10/20/23 ~ here’s a listen to my Celtic Cross spread

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 11:00:00 -0400

I’m giving you a listen to my Celtic Cross spread by Destiny aka Dez or as I refer to her as babygurl!

This gives me insight into what’s going on in my life, my new normal. Why I feel like I’m being pulling in multiple directions. Why I feel at times I'm not doing my best and just feeling stressed beyond stressed. I knew I was do for a reading and boy was it on point. Enjoy or not. K bye!

10/19/23 ~ Social Media & opinionated folks

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 15:00:00 -0400

Now don’t get it twisted, cause I'm opinionated when it’s relevant. This whole situation I needed to speak on kinda but only because it’s fresh and in my head. Humanity is fickled. We feel the need to mind others business but not our own. We feel it’s our place to place judgement, hold folks in contempt, slander, etc. I know my life barely makes sense to me. So why would I entertain anyone passing judgement? I’m not. Stay in your lane cause mine’s taken .
K bye!

10/17/23 ~ got my cards read and…..

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 18:00:00 -0400

When I say it was on point, it was on point. As you know or maybe you don’t my life is in chaos. Not as much as in the beginning, but I’m still on GO daily. I DM’d my girl because I was overdo for a reading and knew I needed guidance. Hell I also need a therapist, but I’m not there yet. One thing at a time, one thing at a time. Thanks babygurl! 🤎

There’s a conflict happening in Israel and I wish I could talk about it, but I can’t. I can’t because I don’t enough about it and how it came to be.

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Look I was a fan of Jada back in the day of Set it Off and A Different World. But her marriage to Will not so much. Celebrities know how to play to the masses. They show you cute kids, clean aesthetics, glam, exotic trips and mega mansions. All that’s glitz & glam doesn’t make for a happy household or life. K bye!

10/8/23 ~ the Kid getting a boot lesson

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Yes, I had to school the kid on boots. Does she not see all the boots I have? Well she does know I have an Ugg/Doc Marten collection. Don’t judge me, it’s my vice. Lol! Anywho, enjoy this craziness! K bye!

10/6/23 ~ it's Friday let’s gooooooo!

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 19:00:00 -0400

Hello Friday it’s been a while since we last spoke. Lol! Anywho, it’s an mosh pit of updates. A little of this and a little of that. Catching you up on the Kid ( s ) and myself somewhat.

A huge cheers to the weekend, cause I’m tired. Y’all be safe out there!!! K bye!

10/6/23 - it’s the after dark edition

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 01:00:00 -0400

So I’m a night owl! I go to bed super late, but right now I need some sleep. Here I am lying here listening to a dude fussing on his phone with his laundry. Yup, a big bag of laundry.
The million dollar question is does he even live here? Does she live here? Where is an air horn when you need one.
On that note goodnight all and he’s out…nope he’s not! K bye!

9/6/23 ~ Back to School

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Well now ( 9/7 ) it’s officially back to school here on the east coast. Excuse me for posting this late.

Right now it’s after midnight. It’s quiet, barely traffic in these streets and no chatter from the birds. Later after a good nights sleep I’ll hear the kids walking thru the complex. The kid won’t be partaking as of now. She’s still rehabbing that ankle. My hope for her and all the kids returning to school is that they have a productive and safe year. Ok let me get some sleep…..k bye!

I was todays year old when…..

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 11:00:00 -0400

while watching Netflix Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip Hop I found out Dr Dre brutally assaulted Dee Barnes. How he chalked it up to a blemish in his past and gave a half ass apology. We celebrated 50 years of Hip Hop and I bet he was smiling like a Cheshire cat. I’ll say this again if you still feel the need to vilify Breezy you better vilify those before him just the same. Nobody gets a pass, especially not a grownass man. Bye!

Stop traumatizing our Black children

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:00:00 -0400

An article stated the 12 yr old was at the wrong place wrong time. No that’s not correct. He was at the right place but unfortunately the wrong time. When has taking out the trash turned into a whole ass police department swooping down on a 12 yr old? We don’t look the same or fit the description. If that’s true, use it for ALL not for some.

