Wassup September! I love the beginning of each month. It’s the Creator’s way of reminding us that’s it’s OK to restart, refresh and realign the compassionate path we’re travelling back home to ourselves. In September, we know autumn is all about the ground being covered in glorious shades of red and brown from trees letting […]

What does self love feel like?
How many times do you hear how important it is to love yourself? Do you know how to love yourself and what it feels like? In today’s Sunday serenity, I share simple ways to love yourself along with my experience of what it feels like. In honoring Marcus Garvey’s Birthday this week, I also talk […]

Sunday Serenity: Superpower Sobriety
Racial Sobriety is the superpower that rebuilds our lives from the inside out.
