What divides us is an illusion. But what’s killing us, is as real as it gets.💔

This is a quote at the back of my second novel. It is how I feel about anything and everything and no matter the argument, I always come back to this. 🎯

“It is always my belief that until we learn to care for each other as a species, as human beings first; wars will be waged that needn’t be, children will die that shouldn’t and people will suffer that never had to in the first place.” 😢🏳

I’ve been extremely distraught the past couple of days with everything happening in the Middle East. It triggered my own past trauma of a lived experience with the July 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. It pains me, what is unfolding. It impacted my mental health today, for sure, with a heaviness…a sadness. It was hard carrying on, yet if anything, this is every reason why we can’t stop. I must continue to help heal our communities in whatever opportunity afforded me.

Thank you to every person who takes the time to support our efforts. I cannot begin to express my appreciation.

In fact, if we’re standing before God, will we be praised for our standards of humanity, care and dignity? Not just for ourselves, but that of others?

What is faith? If not for a belief that all will be provided. So, stop thinking that helping others is going to cause us to lose, rather we win—together.

Have faith. Have compassion. Have understanding. Be a light in a very dark world.

❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨

Hello ☺️

16/04/2023

As I’ve been learning more about my ancestors, I’m so impressed by their abilities, tenacity and contribution to society.

Personally, it’s inspiring to know that as much as I’m not descended from perfection, it doesn’t mean I’m not descended from greatness! In a journey to honor all those parts of me, I look forward to sharing more about the discoveries I’ve made and I’d like to encourage others to look more into your own lineage. I’ve been empowered by what I’m learning with mine. ❤️❤️❤️

Raising awareness (and hope) one story at a time, I'm proud to be part of 'The Hope Edition' of AwareNow Magazine. Join me and Awareness Ties (Awareness Ties]) in sharing this gift of hope: https://awarenow.us/magazine/hope

In this month’s contribution, I discuss my experience with homelessness at the age of 14, failed emotional intelligence as parents and the fact that each night tens of thousands of youth experience homelessness. I hope to inspire youth to have faith that they can get through it and more importantly, I hope to give pause to parents who think “tough love” is the best answer to some of our most critical moments.

Thank you Awareness Ties] for giving me opportunity to shine a light on this issue.

❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️

We are a world in crisis, and being a person who wants to make the world a better place can feel like such a daunting and overwhelming task. But you don’t have to focus on the whole world.

It’s our job to keep our children safe. And our government and their personal motivations and limiting belief systems have repeatedly failed them.

They continue to. And by “them” I don’t mean Republicans or Democrats….I mean any person who has been bought into the idea that this is okay. Our children are simply collateral damage. In other developed countries, these things don’t really happen and yet, here we are….

Again…and again…because protecting us is less of a priority as long as they get their votes and pledges. We are sellouts as a country and that is why we keep experiencing the most heartbreaking tragedies.

And because of that…this won’t likely be the last.

I hate this part right here. The part where once the news dies and others have moved on, these people will have to find to way to keep going. They will have to try and find healing and answers to questions we’ll never be able to answer. Why?

I pray for them all and I pray for our children that never deserved this. 💔💔💔💔

It’s another month and hot off the press with AwareNow Magazine and this month, instead of writing my piece, I shared our recent episode of UNSUGARCOATED with Aalia. This month, with the focus being on Mental Health, I chose to use the conversation I had with writer, actress, and director, Sunnie McFadden-Curtis. We spoke about separation and divorce, and what trusting the process looks like when going through such a challenging time.

Thank you and for all you do to create impact and awareness on critical social causes! It’s an honor to collaborate! ❤️

Late nights on the French Riviera…

Let’s just be clear about one thing, my beautiful friend…

You’ve always been good enough.🌹
You’ll always be good enough.💎
And no one else has ever had the power to change that.✨

Now please go tell yourself that in the mirror. 🪞

This first pic is from this weekend while on set for a project I’m producing with the help of some incredible people. Ironically enough, the cell was not part of my project but it still made me think…of how far I’ve come…and how far I’m still going! ✨💎

I couldn’t help but take this moment to get a photo with a very intentional prop—Maya Angelou’s, “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.”

I’ve become bold enough to let the world I made a few mistakes in my life to inspire others and I’ve shared over 25 years ago I learned what it felt like to have your freedom taken away. But, for a bad that a good doesn’t come…and it was then that I read her story and it offered a young broken girl hope!

And from that place, I rose! And guess what??

I’m still rising…with every challenge that has come since and continue to be faced with…I rise.

I’m grateful that now I get to show the world in a greater way what resilience, courage and healing looks like!

Thank you to the people part of this process and I just want you to know how much I appreciate you! ❤️❤️❤️

I have to post this because it was wonderful to have this experience yesterday with so many amazing friends! I was exhausted when I made this last night but I am eternally grateful for such amazing people and friends in my life!

Thank you for this. ❤️

I was largely raised without a mother’s or a father’s care. Past 14, I was on my own. I suffered. I cried. I questioned so many times, why me?

But even in my darkest moments, I found a way out of my pain and kept it moving. I’m doing that to this day. I won’t sit and complain about my past, knowing that my story empower others like me.

I’m grateful to be loving the life I live. I’m humbled in recognizing the power we have as beings of energy and I appreciate every person that is part of this journey.

To any woman out there that didn’t have the mother you needed…just focus on being the woman YOU want to be.

Everything else will fall into place. ✨

I won’t stop.
I can’t stop.
Neither should you. 💎💎💎

As I covered the LA Art Show this weekend on behalf of I was happy to see familiar faces and meet new ones. I heard more incredible stories of how the space continues to empower artists. It’s interesting to see the response to it, which isn’t all positive, btw, as traditional artists begin to understand the concept.

Regardless, it was an amazing time all around and as always, I’m happy to share my experiences with the world. My article will be coming out soon and I’ll be sure to share! ✨❤️

I’m always happy to be around amazing people and thankful for their time and energy!
