Thank you. ❤️

To every text, post, call, message, comment, and little piece of love you sent my way today… I felt it.

And if you know me, you already know I’m going to get to every single one because I don’t take being thought of lightly.

Birthdays make me reflective, but today I’m mostly just grateful. Grateful for the people who took a moment out of their own lives to celebrate mine.

And when I blew out my candle, my prayer wasn’t just for me.

I asked that your life be met with the kind of happiness that feels like home. That the things you touch have meaning. That the places you’re headed bring you closer to who you’re meant to be and that somewhere between your prayers and your everyday life, you find the peace, purpose, love and fulfillment your heart has been asking for.

Thank you for adding a little more love to my 43rd year.

I truly felt it. ❤️

43 years later… still becoming, unbecoming, loving, losing, laughing, learning, and somehow still having the audacity to be excited about what’s next.

Happy birthday to me…GRATEFUL ❤️

I really think we were the last little generation to experience a whole different kind of life. 😂 1982 🤪

Being an 80’s baby means I got to know a version of the world that doesn’t exist anymore. 🥹

I felt so pretty today.

and it made me think about how much of our beauty has nothing to do with what we see.

Sometimes something in you just feels good… and somehow, you can see it.

Maybe that’s what happens when you finally start pouring into the parts of yourself nobody else can reach.

If this hits you…you probably know why ❤️

When I turned 40, I cut my hair.

Not because I didn’t love my long hair, but because I finally understood that long and damaged wasn’t a flex. I had to let go of what looked good from the outside when I knew it wasn’t healthy underneath.

And honestly, it was spiritual for me too.

Almost four years later, I look at my hair and I’m proud of it. It’s grown. It’s healthy. It’s soft. It’s beautiful.

But sometimes I look at it and realize I’ve been watching myself grow right along with it.

I’ve asked God throughout this transformation, Keep me growing. Don’t let me harden. Keep my heart soft. Keep me beautiful on the inside and the outside. Keep me pouring out, even when life gives me reasons to hold everything in.

And somehow, my hair became a reminder.

It kept growing. In spite of.

In spite of the cutting.
In spite of the damage.
In spite of the seasons where I didn’t know what was next.In spite of everything that could have made me stop and maybe that’s why I’m so proud of it now.

Because I don’t just see hair.

I see evidence. I see what happens when you’re willing to cut away what is damaged, give yourself time to heal, and keep growing anyway.

I’m almost four years in, and I’m still learning that growth doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes you just look up one day and realize..damn… I really did grow.

Inside and out.

It takes a lot for some people to trust. And honestly, some people just love HARD. It’s innate. They show up, they pour into people, they check on people, they love people they don’t even know like that. That’s just who they are.

The hard part is reciprocation.

If you call somebody your friend, TALK TO THEM. Don’t whisper down the lane. Don’t take something that could’ve been a conversation between two people and make it everybody’s business.

Because how do you expect somebody to come to you with their heartstrings if they don’t feel safe with you?

People are suffering in silence because they’re connected to people who are judgmental, always right, and never communicate directly.

And that’s how things get misconstrued.

Trust. Loyalty. Respect. Communication.

Those things matter.

Nobody needs a perfect friend. Just be a REAL one.

Be the friend you need.

Sometimes healing starts with learning how to love people better. ❤️

Be who you would need. 🙏🏽

They’ve been asking for a reunion show…11 years ago, I wrote my original Enemy in the Mirror… not just as a play, but as a mirror.

For the ones suffering in silence.
For the ones loving someone and not realizing what they’re carrying.

Because the truth is…what people don’t say out loud is real. The thoughts. The battles. The weight.

The original one is my favorite because I handpicked that cast with intention… God knew why. Trauma is real, even when it’s hidden well.

We used the stage to speak on what many avoid, mental health, identity, and the impact of colorism in our community.

Because while some grow up affirmed…
others grow up questioning their worth.

And that does something to a person.

This month is a reminder, check in, pay attention, and don’t overlook what’s unseen.

Some battles don’t make noise… but they’re still being fought.

I have been living the true definition of push through and somedays Faith has me in a chokehold right now. Living with Stage 4 bilateral upper and lower extremity lipo-lymphedema has challenged me in ways I wasn’t prepared for, physically, mentally, and emotionally and if I’m being real… it’s one of my biggest insecurities.

I used to rip and run. Go. Move. Show up for everybody, most times without even thinking about myself.

But this time… God sat me down for real. So much has happened in my life in just a short amount of time and when you’re forced to slow down, you don’t just feel it in your body, you feel it in your spirit. You start facing parts of yourself you could avoid when you were always on the move.

This is uncomfortable. This is humbling. This is hard.

But I made a promise to myself… I’m going to faith my way through it anyway.

Not because it feels good.
Not because I’ve figured it all out.
But because I refuse to let this be the thing that defines me.

So if you see me moving different, slower, quieter… just know I’m still here.

Still choosing faith.
Still choosing to show up.
Still choosing not to quit on myself, even on the days it would be easier to.

This season didn’t stop me… it sat me down long enough to understand myself differently.

And I’m walking through it…however that looks on purpose.

The peace I have right now… whew.

I ain’t never felt like this before.

I can’t really explain it. I just know something in me has gotten quiet. I’m not trying to figure out every next move. I’m not fighting what God is doing. I’m not asking for everything to make sense anymore.

I know God got me.

and for the first time in a long time, I feel… settled.

One of the greatest misconceptions about individuals with intellectual and developmental differences is that they are limited by their diagnosis.

What I have learned is that many are not lacking ability, they are lacking opportunity.

As I watch my students move closer to graduation, I am reminded that growth looks different for everyone, but progress is progress. Their journey has required determination, patience, resilience, and the courage to keep showing up even when things are difficult.

We spend a lot of time focusing on transferable skills, communication, confidence, problem-solving, professionalism, and self-advocacy because success is about more than earning a credential. It’s about believing you belong in the room and having the tools to navigate it.

Some days are challenging. Some days require extra patience. Some days they absolutely wear me out. 😊 But every breakthrough, every accomplishment, every moment they begin to see their own potential makes it worth it.
