Dear Diary, Yesterday was a big day for me. I guess it would be big day for anyone in the black community that has a negative connotation towards therapy. I almost didn’t make it, because despite what I know – what I feel isn’t always the same. “Do I really need this?” is what I … Continue reading February 26, 2018

Dear Journal, "I'll believe it when I see it" Every single person has heard this saying before and generally are deceived like the rest of the masses into believing it's true.

Dear Diary, Back in 2013, I traveled to the Dominican Republic. This particular trip has a special place in my heart because while there, I visited an orphanage and also went into a neighborhood to see some local families. I knew beforehand that I was going to interact with some residents of the country, so … Continue reading December 1, 2017
