Even Good Things Leave Scars
I’m married. This June, Adonis and I will celebrate 3 years of some serious lovin’. He rocks and I adore him. When we wed, I slipped on a ring that is wavy in cut, original in design. After a while (2 and a half years), I noticed that my skin underneath the band was embedding […]
Ahh, the Irony
Now, don’t get me wrong. Approximately 129 people in my life emailed, linked, or suggested that I visit the boomilicious blog, “Stuff White People Like.” It has been the skyrocketing Grey’s Anatomy of the blogging world, second only to Post Secret.

I am in Florida. Honored to be in a ceremony where two womyn joined in love and in commitment celebrated their union, Adonis and I are with friends taking a much needed break from Boston. My two friends who have declared their love to the world asked just a handful of friends to gather in […]
"Radical," Feminism, Boston, and WAM: Free Write
This is just a free write about some topics that have been circulating in my head from the weekend. This is my last post about WAM (Women, Action, and the Media Conference). There are two things I want to blog about right now: the term radical and my WAMmo experience. First question – Do people […]
