After a week of sleeping, another of waiting for tears to fall, a third spent surviving on pastries, pizza, and pasta, and a final week binging Sex and the City and Insecure, I’ve officially had enough of rotting on the couch in grief. #1stLinePit #WIP #A #Con #R #Com #WF #CMe

“If the doctor had warned me that clothes would disappear from my closet beginning in my daughter’s teenage years, I would've told him my fingers were crossed for a boy.” BEFORE I LET GO X SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE = INTIMATE FRIENDS #1stLinePit #A #Q #WF #CON #R #COM #CMe

There are a handful of songs that really capture the vibe...but the title song, "Intimate Friends" by Eddie Kendricks is really the entire moment, inspiration, and heart of the book #RomComMarch

A writer I really admire told me my novel put her in the mind of throwbacks like Terry McMillan. BRB going to weep.

Everything is gonna work out.

Thank you!

ooo, this sounds like a good book! 😍

And dreams do come true!!

I can’t wait to add this to my library!!

This is your agent’s guide to Love, Witches, and Wahala: where ancient magic collides with modern romance, curses are harder to break than hearts, and sometimes love spells turn into a full-blown magical disaster. 🍷✨ #RomanticFantasy #agentsguide #questpit #onsubsoon

MEET MY MCs! When Amara struggles to find a contractor to renovate her plus-size boutique, she enlists the help of her ex-childhood best friend (& first love), Theo, who she hasn’t spoken to in 8 years💐 #questpit #r #agented

Writing the book was easy (enough), editing was (painfully) easy, but querying? I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT LIKE THIS.

And suddenly...I'm obsessed with Marcellina Akpojotor

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS!!! Read it, and it's a book we all should have on our shelves.

HAPPY PLACE + EVERY SUMMER AFTER = NONE OF THIS WAS REAL If you love someone, let them go and if they come back for your sister's wedding, then nothing can possibly go wrong. She broke his heart years ago. She wants him back. He doesn’t trust her. But should she even trust him? #questpit #q #r

No response is a response. & it’s a powerful one. remember that baby ❤️

I quite literally only want to pour into me at this point of my life 💕

I really love my book a whole lot and really soon, I hope an agent falls in love with it too 🥹

discussing, sharing, experiencing music together is top tier intimacy.

My friend wrote a book and the cover is here! I’m so excited to share the gorgeous design for The Recipe of Us, a heartfelt slow-burn romance about love, growth, and finding a home. Coming May 20th, 2025—add it to your TBR now! 💕 #TheRecipeOfUs #writingcommunity #booksky

Zendaya and Tom Holland being engaged makes me perhaps unreasonably happy. I'm really rooting for them.

The entire Mother album is a balm.

Being blind to the signs that were always there <

Bad Sisters season 1 was an absolute banger. Apple TV really not missing!

A group of retired Black women in Philly gather weekly to sew period pads for girls in Africa. Along the way, they've also built a community here "We believe in each other and have faith in ourselves, and we have faith others are going to support us”

This year, I wanted certain people to show up for me in the way I needed but that didn’t happen. Instead, God did and he did it in the biggest ways. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to truly get the picture of something so simple.

Rest in Peace & Power 🫶🏾

The giants are really leaving us 🥹

Grief has really shown me the clearest that I can’t expect “me” out of people. While some may not know how to operate regarding grief, I’m just really shocked at the lack of support from people I was super close to. It’s so strange. No calls, no texts… nothing direct.

Buying every Black Santa I see in the store is so healing to my inner child 🥲

A thing about grief I hate to admit

I know we all love Dodger Blue a lot but when Hitta J3’s verse comes on “gnx” something in me activates.

John Legend’s Another Again and The Isley Brothers’ Voyage to Atlantis are sonically perfect.

The older you get, the more you realize that you can have it all… just not all at once. Life is all about seasons.

I’m so tired of paying bills, dawg lol

The theme for 2025 is discipline.

Sundays are for Jazz

Ravens/Eagles just kicked off. You may be wondering what that has to do with Richard Pryor — who would’ve turned 84 today. But in a game with two star Black QBs, you actually can’t talk about the story of Black QBs w/o mentioning Pryor. Seriously. andscape.com/features/ric...

Abbott elementary starts at 8pm this week with an hour long special. Please spread the word! 🎄 🫡

Syracuse comes back from down 21 to SHOCK No. 6 Miami 🍊 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

6-OTs is absolutely insane

Every time. There’s something so familiar, so warm about it. It’s like a hug and a recollection and a longing, all in one song.

It’s so Black and so 90s. Feels like a warm distant memory every time I hear it.

Whatever Sounds of Blackness put in “Soul Holidays,” I just could cry every time I hear it.
