My Journey to Building a Black Mom Circle of Support

THEY SAY black women are angry. Aggressive. Apathetic. Jaded. I’m here today to correct that stereotype and tell you otherwise. “They” also say necessity is the mother of invention. Now I give credit where credit is due, because “they” got that one right. Three years ago I desperately needed a space to just be. As…

“Will you be my friend? Circle one: yes, no, maybe so.” As children, the friend game was so easy. I remember starting 3rd grade at a new school, in a new city, and during the first week, a classmate I did not know came up to me and said “do you want to be my…

Meghan Markle, Are You Giving Us Some Royal Babies?

Meghan Markle dazzled the world as she became the first American Royalty. No, really. She is the first American, let alone African-American to become legit royalty. (Ohh I hope she starts a hashtag or makes some bumper stickers with her face that say #legitroyalty).

I worried about not being a good mom. Now I give zero fudges!

I worried about not being a good mom. Now I give zero fudges!

New motherhood is my life. As an Obstetrician, I see mothers and fathers in their first dear-in-headlights moments of parenthood. Worrying about your children is every parent’s right and it starts in the womb. Am I eating enough? Am I drinking enough? Am I reaching too high? Am I bending too low? Will the baby be…

Why Can’t We Be Empowered to Have a Seat After Childbirth?

Now I love a bad dress. And a mean pair of heels. I would actually rock both every day if I could. But hours after I give birth? Nah, give me a break. Literally. Actually, give me a seat because I’m tired just looking at Duchess Kate!

Unapologetically Black! 10 Reasons Why I LOVE My HBCU!

Unapologetically Black! 10 Reasons Why I LOVE My HBCU!

 Beyonce’s Coachella 2018 performance was HOT! She brought a historically black experience to a historically white audience. She belted out ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ and had a full marching band in the stands! I was transported back to my own college days and I loved the way she exposed HBCU culture to mainstream America.

Circle of Life: My Grandma Used To Do My Hair, Now I Do Hers

Kitchens. The year was ’88. I sat on that seat by the gas stove in my grandma’s kitchen so she could whip my kitchens. When she pulled out “the comb” from that small drawer next to the silverware and placed it in the fire, I knew my 8-year old life was about to get UPGRADED!
