This blog came out of my experiences as a black woman in America and all the trials and trauma, gains and wins, pains and losses I have had along the way. I have realized that I am having an amazing and sometimes awful journey in life and it is important to share it with the world in hopes of learning from others while teaching from my experiences.

As my visitor, you are part of a fantastic community and I can't wait to hear all of your perspectives and ideas. I would love to stay engaged with you, have open and honest dialogue, discuss the tough conversations and just help each other grow!
