• Alone In Bed

  I often find sleeping alone to feel so lonely,Lying awake, staring into the dark,While your heart aches to be somewhere else,With someone else,The empty side of the bed,Feels like a void,Gapping and ever present,You’re just one of those people,Alone,It happens,But the cold draft coming from not having anyone there,Starts to wear on you,It feels hollow,…

• Rethinking Vulnerability

  Yes, yes, yet another post about my favourite subject- vulnerability! But, when it’s one of the subjects you know you personally have to work on- then it’s hard to ignore, because I’d really like to get better. So, this week on the blog, I share the way in which I have rethought how I look…

• My Year In Review…2023

  On the back of feeling like nothing significant happened this past year, it can feel a bit “disappointing”, especially if it seems as if you haven’t had any significant milestones to show off or brag about. In particular for my immediate family, we’ve had 2 pregnancy announcements and subsequently 2 new additions to the family.…

• Are We Being Conned By The Idea of “Black Excellence”?

  

  I hear it all the time, celebrating the achievements of groundbreaking Black heroes, and I am all for it and genuinely one of the 1st to share and post about these amazing feats! But that being said, it crossed my mind the other day, if the focus and praise on being so exceptional was really…

• Overcompensating As A Mother…

  With this year’s Mother’s Day freshly behind us, it got me thinking about my role as a mother and the ways in which I do not see the weight of the task ahead of me, and the ways in which I feel I am lacking. This week on the blog, I share the ways in…

• Toothbrush

  My toothbrush is missing you,Not knowing when you will bring your lips close,Caress its neck with your strong hands,Your fingers long and slender,Grip so steady, yet so soft,Moving me ever so slowly back and forth across you,I am missing our closeness,You being mine and me being yours,Missing you keeping the cupboard doors ajar,Clamouring into them…

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 2: Vulnerability

  

  I was always shown the stoic, resilient, strong female, they are celebrated in our family (as they most definitely should be), but sometimes I wish I knew about their worries. Their fears, feelings of inadequacies, their challenges. Being pregnant with 16 children and birthing 11 healthy gives you some type of superhuman strength, but maybe…

• Running

  For a long time, all I did was run,Avoid my feelings, Mask the vulnerability and put on a brave face,Show the face I thought they wanted to see,Be strong, courageous and smile through the self-doubt,I didn’t need anyone, I had myself,No one could disappoint, if I didn’t let them get close enough to,So, I kept…
