Being alone in believing in your dream. Fighting and pushing so hard. Then one day you see the pieces come together. You hear God remind you that He told you that you weren't crazy for believing (in) Him. I'm breathing for the first time in a long time.

My first U.S cover on Emmy Magazine! . To tell you that I bawled like a baby when I saw that “Faith, Hope, Love”😩 Some know that it’s the tattoo that’s on my collar bone but not many know why.

Seeing as people like to tweet with their chests💀. Yes, I’m 31.No, I’m not married.No, I don’t have children that have come from my uterus but my nieces call me “mam’ncane” (younger mother) because that’s how we do it in the Zulu culture &I love them like their mine. As you were.

The government was shortsighted in their stealing from the people for years. Our keyboard Warriors were shortsighted in their response to the observation of what seemed inevitable. The hungry people seem shortsighted in their looting and burning. There will be dire consequences.

I deleted a previous post as it seems to have offended some. I didn’t know why so I went to someone that I trust & who I knew could give me better insight. Others chose to educate me and it’s out of care and respect for them that I deleted my post.

I am messy. I wear mismatched socks & underwear. I laugh unnecessarily loud when I’m not supposed to & am eerily silent at the most awkward of times. I laugh until tears flow down my face & my stomach hurts. I pull weird & ugly faces because that’s what makes sense to me🤪😌