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 11:00:00 -0400

First off before y’all get all twisted…I don’t condone violence. But there are times when violence has to be met with violence. We’ve all heard the phrase Fuck around and find out. What I’m thinking is they thought folks were going to mind their business. They were sadly mistaken. Montgomery you did us Proud. You came to the aid of one of your own. If you’re angry, you’re the problem. Did you not learn to keep your hands to yourself? K bye!

Sun, 30 Jul 2023 17:00:00 -0400

This morning before I started my day I wanted to talk a little about the 20 yr old. She’s not the main character in my new normal, but she is a piece to the puzzle. To say having them both is hard, is an understatement. But we’re making it work.
K bye!

7/6/23 ~ The Accident

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 18:00:00 -0400

Time to catch y’all up on current events aka my life! The kid was hit by a car and thanks to the all mighty above she’s still here. She caught a lesson that didn’t have to happen. I’m just glad she finally sees or understands what I’ve been telling her. No good comes with believing you’re invincible and the streets are your safe haven. Now let’s get through this healing process. K bye!!

Affirmative Action…..what?

Thu, 29 Jun 2023 19:00:00 -0400

Are we not sick and tired of being sick and tired…..yet? What more do they need to do before y’all wake the fuck up? I’m sure their laundry list is long asf, so y’all better buckle up. If you think they’re going to stop at education, you’re sadly mistaken.

We’re almost three months in, but still a long way to go. I got this, even though at times I feel I don’t….but I know I do! Give a listen and I’ll catch ya when I catch ya! K bye!

Not about to battle this Kid

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:00:00 -0400

This child is acting like I’m someone new to the block. I know my role has changed, but me as a person has not. I’m not going to force her to see the good that’s right in her face. She will be 18 come November and I’m only obligated to get her thru high school. After that she can live the life she wants. Do I love her yes, with all my heart, but don’t get me twisted….sistah. K bye!

Why y’all still fat shaming Lizzo??

Sat, 03 Jun 2023 20:00:00 -0400

Word is Lizzo is thinking of quitting music along with making her social media accounts private. I don’t agree with either as it’s caving to the masses, but I get all this constant fat shaming is taking a toll. What needs to be addressed is that it comes from women. With all the stuff women have to battle, why are we still shaming our own counterpart? K bye!

6/1/23 - it’s been two months

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 17:00:00 -0400

It’s been two months and this Saturday will be 3 weeks that the girls relocated upstairs. It’s still a work in progress. My apartment now has two more individuals. Two individuals who lived differently. Two individuals who have a lot to learn.

I’m dealing with that and now boss issues. I literally need time to catch my breath from all the chaos. K bye!

Thu, 11 May 2023 12:00:00 -0400

I recorded this yesterday but forgot to post. That was yesterday and today’s a new day. Last night me and the girls talked about stuff. …..life, school, college, therapy, etc. This new chapter is a lot for all of us, but we have to come together. K bye!

Trigger warning: They didn’t hit me, but wanted too

Sun, 07 May 2023 22:00:00 -0400

This was my Sunday and it wasn’t a funday. The 19 yr old texted me in distress. So I went to check on her & her sister. The biologicals answered the door full on attitude and you can listen to all that transpired. I filed a complaint with the police as a backup going into this week. Keys are to be turned in come Friday! K bye!

Me, the girls and uncharted waters

Wed, 03 May 2023 16:00:00 -0400

Just a little update of sorts of what’s happening with me and the girls. They’re still in their apartment until d-day. That day is 5/12 where they’ll leave the apartment they were raised in. Again, if you take away anything please let it be to get your ducks in a row. Especially if there’s family strife. K bye!

I’ve cried an ocean…….

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 18:00:00 -0400

and then some over this past week. We don’t get to pick our parents or family members. Some hit the jackpot of all jackpots and others like the girls don’t. Last Friday little miss sunshine chose me over those that never cared about her. Actually they didn’t care about their own moms wellbeing. Don’t be that family. Hash things out or just say peace out and don’t look back. K bye!

