This sweet as honey show has taken Netflix and the world by storm. Serenity is an idealistic place that just doesn’t seem real. It may for some but for the majority it’s a fantasy many wish could be true. This season they infused religion and prayer more. Not in a punch-you-in-the-face type of way but […]

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. We can thank author Bebe Moore Campbell and Linda Wharton-Boyd who were the driving forces to raise more awareness about mental health and remove the stigma. The resources listed below aren’t specifically just for mental health but also for the causes of mental health. If you need […]

Yea I know I’ve been M.I.A. for a good minute. I paused blogging in September and picked it back up in May of this year. A lot has changed in my life. I was in my last year of ministry school, went back to teaching in the classroom and some personal things that stretched me […]
