Emotional Parenting
I don’t know how you grew up, but for a part of my childhood- it was very much a whatever your parents say goes. Growing up in a Caribbean household, meant you didn’t push back, you don’t challenge and most of all you never saw your parents in a position where they were “equals”, let…

Gentle
I am sat up in bed shedding tears you’ll never see,Because you happen to be 27 miles away from me,Crying tears, Because in a moment where I should have chosen vulnerability,I chose fear,I bottled it, because I don’t want you to worry,Mostly, because I don’t know why I feel this way, Not sure why streams…

Resilient: Another Bad R-Word
I can almost hear the eye rolls, yes it makes a sound. What’s another word we can’t be using now? Another thing that got taken by cancel culture? I’m going to shout it for the people in the back. The concept/idea/thought/belief ( I think you get the picture ), that as Black people, we are…

Favourite Part
I love laying on your chest,So expansive and steady,Wrapped in your enveloping arms,My thoughts still,I walk my finger down your chest to my favourite part of you,The curve of your back,My hand fits there perfectly,Tracing circles,I drift and all my thoughts melt away,I kiss your shoulder,Land my finger into your belly button,Surrounded,Your leg pins me…

Deep Gut
For the first time, I got this feeling,A sudden realization that I love you,I felt the ground beneath me move,Realign,Like all of my lenses were in sharp focus,A punch in the gut,Gasping for air,The love that will hurt, You have so quickly been wrapped into my world,I can no longer see it without you,I can…

Can I Miss You?
You read the texts that say that you should be comfortable being alone,Yet that doesn’t stop your feelings of loneliness, Can I miss you?To sniff the air that remains upon your leaving?Replaying our conversations, rolling and dissecting them in my mind.Am I allowed to miss your presence?Don’t fill your void with someone, they say,But, how…

Diverse Books For Kids
Books, books, books! So many to choose from and so little time! Or at least that’s my issue with adult books, which seems to have transferred onto my daughter! Over the past few years and especially with the influx of more and more Black voices being given the platform and their over due space, many…

Words Fail
I may never be able to express the depth of love you make me feel,Language does not possess the adequate words,The areas of my heart you opened up,Regions I didn’t know existed,Places I was told to never peek into,Or was too scared to explore,You showed me trust and openness with such simple reassurance and steadiness,How…

Book Review: Saga Boy
When I first came across this book, solely based on the tile alone, I knew I needed to read it, because despite my deep love for books, I do still choose them based of my visceral reaction. Otherwise known as choosing them based on their covers and this one stood out for many reasons. Being…
