With both ears plugged and the bass pumping, I am sitting behind my laptop doing some gender analysis while listening to some “Groove Theory” and bopping my head. How do I manage to read a serious document, write and bop at the same time you may ask? The answer is simple: music and dance combinedContinue reading “A song and a head bop remind us….”

The Respect Debate
“Do you respect me?” he asked. “Am I respectful to you”? she asked respectfully? “It is not about whether you are respectful or not. I just know you do not respect me, and that’s the problem I have with you”, he pontificated. She pondered her retort. “Within this context, why should it matter if IContinue reading “The Respect Debate”
TRUTH COMMUNITY
I happened upon a clip of Gabrielle Union talking about how as women or as people as a whole, we go through things – usually that which is “difficult” – and then we look for community to help us through. For example, she highlighted the following questions: Am I a bad mother? Is this justContinue reading “TRUTH COMMUNITY”
ARE WE ONLY AS GOOD AS OUR LAST PERFORMANCE?
Approximately 3 years ago, in the days when we could speak unmasked, I was required to give an impromptu address to a group of around 100. Now, this was nothing major. In fact, it sounds more exquisite and important than it was. It was literally just me responding to something I was asked within context.

PANDEMIC FATIGUE OR NAAH…. PLEASE STEP BACK!!
The sign reads clearly: PLEASE REMAIN SIX FEET APART. Additionally, the store has operated above and beyond to lay feet markers on the floor, in the event that we, the customers, have no concept of what 6 feet look like. Good for us, right?! So, we are all standing in the queue waiting to beContinue reading “PANDEMIC FATIGUE OR NAAH…. PLEASE STEP BACK!!”
MY DISQUIETED STILLNESS
Each time I blog post, I am “led” to do so, one way or another. As it stands now, there are about five pieces stored in my repertoire that I have written over the past three months and have not yet posted, for one reason or the other. Simply put, I have been feeling quiet.Continue reading “MY DISQUIETED STILLNESS”
The Parent Actor: a necessary show.
The Parent Actor: A necessary show. Since she was able to properly formulate a sentence, the routine has always been that she would provide me with either a blow by blow of her day or a synopsis of the main happenings of her time away…. Not much has changed since she was a toddler, exceptContinue reading “The Parent Actor: a necessary show.”
Ashamed of Love!?!
My last two posts have inadvertently been about operating in love in one way or another, and today I feel compelled to extend the conversation, but from a slightly different perspective. Interestingly, “love” has also been the topic of discussion from several perspectives in at least six conversations with six different persons – all unrelated.Continue reading “Ashamed of Love!?!”
A LIVING CHANGE!
“Live your life in a way that suits you, but don’t set out to hurt people. Apologize when you are wrong, And don’t hesitate to walk away from that which doesn’t serve your soul.” Stacey A Palmer, 2021 On this journey called life, we either change or we remain the same. Many have actually saidContinue reading “A LIVING CHANGE!”
The Virtuous Customer/Service?
The week was a hectic one; I hardly had time to scratch my head… not quite that, but you get it. So Saturday rolls around, and I decide that I would not be making any lunch or dinner… too tired for that. Maybe, I could run out and get us something for lunch. I haveContinue reading “The Virtuous Customer/Service?”
