Three Films

Avatar

Aside from it bringing back fond memories, this film is, graphically, by far one of the best films I've ever seen. I also love the storyline. As a society, we can learn so much from this film.

My Girl

This movie pretty much defined me as a child. I could so relate to Vada.

Raising Victor Vargas

This movie is everything. I always rave about this film because of it's content and it's raw and realistic depiction of urban living. Love this film.

Two Songs...

Day 2...

Two songs

"Here" by Aslyn.

 This song kept playing over and over in my head the night before my grandfather passed away. My family and I were gathered around him by his bed at the hospital. I remember not wanting to leave him and being in denial. I didn't think it would be the last time I would see him alive. But it was. He passed away the following morning.

"Daydreamin" by Lupe Fiasco

This is one of my favorite songs of all time! There's something about this song that gives me the chills every time I hear it. Maybe it's the beat, or Jill Scott's voice. Whatever it is, this song excites me.

Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is...

Since I have been away, I have gotten a few subscribers (thank you!). And since we are now in the month of August, which happens to be my birth month, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to take part in the 10 Day You Challenge. It will give my new readers to get to know me a little better - re-introduce myself as the girl behind the poetry.

Day 1 of the 10 Day You Challenge...

One picture of yourself

This photo was taken about a week ago. 

For years, I struggled to love my curly, unruly hair.

This is me finally embracing my curly tresses. 

I love this photo. I will love it for a very long time.
