Single Parenting With a Chronic Illness

(this is part of the Soulful Sunday series) This past week I’ve had a few aha moments. As I woke up on a Saturday, I had to do some extra running around in order to make things work, and I started writing this list in my head. Of course, as the day went on and […]

How to Process Boundaries, Toxicity and Actions For a Better Life

I’ve recently headed back to therapy. Processing being disconnected from my father and the continual pushback experienced from family members that don’t really have my best interest at heart but rather, they’re own need to justify the trauma they experienced. Among other things. Over the last few years, I’ve continually shed fucks in a manner […]

  • 10.23 {Me & GOTV} It feels like my hair is on fire! So much to do! But, I have to take time to make a plan, to vote early and then, to help others get out the vote! This year, I'm doing that via postcards, phone and text banking and by answering questions from family and friends about voting, ballot initiatives and voter rights. How are you getting out the vote? Show me! This is part of @momsrising's #CantWait2VotePhoto challenge. Join me? #CantWait2Vote #MomsVote #LatinxVotan
  • Hey, pretty girl! She wanted to wear the alphet we got this weekend while shopping with her BFF. Topped it off with her giraffe shirt and some pineapple shoes and, voila! We don't dress up often enough but, we totally should! She's my heart and I am filled with gratitude every time I see her smile. #Mamihood #OOTD #FrogPrincess
  • Some days, this is what parenting with a chronic illness looks like. We make it fun and 9 times out of 10, we succeed. I love to make her laugh. #SundayFunday #endo #Spoonie #linkinbio
  • 20. {Family} On the 20th day of October @tesseraartscollective had their grand opening. In honor of the amazing work that @addyeb_art has done and continues to do, I share my family, a commissioned painting. From left to right: me, my daughter, my mother, my grandmother, my sister. It's called Linea Materna and in it, I find the stories they could never bring themselves to tell, the sorrows and heartbreak they experienced. The joys they might not have been able to have, when living, are now felt and experienced through those of us that remain. It is our duty to transcend. By doing so, we bring peace and closure to our ancestors. This painting is everything. And so is my family. #everydayphotoaday #Ohana #Familia #Family
  • 19. {Starts with B} My baby. All sass and smarts and socks. Every day I learn something new about her and about myself. PARENTING IS HARD, Y'ALL! But I am finding grace and kindness and boat loads of love that I didn't know I had. #ILoveElena #everydayphotoaday #MyBaby
  • I wonder where these will end up today? At sorority meeting and I'm so excited to be able to hand these out to Sorors who are willing and able to send them out to voters here in Florida and remind them to get out the vote! #CantWait2Vote #MomsVote #BeTheVote #AKAMaitland
