Read more "The Politics of Black Joy"No matter the parents’ gender, sexual orientation, immigration and socioeconomic status at that point on that playground we’re just parents.
Read more "We Are Our Best Selves"I love to talk. I started talking at a relatively young age and I haven’t stopped yet. Therefore, it is no surprise that I am an avid listener of podcasts. The peak started when I was on maternity leave in the midst of the pandemic. Harper was born right before the world shut down. We […]
Read more "20 of My Favorite Pods!"One of the last times I went home to Jamaica, my sister, mother and I had a short wait at the airport upon our arrival.

Read more "Our Story To Tell…"This has been a monumental weekend and it’s not over yet! I don’t even know where to start! The most hype I’ve seen from Joe Biden’s camp since quarantine has been their damage control after Biden’s controversial comments on The Breakfast Club with Charlemagne Da God. There’s always been this assumption that the Democratic Party […]
Read more "“…then you ain’t black!”"It’s amazing how quickly things have changed. In a matter of months we went from shaking hands, hugging, and standing close together to social distancing. I for one coveted the concept of happy hour dates as I waited to give birth. Never in a million years did I think I’d still be waiting for that […]
Read more "Our New Normal"Love. You find out real quick what’s real and what’s not when you’re living that quarantine life. Unfortunately the coronavirus continues to have a large influence on our everyday life. Kids are home from school-many are working from home (IF they’re still gainfully employed) and life as we know it is forever changed. At this […]
