The Wife That William Built
I’m so many days into a sorrow unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Tears burst forth out of nowhere, rage nipping at my heels like an hungry hyena waiting for me to stumble into a briar patch of wrath. Hands shaky and idle all at once, my body jerking forward to complete tasks that my mind […]

The Cheese Stands Alone
When I was little, I used to sing this nursery rhyme called “The farmer in the dell”. In the song, everything gets taken by the thing that came before it…until you get to the end. At the end, we sang: “The cheese stands alone.” The mouse took the cheese, but there’s nothing for the cheese […]

Struggle is real; God is realer to me
I’ve been struggling with so many things these past few weeks. Grief. Depression. Anxiety. Imposter Syndrome. Physical sickness. I could give a long drawn out description of each category, but it basically boils down to the very rooted and very real “what if” that never goes fully away. It has been the epitome of gut […]

Grief. A Reflection.
The number one killer of black people (behind systemic racism): grief. We carry it in our bodies, cancers becoming more aggressive, blood pressure never stabilizing, backs and knees unable to carry the load, hearts giving out. I eat mine. If I don’t get control of my grief and sorrow, I will have diabetes–just like my […]
