Peaceful Transformation

Alright....my boy has finally got some tracks out on his myspace music page. Check em out. No lyrics yet....they are written...just need to record them in the studio I just put in our house. I am so excited for him. They have got their own band, producer, manager, backup singers......man this thing is rolling now. Their first performance is set for 9/7 and a friend of mine that's in the music industry will be there. He should be so proud of his accomplishments already. I'm just amazed at how dr… Continue

Wow. So I've been in and out. Not saying a whole lot. Been focusing on what I should do with my career now. I lost my job last month. I've been trying to decide if I should stay in corp.

Ok, ok....I've been posting and surfing so much because I'm down for the count y'all. That's what happens when you hit 30. Okay maybe more like closer to 40 lol.

People, I crave to become more connected to this site but I still gotta get some things right. Damn, seems like no matter what generation we're in, being a black woman is hard as hell. I have to make some decisions that are so hard for me to make. Sometimes, I wish I had the heart of a black man who can make a decision and have no regrets. Some of us can too, but maternal instinct is a mother. I had to go away back home to Sumter, South Carolina for a few days. I needed to be around my people. M… Continue

I am a college educated professional who makes close to six figures. I came from welfare and worked hard as hell to get to where I am. I lived as a single parent until my son was 12 and had him involved in all the right programs, spent time with him, taught him that he has value in this world and that his name means he is a Prince. I have researched our family history and found that we are descendants of the Ashante tribe from Ghana. When I look at him, he has the body of an Ashante warrior. I m… Continue
