37, The Year of Yes
37 was the year of “enthusiastic yes” (shout out to Pleasure Activism) But – How did we get there? Because to know me is to know that my favorite word and sentence is: “No”.

Yeah Yeah, I’m here.
Did I need two months to recover from one of the most intensive campaigns I’ve ever been a part of in my life? Yes. I probably need more but the world doesn’t stop spinning just because you did a great job. Now; back to reality and to making room for all of my passion projects.…

Putting the Personal in Development
There were no words. Until there are a lot of them. There were no words. Until it’s a rant so we can catch up. I’ve been ascribing to the tenant “Do I really need to say this?” for a few years now but there was a moment last year that silence bloomed in me in…

Day 3.
Unpolished rumination on Saturnians, particularly Capricorn placements. I’m not an astrologer – I just hold up the 2 things that I know up to the light and find myself where personal development intersects. ….. Thinking about what it means to have Saturn placements. Truly. And I’m not a chart reader or super experienced in any…

Twitch Alternative Thoughts: Update
Over the past two weeks, I’ve gotten lots of questions from my fellow content creators and twitter followers about the “whys” of the Twitch: Alternate Thoughts post so here are some answers: Q: Why are you talking shit about Twitch? You’re an affiliate, you can get into trouble. A: I’ll do what I want. Also,…

Reclaiming our Worth
Who are you when you’re not defined by your work? How do you feel about yourself when you do not have the external validation of being a “provider”? How do you even begin to process these questions when society is designed to only celebrate money and status as success? When you sit still and unravel…

BC // Day 3: Love is Worship
Love is the ultimate worship – first, the discovery of by seeing others, the finding of self through others, the exaltation of self as the greatest love and then the actual real work; loving outside of yourself.

You don’t hate tiktok, you hate change and other stories
It’s been really interesting to sit on a platform of “revolutionaries” and free thinkers, folks who if you let them tell it – were crucial in shaping the culture of Twitter and social movements – hate TikTok. TikTok is the future. Sounds corny and maybe it is, but I see the vision and I feel…

Ism or Not?
Another week, another larger non-black streamer is in “trouble” for saying the n word. Who it is doesn’t matter to the conversation, mainly because it is largely and by far an offense that has zero consequence. Let’s be honest – a white e-sports organization with mostly white men at the helm (in front and behind…

Perceptions of Beauty
I’m average. I’m smart, (I’d like to think) witty, funny and I have varied interests but I’ve never been nor will I ever be beautiful. I don’t consider myself ugly, I just know that I’m never going to turn heads with my looks and that’s okay. When I was younger and going through the angst…

No Reason to Reject the Ordinary
As an writer I’ve always hoped for a grander life, so that after I’d passed my prime or relevance, I could write a shocking, interesting memoir and be that cool old lady who had seen the world. Unfortunately, my life has been relatively average in most respects and average is what doesn’t get written about.…

Slight Pepper Please
Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/ring-of-fire/ As a Caribbean girl; spicy food is a way of life. It’s so common that I sometimes forget that it’s not “home food” for the entire populous of the U.S. With that said; I have Public Service Announcement. Spicy =/= Seasoned Since seasonings don’t end with a salt and pepper shaker in my household,…

Wanderlust
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/the-wanderer/ My love for travel is second only to water; my Mother worked at the Consulate for our Island so I was exposed to the idea of this vast world quite early. It’s always been my dream to visit all of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Not sure what a UNESCO Heritage Site is? Criteria…
