Let’s face it, we all have that one friend who we KNOW going to be there no matter what. You need a driver to flee the scene? They there. You need an accomplice. They got you. You need an alibi.

Who do they go too when they no longer have the strength...

As a mother, I often wonder if I am doing a good job? Am I being too harsh? Too lenient? Too mean? Too nice?

Her views on me as a mother and ways I can improve at be...

We have all been in a place where our friends who we EXPECT to support, don’t. At least not on social media where it “counts” right? Well, here is a mini booster for those who have asked and “feel a way.”

An all time question over the years has been: Can men and women be JUST "FRIENDS?" I cannot answer this for everyone, I used to not think so, however when you are the "friend" that way of thinking quickly changes. Today we are discussing the 2 monumental moments in my life, that altered my friendships with these men, and what I learned about myself in the process. The 1st taught me boundaries, and...

This week has been rough. We lost a legend, a hero, a true man of God, Chadwick Boseman who fulfilled his purpose as he was anointed too.  Chadwick Boseman, did just as Malcolm X stated, "By Any Means Necessary."

Therapy is one of those taboo topics, but it is also a topic that needs to be addressed, especially within the black community. I am an advocate for seeking professional help. Just because you seek professional help, doesn't make you psychotic. Wanting to help yourself by any means, includes your mental psyche, just as much as your emotional/physical/spiritual. How can we change the negative perce...
