"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." - Oscar Wilde

My season right now is one of peace and reintroducing myself to myself. The smallest things bring me joy and those things are not social media based. Matter fact, quite the contrary. I now only get on here to put up a few posts that I like and to promote my music, books, poetry, gofundme, etc etc. The things that I deserve to get support for.

I try not to stay on too long because I see too much fakeness and too many people who simply aren't working on themselves and blaming everyone else for their iniquities and deficiencies in character. I don't know about you but it's getting old hearing black men saying black women are the problem and black women saying black men are the problem. It's getting old watching people bleed their traumas all over their page and then do nothing to work on them. It's getting old watching charlatans call themselves conscious and woke and don't have a clue what either of those are. It's also getting old watching people getting taken for their money by these same charlatans. And it's already slowly starting to get old to see people bragging and laying claim to be chosen ones when they are nowhere on the list of chosen because they refuse to do the actual work that the real chosen ones do.

What I have started doing is unfriending that energy because I don't deal with it in my personal life so why should I deal with it here. I talk everyday with beautiful, sophisticated, savvy, intellectual black women and they speak highly of Black Men. Everyday I speak with Black Men who deal with Black Women in a very loving and caring manner. In my world nobody is concerned about who's gonna pay, he or she, or five star vs. the cheese cake factory. I only see that type of bs here. In my world just being in one another's presence is what is to be cherished because we are the gift. Not the money, not the ego, not the materialistic bs, but us. These things exist in my world because I create my own reality, I have that power, we all do. So what I will say is, if you find that I have unfriended you, you will probably call me a hater and some other choice words. That's fine, many have mastered the art of deflecting. What I will tell you though is this, after you finish cussing me, go deal with your fkn traumas cause that's why you got unfriended. You don't even have to thank me for the lesson. YK

I’m the “Strong Friend”. Of course I answer the phone with “is everything OK?” because most people only call when they need something 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m closing out from the Up Front Performance Space stage!

Join me and a host of incredible storytellers as we share jokes, tales and knowledge at the final Rudy Would Listen: Stories Behind The Noise (Dec) event.

I’m still accepting birthday drinks too 😉

How many stories do you think are happening all at once right now? The world coping with constant change means your story of struggle, forgiveness, discovery, triumph, gets lost in the noise. If

Dear Sirs,
Please stop complaining about Women that are learning to move from a survival mindset to a thriving mindset. Stop gaslighting Women into thinking there is anything wrong with using their access to travel and culture to better themselves.
You’re only complaining because you want to be in your soft girl era also…
And it shows 💯
