I'm excited to be part of the #HIPHOPEDConference 2023! If you were one of the fortunate people that registered for the #SOLDOUT conference, check out my workshop session "I SAW MYSELF SEE MYSELF: USING SPOKEN WORD POETRY TO (RE)IMAGINE IDENTITY" I might just spit a piece or two.

Don't hide your vulnerability when sharing your story. Embrace the struggles, failures, and uncertainty that make us human. They may be uncomfortable to talk about, but they're the moments that truly connect us. —@PipDecks

I don’t know if it’s poor timing, but @donlemon was kinda turning up a little too hard at the NYE event this year on @ABC . 😂😂😂 But in all seriousness… take your vacation and sick time because if I learned anything from @donlemon’s firing… you can be replaced.

Dealing with heartbreak? "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho is just the prescription you need. Follow Santiago's journey of self-discovery as he learns that sometimes, the greatest love story is the one we have with ourselves. #Bibliotherapy #HealingWords
