On my flight back from Jamaica... This little boy and his grandmother passed out asleep minutes after takeoff. I did not move for over an hour so he can just get restful sleep (uninterrupted). Yes, a mom knows best.

“Embrace the storms…” Kobe Bryant In fact, stand tall in the storm and honor those who supported your darkest days of depressed thoughts no one should suffer from, honestly. Still I Rise.

This is awfully familiar… Gatekeepers of society from so-called planning committeess, admission committees, hospital units and faculty with hiring capability often times make the same mistake over and over again. Black people: The look you give when you know you literally worked twice as hard. 🥹

Happy Birthday to my daughter, Pauline A CRNA in the making...just like her momma. ♥️♥️ #happybirthday #daughterlove #futurecrna

First, things, first... Early Friday morning barefoot 7 mile walk on a Jamaican beach As a Black woman who poured incredible time & love to others who look like us for 21 years across the country, this incredible trip was necessary for my lost soul I found L to the E to the N to the A Bless up.

I’m obsessed with Aloka, the Buddhist dog and the Peace Pilgrimage. Who knew this is exactly what we needed going forward into 2026. Bless up.

Putting myself first… Loving whom I discovered to be as the best version of myself. “You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down” Toni Morrison

Ending 2025 pouring mad love into myself boarding an international flight to a beautiful island. And, will continue to do so in the brand new year as a Black woman deserving of this space! Cheers! 🤸🏾‍♀️💫

When monks leave their monasteries to walk for peace, it's not symbolic, it's a warning‼️ They carry nothing but what's given to them‼️ The fact that Buddhist monks are walking for peace in America should make us all pause‼️ This is serious‼️

Proud mom moment… I noticed very early watching my daughter playing ‘doctor’ with her stuffed toys and dolls with my stethoscope. In 3rd grade she declared at school on career day her desire to be a NeuroSurgeon In 2 weeks, she take the MCAT Exam for medical school.
