In my young adult years, I had a hard time being seen for who I was.
I was always identified by where I grew up, whose sister I was or who I hung out with. Although I loved those aspects of myself, I was more.
As years went on, I had to make choices for my happiness. Choices often opposite of what I thought was expected of me. That meant becoming vulnerable to change and criticism.
That shift came with a yearning to experience more of what life had to offer. I began to look outside the walls put in place by others and myself to live a life God wanted me to live.
I began to capture these experiences in my writing. This became a way for me to purge, process and heal.
This blog is that journey and it continues. A journey full of love, tears, pride and lots of laughs.
Thanks for joining me.
Hip Hop - a Keeper of History
Recently, I watched “Fight the Power: How Hip-Hop changed the World”, a 4-part documentary produced by Chuck D., member of the legendary rap group Public Enemy. I found the documentary by accident scrolling through television channels. I was captivated. I love music and history. This was an event that used both to remind some and educate many on the social context the genre of Hip-Hop was birthed out of.