A little about the girls

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 10:00:00 -0400

To see them you’d never know how their story began. We all have a story good, bad and ugly but it doesn’t have to define who we are. I’m always telling little miss sunshine she can rewrite her story. Also, that she can be a better version of herself. These girls have a tough road ahead, but they have each other and me. Thanks for listening.

Please donate if you can and thanks!

Meaning do you have a Will? Do you have a POA ( power of attorney)? I’m going to get it done and so should you. Surrogate and her late husband didn’t have one and here we are today. They have nothing but each other and no means of financial support and that includes family. It’s a sad state of affairs and I’m doing all I can for them. Get your stuff in order….please.

Here’s a gofundme I setup for the girls. Thanks!

Mass school shootings kill 175 to date

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 17:00:00 -0400

That number represents those who have been killed since Columbine to Nashville Tennessee. That number does not include the perpetrators. Stop shouting about it’s your 2nd Amendment right, because that’s not what this fight is about. Nobody is coming for your guns. We need laws to prevent those with mental health issues to obtain them. We need laws across all states for background checks. Enough with the loopholes, because childrens lives are being cut short.

Jacob Harris: Say his name

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 17:00:00 -0400

He was only 19 yrs old, but he was a son and someones father. He’s another black man killed by police for running away. Video proves that but yet police got off saying they were justified and feared for their lives. Read the article and watch or don’t watch the video. Police brutality must stop. We can’t keep sitting by silently talking about what needs to be done.

Don’t sleep on Five Guys fries

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0400

So I googled Five Guys, because I wanted to know if it was founded by five guys and it actually was. Founded in 1986 ( Arlington VA ) by a husband & wife who had 4 sons at the time. So it was initially run by dad and his 4 sons ( Five Guys ). Two years later they had a fifth son. It’s run by the sons and the parents are still involved. Gotta love a thriving family business. So drop down and get your google on. Lol!

Y’all still going to vilify a man who was physically assaulted on live television for all to see? Where’s the outrage for the assault? There isn’t any because y’all still saying he deserved to be SLAPPED to this day. Black people can assault each other and look the other way. It’s not your business unless that assault was from a non black person then you want justice.

Stop saying you want equal opportunities and pay. Stop saying you want justice for all, not for some. Stop acting like your shit don’t stink, because it actually reeks.

It’s late and I’m tired. Tired from work, but more so tired from all the bad that’s happening in this world. It’s something I don’t like talking about, but I feel I need to whether folks listen or not. So tonight I’m just rambling about a little of this & that for now. K bye!!

Tyre Nichols: more disturbing details

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 20:00:00 -0500

Not only is there video there’s also photos taken by one of the five rogue cops. So beating him to death wasn’t enough. One felt he needed to pull out his personal phone and take pics. Oh but that’s not all. He then sent them to five others, one being a female acquaintance. I’ll leave two links below, because it’s just just much to comprehend. K bye!

Keenan Anderson…Say his name

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 18:00:00 -0500

Keenan Anderson also loss his life at the hands of cops. Just not of the black persuasion as far as I know. This too was a traffic incident. The difference here is he was tased in the back for over 90 seconds.
“Two LAPD officers held him down, one with an elbow on his neck, then a knee dug into his back while he was handcuffed, and another cop stood over him with a Taser gun.”

There’s a 6th officer who’s not FIRED

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 16:00:00 -0500

When I say my blood is boiling, it’s boiling. How many officers were there? Why are we just hearing about this white officer from the initial confrontation? The accountability of all for me is now in question.

Thank you a bunch

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 23:00:00 -0500

Wanted to say thank you for partaking in my podcasting shenanigans. It’s still a learning experience and I’m staying for the ride. Hope you will too! K bye!

We don’t need to watch, but you do.

Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:00:00 -0500

I’m not watching Tyre Nichols being beat to death and hearing a news anchor ( who’s white ) say we all need to watch didn’t sit right with me. Being Black we’ve seen it happen way too many times. We know the repercussions. We know all too well what happens to us at the hands of others. Right now I’m angry, sad and hurt. So, right now I’m projecting…just give me that. K bye!

