I'm back.

A beautiful and relaxing day at the library working on my novel! 41,494 words down and counting! 📖 📕 💪 #Writing #Libraries #FeelsGood

It’s #disability pride month! Call your representatives, support your local organizations, make yourself seen and your voice heard. Be an ambassador for change, not just an ally.

The amount of internal struggle I go through clicking the "no tip" button when I am picking up my food from a pick-up counter, yet people are out here actively defending adults having sex with minors. Brains are broken.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

Y'all, I can't even begin to express how empowering it is to see a business struggle and knowing your individual boycott contributed to that! Your money is your POWER, spend it where you'll be empowered!

It's time to fry some small fish. When did it become socially acceptable to host an entire discourse during a movie at the movie theater? Our country is falling apart. Please, PLEASE shut your trap for 120 minutes. I am TRYING to watch dinosaurs and dissociate. #HUSH
