• This ain’t the time to turn back now.

  

  One time, I found myself driving around Chicago on a mission not my own. As I drove into the city, I found myself both happy and heavy—excited to be back in a place where I felt most comfortable and happy as an adult, yet heavier and sadder as I passed landmarks that I’d not seen…

• Joyous Kwanzaa, Day 2: Kujichagulia

  

  A critical missing piece of my personal puzzle has been understanding and accepting without fear and uncertainty “who I am”. And not only “who I am” but am I being all that I have been created, called, and purposed to be? The excessively outward living that we have always done in this nation—white-ward, heavenward, money-ward,…

  Sometimes. No matter how much you pray and praise and believe, it will still hurt while you’re going through it. And that’s okay. Keep praying. Keep praising. Always believe God. As David said: I would have fainted lest I believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. So we…

• I Just Can’t Give Up Now

• I’m a… SLAVE 4 U

• Don’t Let the Process Punk You

  

  I’m gone keep it all the way 💯. I have been a quitter the entirety of my life. I have known this about myself always, even when other people didn’t see it.
