I watched the backdoor pilot for All American Homecoming last year. I thought it had a lot of potential. Simone had a good presence on All American with an interesting storyline but to have a spin-off on her character to me was a risk. And it was a risk that turned out to be the […]
I’m finally at a place in my life where contentment is real. It’s not something I’m forcing. Or imagining. Or even hoping for. It’s a real feeling. A state of being for me. And it was a long time coming. Nothing in my life looks how I would have wanted for my age in life. […]
December 24, 2021 my phone was cut off. I was going through a rough time in my winter season. I knew it would because at that time I couldn’t afford to pay the bill. I received a phone call from one of my besties checking in on me and wishing me a Merry Christmas Eve […]
