One Dark Night
So not too long ago I went out wearing that Leau black romper and had a great time dancing to salsa. I love the summer because we can all let our hair down and enjoy the night without having to wear a coat. Unfortunately, that night I was attacked by a man in an alleged racially motivated incident. Most of the time, police are there to protect you but they aren’t perfect. Subsequently, I started hearing and seeing all kinds of things. I ended up being forced to a hospital where they did not protect me from COVID-19. So now I am recovering and contemplating the fate of this world. Been listening to Solange Knowles “Weary” song from her A Seat at the Table album.
Can you believe something like this would happen in 2021? Have you ever been mistreated like this? And what do you think of the world and our universe today?
Sincerely,

Don’t Forget about Dad
Good morning! I can’t believe it’s mid-June but Father’s Day is coming up and well, don’t forget about Dad! I’ve always been a daddy’s girl and I can’t wait to spend time with my father on Father’s Day. From playing with my dad’s belt (as pictured above) to attending my father’s non-profit Inner City Youth Golfers, Inc. (ICYG) events, I am still my father’s little girl. What are you planning to do for the holiday?
Nordstrom has a great Father’s Day gift guide and some of the items are on sale. I came across some great Luigi Bormioli tumblers that your Dad can use for his favorite drink for only $30 as well as a great Brixton hat that is currently 40% off. Walmart also has some great gifts that include grills, exercise equipment and more. Check out some of the gifts below and enjoy the day!

Blackout Tuesday
I pray for justice for George Floyd and everyone else including myself that has to deal with systematic racism everyday. And I hope that this post makes someone uncomfortable enough to confront their own prejudices against people that don’t look like them. It’s 2020. We as a country should do better.
Sincerely,
