There are definitely comments that rile me up more than others, but I’m gonna be honest. I’ve noticed that there’s a direct correlation with how irritated I am with rude comments and how sleepy and hungry I am. I ain’t gonna lie. Most times I just need a snack or a nap and then the comment don’t even bug me anymore. Just post more.

When someone makes the issue about your reaction instead of their action, they’re dodging accountability. Yes, reactions can be explored too, but not as a way to avoid ownership. Accountability first. Repair second.

And before the extreme hypotheticals come up, yes, a violent or harmful reaction also needs to be addressed. But naming your reaction does not erase their original behavior. Both can be processed.

AI isn’t neutral. The tool changed. The intent didn’t. Call it out publicly. Amplify accurate narratives. Educate your circle. Support digital literacy and pressure tech companies.

We sell out everytime. There’s like 10 tickets left.

Yes! I want you to provide yourself with compassion and love because you can’t function without out it. But also remember that self love is accountability as well.

It’s bad enough that you had the audacity to entertain other women before you knew I existed. And THEN you want to add insult to injury by dating someone else just because I’m no longer alive. How dare you sir!

This is a perfect reminder that licenses don’t stop people from causing harm. The original video is by Or at least that used to be her IG name. Pretty sure she blocked me 🤷🏾‍♀️ but hey, that’s always easier than admitting you’re wrong

Stop going on these shows. I’m not saying what was stated wasn’t inappropriate given the intimacy of the topic and especially given the host. So many people want to have their stories heard and also understand the benefit of sharing for others, but in my opinion, there aren’t a ridiculous number of shows that I would trust with any narrative of mine or my family’s. But that’s a lesson that everyone learns. The goal is just not to waste a mistake and I think going on the show was a mistake.

There’s a difference between danger and discomfort.
And if you don’t learn to tell the difference, you’ll stay stuck. Sure, you will keep out pain but also joy, and growth. You can’t escape discomfort your entire life. And you shouldn’t want to. Discomfort is part of growth. It shows up when you’re starting something new, unlearning harmful patterns, speaking up, and even healing

If you avoid discomfort at all costs, you’ll end up avoiding your own evolution

Your nervous system might be reacting to something old, not something real. Triggers are real, but they’re not always proof of threat. And learning to pause, reflect, and respond rather than just react is a core part of healing.

Start with these check-in questions anytime you feel activated:

– Am I reacting to what’s happening now, or something that happened before?
– Is this an actual threat, or just a feeling I don’t want to feel?
– Will leaving keep me safe, or just comfortable?

You deserve peace and progress. Don’t let discomfort steal both.

This was the first week of travel that I have had for 2026. I have not traveled since October of last year. And this is the impact it has had on my body. I got an alert from my basically saying what the heck are you doing this week. You were clearly trying to destroy us.

And this is exactly why I have made it a point to prioritize very specific events this year and travel significantly less. I have already decided that I will be doing one heck of a book tour in 2027. I’m talking about I’m going anywhere where the Black women are which is everywhere. I’m gonna be outside all of 2027. Because of that I am really prioritizing rest and 2026.

This past week I’ve met with at the amazing fellowship that I am a member of which has granted me the financial and emotional and professional support for my research on Black identity development and digital health resources for black youth, and I conducted an amazing workshop with the about becoming student mental health leaders. It was amazing and fulfilling, and it also took a huge toll on my body.

I love what I do and I need to be whole. So this year I will be outside a bit less and honing in on my virtual presence a bit more. Stay tuned
