There’s some lyric that goes “I need some ‘real good loving, because I’m troubled by the things that I see…” In times like these, when my people are being slain in the streets. When I fear for the safety of my brothers, father, cousins, friends, and significant other When our freedom isn’t lookingContinueContinue reading “Love On”

Control
If you never learn anything else from my writing, please remember this: You can not control anyone but you This is so important because countless amounts of times, I have experienced this feeling of having the capacity to change someone or alter what they do or think. It’s unrealistic. If you are having issues facingContinueContinue reading “Control”
All In Your Feelings
Perhaps just as love, peace and light are normal and natural, maybe…just maybe, so are the ugly feelings. Anger, jealousy, sadness, and darkness. Is it too much to believe that these dark feelings come just as easily as happiness, love, and light, if not easier? Just embrace it so that we can eventually balance it.ContinueContinue reading “All In Your Feelings”
Entitlement & Self Awareness
Shout out to the people that understand that no one owes them anything. Somewhere down the line we took on this ugly mind set in which we feel entitled. And not even the dope entitlement that Nas taught us about with the world being ours. It’s the spoiled brat But-I-Want-It kind of entitlement. The I-Didn’t-Want-It-Until-I-Saw-YoursContinueContinue reading “Entitlement & Self Awareness”
Note To Self: Part One
You are so beyond worthy of the life you want for yourself.

Life has a way of setting us up for success.ContinueContinue reading “Note To Self: Part One”
You’re The Only Ten I See
I ventured into Tennessee again recently. This time I experienced Laurel Falls. HOLY shit was it magnificent. I was able to climb some rocks near the falls and meditate. I took a few deep breaths to fill my lungs with the pure air. I wanted to be one with the earth. I closed my eyesContinueContinue reading “You’re The Only Ten I See”
Unapologetic
We must stop giving in to the pressure of society. This includes media, friends, family, coworkers, etc. What YOU decide to do with YOUR life is only YOUR business. Make YOUR own rules. Make YOUR own traditions. Form YOUR own opinions and theories. YOU don’t want to wake up one day in realization that YOUContinueContinue reading “Unapologetic”
New Year, New Me
It’s so important to exercise and “eat right”. That’s what I’ve been seeing lately- People waist training and eating clean. That’s wonderful and I commend them all on their results. Results- the effect from a certain cause. Within weeks we begin to notice progress in our human bodies as we commit to the gym and theContinueContinue reading “New Year, New Me”
A Woman’s Worth
Why do so many women believe that the only power that we possess lies between our legs? Far too many times have I heard women say, “Don’t give it all away upfront. If you do, there’s nothing left to keep him wanting you.” (Cue the 90-Day Rule and Celibacy pact with the lord) Wait, what?!ContinueContinue reading “A Woman’s Worth”
Arms Wide Open
There’s been a shift in this perception of reality. When you’re aware of the here and now, it’s easy to sense that shift. It’s easy to notice and prepare for a full moon and to know what it brings to your life. We grow right before our very own eyes. Although change can be unnerving,ContinueContinue reading “Arms Wide Open”
