I am Black History
I’m starting a Summer Reading Book Club. Suggestions?
I have been putting together a list of books that I want to read as an adult that would be fun and not overly dramatic or too academic. I just want to read something that is straight up interesting for me and will allow me to take my mind off of other things going on…

I needed a Plant Shop – So, I found 50 Black-Owned Plant Shops
Now, y’all know that I usually write my own posts or articles because that’s what I love to do. Recently, I was looking to purchase some plants to make me happy and continue my quest to live as one with nature without having to endure being outside all the time. So, I went online and…
Simone Biles owes you Nothing. Forever.
Watching people post and make comments on Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles for the last few weeks has been very upsetting for me.
