Happy New Year 2023... The world keeps turning and  Life is all about Transitions... staying on your pivot... remembering to stick and move..

As a result of this way of thinking, I currently find myself on the edge of ever...

When I was younger, and wondering about what would become of Me, I would sometimes have this dream... That one day… I would be loved.. not because of the shape of my lips or the curve of my hips… but for the fullness of my heart and the depth of my intellect..

{the following unedited first-take was inspired by countless encounters with immigrants in America who have convinced themselves that the quickest way to be accepted by whites, is to also hate and abuse American Blacks.  I'm sick of it!} Ok… they made me do it.. didn’t wanna go there.. but…. It’s bigger than me! Let’s talk about Lady Liberty… You know… that famous French Chick in New York. Sh...

This episode in the MimiVerse explores the value of woman's work to Mimi's identity and how she relates to the world. Women are... many things... we bring forth life and we facilitate love... Mourn death, we inspire dreaming...  We're women.. how could we not? And yet... we are not celebrated... as we should be. By others or ourselves... if truth be told.

She flows across continents on a Lavender breeze Converses with locals with elegant ease The raise of an eyebrow tells of wonder or miff Her lyrical smile sings Life’s scales and riffs Yet, what drives her from Home and the star-spangled view Exposed without the blanket of red, white, and blue Possibly freedom to go where she may Able to be just a Woman at play Freed from the bondage of micro-aggr...
