I try to pretend that October is my favorite month. My mom, my nephew and I all have birthdays in October. Halloween is in October. The weather is amazing in October. Though really, I love June; I know you wouldn’t think it because I’ve been very loud about my disdain over summertime and heat, but…
Being that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I thought I would share some things that have been helping me get through the chaos that is 2020.

The amount of times I gasped! I went into Bad Education with little knowledge of what the film was actually about but with a phenomenal cast leading the way I knew that I was in for a phenomenal ride. With Hugh Jackman leading the way; along with Allison Janney, Ray Romano and Rafael Casal right…
My only saving grace during this Quarantine has been music and with everyone postponing their albums, it’s been a stressful few weeks for me. However, Jessie Reyez was my saving grace last Friday and her debut album, BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US, has been on heavy rotation ever since it’s release. Jessie Reyez took…
