and another year has gone by
I’m getting old. And for the first time I’m truly excited about it. Not because of the age itself but because of what is coming my way.
the past 2-3 years of my life were…a hot ass mess. Yes there were truly beautiful and inspiring moments. But there were also some truly ugly ones.

Actually, the father is a famous poet that has been molested by his son for years, but the father has written a revealing manuscript...

A Powerful must read
“Let me tell you what it feels like to stand in front of a white man and explain privilege to him. It hurts. It makes you tired. Sometimes it makes you want to cry. Sometimes it is exhilarating. Every single time it is hard. Every single time I get angry that I have to do this, that this is my job, and that it shouldn’t be my job. Every single time I am proud...

I’ve decided that by this time next year, I’ll have a song or poem dedicated to every man I’ve ever been with. It’s not so much for them but rather to mark what, if anything, I’ve learned from each experience.

I’m clearly not the only one you’re lying to.

One of my all time faves
