I've been so scared about taking risk all my life. So last year I decided to become more bold in steps I take.
I moved to another state to complete my education. I decided to go out more and learn about life in general. Had more fun cause life is too short.

It’s strange, really—how all my life, going to school felt like the ultimate dream. Growing up, I believed education was the key to unlocking everything I ever wanted. It was the goal, the prize, the one thing I was sure would shape my future. But now, standing at the edge of graduation, I find m...

CHAPTER ONE: THE BLOOD ON HER LACEÂ Nobody in Ajao Estate expected death to visit quietly, let alone arrive wearing lace.It was a hot Sunday morning. The kind when power had been out all night and the mosquitoes had formed a choir. Church bells rang from the Pentecostal church by the corner, and c...

There were days I sat alone, staring at the ceiling, asking myself questions no one had answers to. Would it really be so bad if I gave in? If I just slept with those men, collected the money, and finally lived without this constant hunger gnawing at my stomach?No stress. Steady cash. Just like N...

My father used to tell me that back in the days, poverty was a key element to success, and hunger was a tool to stay motivated—to keep grinding, to keep reaching for something better. He believed that when you had nothing, every small win felt like a step toward something greater. Hunger kept you...

Harriet Tubman was born around 1822 in Dorchester County, Maryland, under the name Araminta Ross. She was born into slavery, into a world that allowed her no control over her body, her time, or her family. From a young age, she was hired out to other households, often beaten and starved. As a chi...

Beneath the hush of morning light,Where silver mists and dreams take flight,The earth awakens, slow and deep,From ancient roots where secrets sleep.The sun, a golden whisperer,Draws breath across the softest fir,And trees like sentries tall and wiseLift prayers into the blushing skies.Each leaf a...

Sometimes, the version of you that people miss the most is the one you outgrew to survive. That old version might have been easier to love because it fit into their expectations—quiet when they needed silence, agreeable when they wanted peace, predictable when they feared change. But that version...

Imagine being torn from your family, marched hundreds of miles in chains, and packed into the belly of a ship like cargo. The stench of fear, sweat, and blood filling the air. The year could be 1750—or it could be now, as we trace the long shadow of African slavery and its enduring impact on Blac...

I gathered up every fragment of courage I could muster, the kind that hides in the cracks of broken things. My hands trembled as I stood before her, my voice shaking as I said the words I’d buried for so long.“Mom,” I whispered. “I need to tell you something. I was abused.”Her eyes snapped to min...

"I had grown used to the rhythm of his presence—the way he moved around the house, the sound of his footsteps in the hallway, and the quiet authority he carried.
