XI:XXX:XIX

 

One year ago today, I was sitting outside in a folding chair nervous as hell to be around a new group of people I'd never met, his family and friends. Surrounded by rival Alabama & Auburn fans, 65+ in. TV, loud speakers, hot fresh meat on the grill and an endless supply of alcohol. It was my first date. He had been pursuing me for several months prior. I waved off his attention and pursuit of me as a childhood-crush type of thing that would wear off in a few days. I however, with the push from close friends, reluctantly accepted the invitation and gave him my answer after about a week.

Christmas Movies List with Black Leads

 

After the year we've all had, the holidays were all love are nearing. Yay! I complied a list of all the Christmas movies with Black leads that I could find! 

Let's spread more laughs, more smiles, more love, and more cheer to get us through the end of this year and into a new (2021). 

One Hell of a Year!

Twenty- twenty has been a traumatic year for the entire world. Lives lost due to the COVID-19 outbreak, jobs furloughed, police brutality/murders, down to the election of the 46th President of the United States. 

We Have A Dream.....One Fueled By Dr. King

In 1968, he had a Dream! 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., had a dream that African American people would be afforded the same rights, privileges, and justice as the rest of mankind. However;

"....One hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition." ~MLK Jr. 

Dear Montbello High,

To you, 

When we met I had no inkling the impact you would have on my life. I was completely unaware of the love we would share or how long you would stay in my heart. As a young 25 year old, recent graduate/two-time Alumni of Troy University, (Troy, Alabama), and newly residing resident of Denver, Colorado, I was looking for a new lease on life and a place that would afford me new opportunities. 

Age Ain't Nothing But A Number

According to your age, are you where you feel you should be?

According to your age, have you accomplished everything you set out to accomplish by that predetermined age?

According to your age, are you as emotionally mature as the days you are old?

When we are younger, we all dream of what our lives will be like as we age. We all make mental notes on where will will live, how many kids we will have, visions of that tall, dark, handsome husband tearing up as we walk down the aisle to what we dreamt would be our very own storybook fairytale.
