In the fall of 2017, Tyrone and I decided we wanted to get married to each other. Somewhere between October and December, I told my parents, pastors, and close friends. In January 2018, I told my family. After that, there was no turning back for me. Because I went from never having a boyfriend toContinue reading “CAE to CAF: Transition Complete”

CAE to CAF 5: Lyrically Yours
If you’ve ever asked how Tyrone and I met, you know this story. Picture it. East Lansing, MI. Fall. 2006. *dream music* I was invited to come to MSU Gospel Choir’s first rehearsal of the school year.

CAE to CAF 3: Therapist
My best friend has walked with me through so many seasons of my life. He and I met when we were 18 and 17, respectively. We clicked instantly, but I had no idea he’d become such a major part of my life. I remember one time in 2007 we were walking across campus (Go Green!)Continue reading “CAE to CAF 3: Therapist”
Hope Is Painful
…But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. That scripture convicts me to think bigger and increase my willingness to believe in what I haven’t seen. But can we just take aContinue reading “Hope Is Painful”
Our Mother Who Art In Heaven
So the verdict is in, Octavia Spencer is my favorite actor. And yes, I used “actor” on purpose even though she’s a woman. (I’m a proud gramma nazi with an English degree. I know how to use words good. 🙃) Any who, I used a gendered term because it serves my purpose when examining herContinue reading “Our Mother Who Art In Heaven “
You Can Actually Do It All
Who are you? Why are you? What do you do? Why do you do what you do? Answer those. What’d you say for “What do you do?” More than likely you answered with your job.

Dear White Jesus…
Last night, we watched President Barack Obama give his heart-wrenching farewell address in Chicago. Along with many of my Facebook friends, I found myself reminiscing on my college days. The first time I voted for president, I voted for a Black man. Even then I was aware of how big of a deal that was.Continue reading “Dear White Jesus…”
Believe Just Because You Can
I have learned something recently that it so simple that it’s hard to comprehend. If you want to believe in something, just believe. Did you get that? If you want to think something is true then just think it. And when you are convinced that it’s true, you’ll start to act as if you believeContinue reading “Believe Just Because You Can”
