  • My life with depression and anxiety with knowing what “it” was

My concerns or worries don’t just disappear because it’s the new year. I’m scrolling g through posts. I’m scrolling through Google. Looking for something that says that what I’m feeling or […]

  • “Apologies! Just Seeing This Message Now…”

    I say “sorry” like I drink water or breathe air. I apologize for speaking up. Trust me, I am always been told to stop, even as a child — and even now, I’m unable to stop especially when I genuinely am. Forgive me, but it’s not the same as taking someone else’s apology because it’s […]

  • Black Women Aren’t Angry—They Just Have Something Important To Say

    For far too long, Black women have been characterized as angry, loud and aggressive—especially in the workplace. The stereotype has plagued generations before me and, unfortunately, even my own. Even during a collective move to inclusivity within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ groups, somehow the “angry Black woman” cliché lives on. However, it’s a tale as […]
