Maybe to you, 1991 seems almost like a lifetime ago, but for me, it’s been a stark reminder as to how the education system continually fails black students. I was no more than 8 years old, but you were my first experience with racism. You were the one who taught me that just because someone…

There is no doubt that kids absolutely love to spend time with their dads. Dads are often seen as the fun, easy going, let-them-do-whatever-they-want type. In our family, mom is with the kids most of the time. So, when I get home from work, I try my hardest to alleviate the amount of work she…

And remaining on this strict schedule meant that I had lists for everything. Groceries, cleaning, errands, school stuff, my stuff, my husband’s stuff. I am a Post-It note,…
When I wrote this in late 2016, we had two toddlers who are now 5 & alost 7. As we venture back into toddlerhood with baby number 5, a lot of this rings true, as this will be our last time embarking on the toddler years. Toddlers toddle. That’s just what they do. And because…
