As a Black woman, I’d like to go on record and say “We all are not mad, angry, difficult, mean or any other negative adjective you ascribe to our whole being in your one moment of interaction with us. When you make us mad, we express it. When you make us angry, we express it. … Continue reading A Voice
Jubilee
Hi, I’m Jubilee Jenkins and everyone calls me JJ on account of the fact that my mom seems to think she looks like Florida Evans. You know, from that TV sitcom Good Times. Only reason I know who she is is because we still watch the show on YouTube. I don’t think my mom looks … Continue reading Jubilee
When They Say…
Yesterday was like a punch in the gut to me. When I got home from work, after having picked up the meal I’d dreamt about all day, I learned that Chadwick Boseman had passed. What?!

My Journey, My Story – Part 2

The Year to Believe
I never knew that my One Word for 2020 - Believe - would turn out like this. Sure, I knew it would involve some trust in what God said to me. But what about when things were happening and I didn’t have a Word on ‘that’ but the Word that I did have was birthed … Continue reading The Year to Believe
When He says No – Part 2