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

We are hours away from the police bodycam footage release of Tyre Nichols murder. It’s going to happen this evening and the family is asking for CALM. In reality that probably won’t happen, but please prove me wrong. Here’s another article I feel you should read ( link below ). Be safe today..that’s all I can ask! K bye!

Tyre Nichols, Keenan Anderson, etc.

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Say Their Names…all of them until you can’t hear your thoughts. Until all you hear is the chaos and continued brutality that continues to happen on a daily. Take a knee….what not y’all. It was never about the flag. It continues to be about this and other injustices. Click the link

Did I post a face mask pic on a dating site?

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 14:00:00 -0500

I sure did and the responses were surprising. Don’t underestimate men ladies who truly want you in your natural state of being. But again, do what makes you happy and whole. Enjoy this episode, cause yeah I ain’t got no sense. K bye!

I think I need an Only Fans….

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Bwahahahaha! No really, but no not really or should I? Just hear me out and don’t pass judgement ( like I’ll care ). Lol! I’m kidding! K bye

New Year means resolutions or not?

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

I don’t resolutions, planners or set goals. I try to just make changes to better myself. I’m falling back into being my angry self which isn’t a good thing, but it’s what I know. It’s still me against the world but it’s not about to get the best of me. K bye!

Just little ole me

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Heyyy y’all! It’s me you know that person that started a podcast and still trying to get my footing. Anywho, just me catching y’all up on stuff…you know life. K bye!

Got Covid?

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 21:00:00 -0500

Update on me & Covid aka my new bff. Lol! So yeah I caught covid over Christmas. Being I’m boosted my symptoms was like a bad cold. Now it’s just a waiting game of it running its course and me finally testing negative ( hopefully soon ). K bye!

Got y’all panties in a bunch over what?

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 17:00:00 -0500

When did we put a monopoly on products others outside of our race can’t buy or promote? Why do we feel the need to get angry because another likes a product we created? Why can’t we as a people have an open dialogue if we feel said others are trying to move in? We have to coexist and with that we need to have conversations and learn. Not everyone is out to hurt or take what we deem as OURS.

K byeeeee 2022

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 18:00:00 -0500

This is a year end of sorts kinda! Truth be told 2022 was like 2020 for me. It sucked big time and I have no fond memories. Que sera sera!!! Let’s all try to be better humans to each other and this planet. We only have one life. Live it to the fullest!!

Happy New Year to you all! K bye!

Be kind to everyone, here’s why

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 18:00:00 -0500

This is about me & my former bowling partner. Yes, I bowled in a league once. Lol! I also mention why I feel you need to be kind and speak to everyone. I also acknowledge homeless people. They too are human. K bye!

No year end recap

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0500

I will not be doing a year end recap and you’ll hear why. We’re just days away from saying good bye to 2022. Have you created a vision board, written down your New Year’s resolutions and/or set goals? Whatever your plans I wish you all the best! Let the countdown begin…..

F%#k Mental Illness

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0500

Death is hard to hear, but especially when it’s someone you know. Whether personally or from afar. tWitch danced his way into our hearts on SYTYCD. To hear of his passing was like a gut punch. Suicide is an unexpected reality for those going thru some form of mental illness. We as a people need to be mindful, caring and in tuned to others. Rest in Peace tWitch

Be careful what you speak into existence

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 16:00:00 -0500

You would probably ask do I regret saying what I said out loud. That answer is no, because I rarely take back anything I say. I’m guessing the universe could’ve put an expiration date on it. Lol!
Happy birthday Jimmy to the sky! ❤️

The Hate we Give

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Brittney Griner is FREE and there’s nothing but backlash and negativity around it. You have to weed thru all the hate to find the good in this. I’m sure most weren’t even following her imprisonment, yet you have alot to say. What’s sadder is it’s coming from all sides ( black & white ). This episode is as raw as it gets because I’m drained from reading all the negativity. K bye!

