It is my sincerest hope that in coming years the Houston Black Heritage Festival will evolve and expand into an event that puts a large priority on the sense of Black American pride, knowledge sharing about Black American history and encouragement for a stronger community instead of just a couple of dance routines, songs, earrings for sale and a space of cultural befuddlement. #ILoveBeingBlackAmerican
Category: I Write These Things…
Thankful. Yep that’s me!
I wrote this as a feature in 2015. My life has changed since then. I have tried to love again and loss big time. My Future CEO is thriving. My first dog, Jessie is over the Rainbow Bridge. I am now on meds for my Sarcoidosis and a good biscuit dipped in honey from 200lbs. Life has changed so much, but I am still thankful.
Why I am thankful? Seriously? Why? About 7 years ago I used to go to sleep and ask God to take me in my sleep. I was so depressed, I could not go on. Even after my gorgeous procreate was here on earth. I was deeply depressed. My marriage was failing. My health was failing. My vision of who I was and who I was supposed to be…. yep, failing.
It got to the point, I had asked God to take me and my child in our sleep so we can get together in heaven with my parents. The end. …Well, that wasn’t the end.
That failed marriage had to play out in divorce court. I had to stop praying for death and pray for strength. I had to learn to be whole “all by myself”. I would take on a rebound that would push me to the brink of…

PubMed Health to be discontinued October 31, 2018; content will continue to be available at NLM
I use the PubMed Health website A LOT. So I’m not best pleased about the change, but I’m hoping that there are talks on improving the end user experience to make it even more robust than before.
In an effort to consolidate similar resources and make information easier to find, the National Library of Medicine will be retiring its PubMed Health website, effective October 31, 2018, and providing the same or similar content through more widely used NLM resources, namely PubMed, MedlinePlus, and Bookshelf.
PubMed Health content falls into two general categories: consumer health resources and systematic reviews/comparative effectiveness research (CER). A similar range of consumer health information to that in PubMed Health is available from NLM’s MedlinePlus, while the systematic reviews and CER in PubMed Health are searchable through PubMed, which links to the full text (when available) in Bookshelf, journals, and/or PubMed Central.

Day 1 and 2 of the long trip with Sarcoidosis…
It's scary. Sometimes it's embarrassing. I'm feeling all the feels. However, I'm prayerful and I'm happy to be alive. That's the goal. Stay alive. #MommyFab #EfabulousHB
Sarcoidosis and me … NOW.
No longer can be in denial about where I am with my health. I'm in the mindset now that I have to fight to live. ... but if Sarcoidosis was a person, I'd kick its ass.

During grad school I was strategically networking for future opportunities. Over time people began to take notice and started me asking questions centered around networking.
