I will start;
Filling my own cup,
Being my own muse,
Knowing my own worth,
Loving my own skin,
Validating my own journey,
Speaking my own truth,
Enjoying my own company,
Extending my own energy,
Creating my own paradise,
Wearing my own crown.

Whenever we excel at everything, which we do, the rules must be changed. What they don’t understand is that’s what we do. We are champions by birth. Ceilings are made for us to overcome them!🥇
I’m sad to report that

has affected my family! My cousin in New Orleans is battling for her life. My family is so small and we would appreciate it if you join us in praying that God lifts her up!🙏🏽

May the wind lift her name up and let it fly through it as high as the clouds and inside every drop of rain before it hits the ground; Kathryn Johnston.🤍
Searching for our humanness
Made us wait to undress
We wanted to explore
Our intellectual core
Meeting of the mind
Respect all the time
Before skin on skin
We went deep within
My audacity has not been confined in my mind
I share bits of me here and there
And those who have “tasted” their share
Know exactly where I’m coming from
My words flow like butterflies
My sweetness drips like honey
For those of you who want to experience more poetry...
I’m sad to report that my little niece Zoey has pneumonia. She has had COVID twice, and may have long COVID, meaning she may suffer the symptoms on and off for years. She hasn’t had to be hospitalized and that’s a great sign! Your prayers are appreciated!🙏🏽
even when no one stepped in to love me, even when the things I loved were taken away, even when I fell and was too afraid to rise again, even when the moon was my only friend, even when, I knew it was not my end, even then.🥀

Our tranquility is not just closing our eyes and hoping for the best. Nor is it by cold showers and deep cleansing breaths. It's a light that grows inside our chest. That flows by alignment to the way. For peace, what will you say…

The lowest, most egregious thing you can do is the disrespect of spitting in someone’s face. It is degrading, and typically the mouth has more germs than urine.

That woman is using her God given melanin-drenched skin and is making mega-paper!
She’s shaking, singing, and playing her thing while some are sitting around waiting for a wedding ring!

May his soul Rest In Peace and his family find the mercy of God’s ease. To bring smiles to the face of others has earned him a special place within the gates!🙏🏽
I am in no rush for accomplishment or to be anything that I'm not in this moment. Right here and right now, it’s okay with me to just slow down and enjoy this day, happily.
For most of my childhood my mom was a single mom. She started a revolution in her bones that I would have the best. She ignited a spark in my soul. She chose me, and never looked back!

My grandmother taught me that in the era of rock n roll many artists assumed the voices that were sung on the radio were white. When the artists would ever appear live everyone was shocked at the appearance!😅

This wiped me out. It’s never really about the colors or even the game called football. It’s about the love for each other and the word; “teammates!” Rest in love Demetrius “Meechie” Walker!🤍🕊️🤍

On March 13th, Jayden Perkins was stabbed in the chest while protecting his mother from her paroled ex-boyfriend. His mother Laterria Smith who is 33-weeks pregnant, is in critical condition.
Rest in peace, Jayden. You are a hero.🕊️
Laughter is good medicine!
I find peace and pleasure in enjoying the offerings of a woman who really touches my heart with her special blend of

for bringing smiles to this weary heart! Your smile made my weekend!🥰
When you speak about yourself, speak with confidence, speak with love, speak to heal, and speak to empower. The most powerful conversations are those we have with ourselves, they’re the words that may become reality.

I see Allah before it,
I see Allah in it, and
I see Allah after it.

My hand makes a grand stand
As my body commands me to write
Sometimes naughty
Sometimes nice
I try to satisfy every appetite
Doing it how I like
Playing with words for a rhyme
Using a lot of my time
Read some of it, you may like the way I fit
In your mind…

The most beautiful thing to me is when someone reaches back years and finds my words that have inspired them, or a poem that they like. I’m so grateful to God to know my gift and being able to use it!🙏🏽
I am black. I was born black. I will die black. This country has an ever increasing need to hide the history of its history. People like Ron DeSantis is making a point of this with the banning of books. Learn as much as you can about our history.
It’s empowering!

Melanin enriched
Full bodied lips
Swaying hips - sun kissed
To meet her is a treat
Your heart will race -
not just beat
Beautiful
Overflow of pride - she never hides
She’ll make you sweat with desire
And stoke your blazing fire
A queen that sits high
More radiant as days go by
Exploring the mind and using it creatively is the best appreciation of your imagination!
My life would be hollow without poetry, music, art, dance, theatre and all things creative!
I am Poetry! ͡°
I visited this tree in South Carolina. It is said to be 1,500 years old. How I would love to spend the day there today. If it could speak to me, I wonder what it would say?
Each gifted man needs a gifted woman to help him to fulfill his objective, destiny and purpose in life. The male and the female should be of one mind in doing the work of God.
Crave a life that’s robust, not materialistic. Where strolls, snuggles, cuddles & tickles have value. A life that respects Earth & mankind. A life where souls speak and touch is magic. A life with one God and He is 1st. Crave a life that’s simple...in beautiful terms.💫
