• RealTalk|The Impact of ICE Enforcement on Our Communities

  Fear changes how people move through the world. Right now, many in our neighboring communities are navigating daily life with anxiety — avoiding schools, hospitals, and even simple walks down the street.

• RealTalk|What Happened To Valuing Our Elders?

  In a world full of noise and opinions, wisdom still takes time. When elders aren’t valued, where does guidance come from — and what gets lost along the way?

• ASipOfFlava|MLK Jr Day

  Some memories don’t fade — they deepen. This morning, I sip my coffee and reflect on a time in our history that shaped my understanding of courage, justice, and voice. From childhood memories to grown reflection, January 15th always calls me to pause, remember, and pray for a better future for all people. ☕🌻

• RealTalk|Wigs. Eyelashes. Body Shapers. And the Places That Shape Our Choices

  Wigs. Eyelashes. Body shapers. Not judgment — just curiosity. How much of what we wear is self-expression… and how much is shaped by where we live, what’s expected, and what feels safe? Sometimes it’s confidence. Sometimes it’s convenience. Sometimes it’s just choice. Let’s talk about it — honestly.

  This season, I’m choosing intention over assumption. Light over division. Respect over tradition wars. May this season meet every heart exactly where it is — with warmth, dignity, and goodwill.

• ASipOFlava|A 13-Night Intention

  Between Christmas and the New Year, there is a quiet space where intention matters more than plans. This year, I’m stepping into an old German tradition — writing, releasing, and trusting what remains. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is let go.

• RealTalk|What Do the Holidays Mean to You?

  The holidays mean different things to different people. For some, they’re wrapped in tradition and family memories. For others, they bring reflection, change, or quiet moments of solitude.

  I learned something beautiful — that long noodles on your birthday symbolize a long, blessed life. Funny thing is, I’ve been doing it all along. Whether it’s pho, chow mein, or spaghetti and meatballs, I’ve been honoring a tradition I didn’t even know was mine. 🍜