Story time: about last night….

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:00:00 -0500

So last night was very interesting. You have to listen, because it’s something in this climate we shouldn’t be doing. Let me just say….be conscious when you call your goon squad. Your actions can have detrimental consequences and luckily that didn’t happen last night.

28 days to go

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 11:00:00 -0500

So it’s 28 days ( and episode 28 ) until 2023…..got any goals, resolutions or just gonna go with the flow? I hoping to be out more, see people, get my camera out & shoot and just be present. I’m not setting any expectations. I’m just going to do me and I hope you do the same. K bye!

Surrogate update

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 22:00:00 -0500

Here’s a little update on surrogate and little miss sunshine. Our dynamic has changed but I don’t think they’re really aware. The kid is now seventeen. Do I miss interacting with her yes, but I can’t keep fighting a losing battle. She has to come around on her own. Stay tuned…surrogate has something to tell me 2moro. K bye!

Link in bio, share, subscribe….

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0500

Today or maybe a week ago it finally made sense why YouTubers were always saying share, subscribe and hit that notification bell. I’m now becoming that person while attempting to podcast. Bottom line is if we don’t say it, you probably won’t partake. The latter is where I am and at times it’s bothersome to be honest. Anywho, if you’re listening…..thanks! K bye!

Black Friday was never about shopping

Sat, 26 Nov 2022 20:00:00 -0500

Quit my podcast?

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0500

No I’m not about to quit, but I have thought about. In life we want things to happen immediately. We want to be see, want to be heard and when it doesn’t happen ( for some ) we bounce. Right now that’s where I am. It’s a do I stay, do I go kinda thing. For now I’m staying. K bye!

How does one go Viral?

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 17:00:00 -0500

I’m constantly wondering how do people go viral. How do you hit that sweet spot as they say? I’m guessing there’s a formula or playbook of sorts. Or maybe just pure luck.

Rest in peace Shanquella Robinson!

47 days……..

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 14:00:00 -0500

That’s right y’all. In 47 days we’ll be in 2023. Sheesh! This year was a slow crawl until recently when it’s now speeding thru. So I guess it’s almost time to reflect on 2022. You know the good, bad & ugly of it all. I think I have more bad & ugly than good, but hey I’m here. 2023 is coming fast and I guess I better think long and hard what next year will mean for me. K bye!

It’s the Disrespect for me

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 17:00:00 -0500

The time has come…actually it’s way overdue, but I’m cutting the kid and her momma off. Surrogate doesn’t know yet, but I’ll drop that on her when she returns home. In my heart of hearts it should’ve happened awhile ago, but I couldn’t. This five weeks has shown me they won’t change. I cannot continue giving my all to a family not willing to make changes. My health is taking a beating and I’m not about to make myself sick.

Me, a cop and an illegal turn

Sat, 05 Nov 2022 18:00:00 -0400

Just listen to the episode. Lol! But would I do it again? I’ll answer that towards the end. Y’all know it’s always something with me. K bye!

Side note: he was fine!!!

Got Twitter?

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 17:00:00 -0400

We all know the Twitter we knew is basically no more, but you gotta checkout Chief Twits account. It’s the stuff of comedy…kinda. Not sure how bad Twitter is going to get, but just peep his feed. Don’t linger there too long tho! Lol!

I’m baaccckkk!

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 18:00:00 -0400

Didn’t mean to disappear and not put out an episode or two, but this thing called Life took a hold. I had a lot of stuff hitting me from all corners and doing a podcast wasn’t on the to do list. So I’m back for now , but bear with me. I’m still doing temporary parent duties while surrogate is on the mend.

Y’all better come get this teen

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0400

So little miss sunshine is playing with the wrong one aka me. I’m not about it and I really don’t want to pull surrogate into this. Especially since she’s in rehab getting herself better. All I know is this child better get it together. K bye!

November is coming, you voting?

