I am sorry you hate yourself….

... but leave my beautiful Black ass out of it. Recently, I was reflecting about the past relationships I have had and like a runaway freight train, it hit me. Some of the men I have been romantically or sexually linked to hated themselves for being Black and they hated dark-skin Black women in tandem. …

You don’t always have to comment, but do observe.

You don't always have to comment when you see colorism, but make note of your "friends" who perpetuate colorism. Protect yourself, your kid, and your peace from this dysfunction. #Mommyfab

Aging Black American Women and their sexuality

Thank you Stacey Abrams for your fight against Supremacy in Georgia

The state failed its voters. You see, despite a record-high population in Georgia, more than a million citizens found their names stripped from the rolls by the secretary of state, including a 92-year-old civil rights activist who had cast her ballot in the same neighborhood since 1968. Tens of thousands hung in limbo, rejected due …

I am hurting for Chicago. That’s my hometown.

I keep Chicago in my prayers and my hopes. I keep hoping Black Chicagoans will make it. #MommyFab #EfabulousHB
