My harrowing escape from a fake competition
When I was out on my Sunday hike yesterday, I had this FUNNY THING happen to me, and I thought to myself... I gotta tell my people this story, because they are sooooo gonna get it!
So here goes.
I'm in the White Mountains of New Hampshire right now, WITHOUT MY FAMILY, settling in for a week of writing (book proposal, ya'll!), and couldn't wait to get out on a solo Sunday hike to kick off my week alone.
I had visions of RUNNING up Mount Willard. Like a gazelle. Or a mountain goat. Or maybe a spring chicken.
My Commitment to Being Antiracist.
I am committed to learning and choosing HOW to be a better ally to the BIPOC community. I am committed to learning how to center and empower Black lives from where I stand and from where I am starting. I am committed to learning from, and amplifying voices of Black women who speak at the intersectionality of race and womanhood.
I. Am. Committed.

When Did Shame Talk Take Root?
Back to school hit me like a ton of bricks! Gals, my daughter (Raisa) started seventh grade this year and it hit me like a ton of bricks!
She body-shamed me, and I'm grateful.
If you've followed me on social media for a while, then you’ve probably heard the story of the woman who body shamed me at my local thrift store.

Last spring I went on a week-long surfing trip to Mexico, and… Wait. I wanna let that half-sentence steep for a second.