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 13:00:00 -0400

It’s midterm election time and I don’t want to hear no excuses. Get your lazy asses up and out to VOTE like your life depends on it. In actuality it does. We are living in uncertain times and this can’t continue. Vote with a purpose. If not for yourself, for the future generations. Gonna add some links to check out. K bye!

This episode is the latest update on gym dudes 1 & 2. He thought he was gonna catch ya gurl slippin. Not today satan, not today. Lol! Oh and don’t come for me telling a little black lie, cause we all do it. Mine was harmless, but I did see his soul leave his body. This is my Friday wrap up….enjoy. K bye!

Am I really getting sleep?

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0400

So lately I’ve been paying attention when alerts pop up regarding my sleep. So I went into the Health app to see just how much sleep I’m getting. So this is me talking out loud as I’m reading the specs. How much sleep are y’all getting?

Apple got all my money

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 22:00:00 -0400

So this weekend I did a thing. That thing was purchasing a new MacBook Air and she’s a beauty. That’s cause she’s blackity, black, black. Lol! Apple got me for everything, just like Target. Oh and don’t act like y’all don’t know how Target do. Lol!

K bye!

I’m not about to parent an ADULT

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0400

I had a whole other episode I wanted to do, but here I am talking about surrogate, the teens and her ratchet ass grown daughter who she keeps saying is the good daughter. But that’s a whole other episode or two that I will not get into. My parenting duties will resume soon for another week of As my week turns: the teenager addition.
K bye!!

I need how to parent a teenager for dummies

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0400

First off happy Friday and what took so long? Lol! So, I made it thru this week of having little miss sunshine under my roof. The universe is testing my patience which it knows I have NONE. Yesterday said child damn bear had me jump in my car to look for her. Y’all better pray for her. K bye!

Yo universe, I need a break!!!!

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 23:00:00 -0400

Todays episode is about surrogate and how my patience is wearing thin. Right now she’s at a rehab location for about 3weeks. Tomorrow I’m the designated person to take her clothes. Oh there’s so much I want to say, but I’ll leave it at that.

Showing my car some love today….

Sat, 08 Oct 2022 22:00:00 -0400

Today was a car care day. First was my service appointment which went off with no major concerns. Woo hoo! But the car wash was another story which including me sending an email. Y’all know me. Lol!

Gym dude(s) update

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0400

I broke gym dude #1 heart….I think. Lol! Not intentionally, but it happened. Oh and I thought gym dude #2 had exited left. Well not as of last weekend. Lol! How they skip over those women showing skin? I’m just little ole me minding my business. Lol!

That child has my heart

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 23:00:00 -0400

It’s been a rough couple of days. Surrogate hasn’t been doing well for a while and it took a toll. She’s a little better and I’m glad if that. So here’s just a little of what I’ve been going thru this week.

Weekend recap of sorts

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0400

Sunday is almost over for most of us. So here’s a little random ish about my non eventful weekend, but it’s always that way. Lol! Fall has definitely set in and I’m thinking we’re in for a cold cold winter. Right now it’s sweater weather, so I’ll enjoy it for now. K bye!

Beamers y’all don’t own the road

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:00:00 -0400

Ok if you own a Beamer don’t get your undies in a bunch, but if you do you’re one of them. Lol! Now don’t get me wrong folks are driving faster than ever period, but for the longest it’s always been beamers. Sorry but not really. It’s all love so don’t come for me. Just stay off my ass and out my lane. Drive safe out there!

Has Cuffing season begun?

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 17:00:00 -0400

Looks like folks are looking for Cuffing partners. Lol! I’m not the one, so kindly exit left. Now y’all know your girl gotta song titled Cuff it. I had to look up the lyrics to see if if had anything to do with Cuffing. Look y’all do you, cause it’s already feeling chilly/cold here. I’ll just wait for 10/15 when the complex flips the heat switch. Lol!

The NFL is still a no for me

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0400

If you really know me you know I love football. It’s the one sport I watched consistently. Then came Colin Kaepernik and for me things changed. So hear me out, because it has more to do with social injustices, the lack of black head coaches, mental health, DV and drug/alcohol addictions.
