This blog is a result of a personal challenge I made to myself. Once upon a time, writing was my life. I literally breathed, slept, and ate writing. Expressing my thoughts and feelings in words on paper gave me the power I needed to let out the things I was too afraid to express out loud. Then it stopped. Writing turned into the enemy. I wanted to be invisible and writing made it impossible to do that. So I became silent. I was silent for 15 years. But no more. Writing is my art and it’s time for me to unleash it’s beauty to the world. And this time, I’m doing it differently. 15 years ago, my writing was all about me and the negative experiences in my life. Now, it will pay homage to the excellence that no one really hears or talks about. It will be about the Black Experience. For the rest of the year, I will be sharing my thoughts on different experiences as a way to get me back into my most favorite and most dearly missed past time and to also come out from hiding and truly experience the beauty the world has to offer.
