Hey Cuties,

Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was full, on Friday I attempted a DIY #fail. On Saturday I attended the WOE Magazine Launch which was amazing. I followed that up with a baby shower with the family; I won two games. *body roll* Sunday we went jumping around at an indoor trampoline place with friends, it was 21 of us in total. After all that jumping we hit up the Silver Diner still 21 deep. Add in a couple of errands and then back home. Did you tune into the first episode of season 3 of POWER? The cast of Power was at Essence Festival but I didn’t get a chance to catch up with them. I did however catch up with all of these singers; I can’t wait to spill the tea below.

Hey Cuties,

This has been a tough week, I was all excited about sharing my Essence experience and then I couldn’t form the words. Real life is happening and it had me stuck. I have two black men in my home that I worry about constantly. I don’t want anyone to be threatened by the color of their skin. In the spirit of all of this brown-ness I’m sharing part 2 of my trip.
