Stand By Me
This black love story touched me so deeply. Not because I know what it is to lose a baby, though I know a few people that have, but because for a significant other (Karega) to put themselves aside to be able to love their significant other through such a transformation makes me curious about attaining such an elevated love. I'm almost jealous. Those who know me can attest, jealous is a word not used by me. I have learned that we all have different journeys in this life and many times the grass is not greener. However, after experiencing pregnancy and the birth of the best thing that has ever happened to me, stretch marks, stretched breasts and sleeplessness aside I can say the love that he aspires to give her, I aspire to get.
Months ago I started writing this poem about having such a joy in my life and how parent's love survive the loss of a child but it seems my love is unable to survive the healthy birth of one. What a peculiar development. To love someone for years, make a baby in love and what should have stitched you closer seemingly ripped you apart. Forgive me, it's not the baby, it's a number of things, things from me and him but if a honest conversation will ever be had about everything without blame or ridicule, that remains to be seen. But oh to be loved after the transformation of a body you knew your whole life that morphed in an instant, must be nice. To be forgiven, even in your missteps, must be nice. To be respected, to be taken care of without question...must be nice.

A Missed Embrace
You had the opportunity to embrace me,
to grab me by the waist despite the thick unsettling air between us
"Settle it" I whisper with my eyes
but you look through me
perhaps you saw an enemy
but you did have the chance.
The chance to hold me like you once did
when things weren't so uncertain between us
when "I love you" wasn't mere formality
when holding me would resemble normalcy.
For you must not see,
my attempt to hold you close.
Lacking the vernacular,
to expose myself to you
the way I should
the way I used to
because of the wall you built
I built one too.
If only you hugged me
standing in front of you wouldn't feel so lonely
bare
I was exposed and you didn't see
how I yearned to be close to you
when I've drifted so far from me
You missed it, the opportunity to embrace me
when I needed it most
when we could've fixed what's broke.
Now the memory of the moment
means nothing more than
a missed embrace.

Penis Photography
Is it going down in your DM? Well ladies, capitalize! Invest in a camera and some lights then tell those guys you can help them market those mini minds of theirs even better than they can, FOR A PRICE.
Someone has already gotten a head start (hehehehe). Soraya Boolbaz, a New York photographer has taken "dick pics" to a new level. She is a professional penis photographer that trended on the web (when I first started this piece). The abstract artist has shocked me, and I'm guessing onlookers everywhere, with her approach to taking penis pictures. The more I type it the stranger it seems. However, one of her pictures has sold for about $10k. Yup, TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS....I'll pause while you all search Amazon for photography equipment.

Now, imagine taking your man (or someone else's man - no judgement here, no really, judgment) to a studio and letting them whip out JR get him all dressed up and let Boolbaz make JR look the best he's ever looked. Boolbaz says, "...I can make a personality out of penises." Well HOT DOG (lol) That is exactly what she does, aiming to make men feel sexy and good about their bodies Boolbaz dresses up penises in tailored outfits and personas of their own. And with names like Frank Salami and Woody Wilder, what's not to love?
I'm not totally on board but I dig the creativity. Who thinks this will catch on? Based on Bahamian men turning into practicing Catholics when it's time to dress those penis' in other attire (strap up guys) as well as some responses I got; in The Bahamas I say never, but ya never know how the wind may blow ;-).

Butterflies Aren't Love (Part 1)
they lied
they said I would know when I met the love of my life
that butterflies would gather in the depths of my stomach
clutter my mind
and take
my
breath
they lied
they said when he looked at me my steps will become unsteady
that these same butterflies would suspend me ten sky scrapers above ground
never to bring me down
and take
my
breath
they lied
they said when his eyes meet mine they will pierce my soul
that I will tingle all over your body
butterflies, will erupt like a volcano
and take
my breath
I've learned
butterflies die,
and those feelings are based in the flesh,
at best, an attraction
a collision, the worst wreck you never saw coming
one you couldn't stop
butterflies are merely a bomb, their wings
the ticking of the clock
and when he walks away, the clock
stops.
Butterflies aren't love.

Update on Life/Death
It's been over a year since I've written anything on this blog, and in general I haven't penned my thoughts in a while. There have been a number of life changing experiences though, the most tragic being the loss of my grandmother.
September 28th 2017 my grandmother died.
It still feels fictional. There are no profound words I can say, no words of encouragement to others or poems of nostalgia. I can't even describe it.
Her escaping this world makes sense. Losing her was a pain but she'd gotten all she needed out of this world. As I continue to navigate this treacherous terrain it's a wonder she was able to hold on for 91 years.

Be Alone...Without Being Lonely
Some of us find it a herculean task to be in the company of ourselves. Yes! If you fall into any of these categories I mean you:
1. Must have company and gets sad without people around.
2. Always looking for group activities and can't remember the last time you did something solo.
3. You annoy you
4. 28yrs old, 7 partners - hasn't been single from 1990. (if you do the math you'll see how crazy this is)
Mind you the list can go on - I just can't, I gotta make my point before I lose ya.
So here it is, we find it hard to embrace being without a partner or friend or some other body because we become sad and lonely maybe even depressed. The yearning for companionship every minute of everyday can prove to be more detrimental than you think because once the person or people are gone, you feel empty. And "empty" is the operative word here because I'm not saying being in the company of others is bad or wrong, I'm saying without them, you are a shell of a person not even you can recognize. So taking care of them, doing what they like and melting into them all became the centre of your world without you ever developing yourself. It essential that we are able to be whole without having someone else there to complete us. When you think about it, if you are a person that feels you need the company of others you'll realize that they are mere distractions for what's really going on with you. Sometimes we haven't dealt with a loss of some kind or some other trauma and being alone forces us to relive and ponder about those sometimes painful realizations. I want to reassure you though, being able to be alone without the feeling of loneliness is a gift that we can give ourselves that will never become stale, played out or boring. You have the opportunity to develop skills and talents you never realized you had. You may read a book that changes your life. There's so much of you to discover.
And yea yea I know it's romantic and Hallmarkesque to tell your loved one, "you complete me" or "you're my better half"
trust me I get it. You want that person to know the depth of your love for them. However, we must be reminded that if you are not our best selves, we can potentially be toxic to others. We should not lose ourselves in a person. If you are a whole, you don't need them to complete you and that way, that person is a BONUS. Everyone likes bonuses!!
So embrace the gift of being happy with you. Learn your strengths, improve your weaknesses - find your passion and ignite your own fire. When you have time to yourself, don't feel lonely - This is YOUR time. Once you learn how to do this you'll fight for that alone time, and being alone CAN NEVER BE LONELY.

Semester From HELL 2016/2017
So I have officially completed drowning in COB Fall 2016. I swallowed gallons of salty water as I doggy paddled through treacherous seaweed filled seas. It is through God and a sawlid support system that I was able to come out alive.
I haven't written for the year...I have done my two readers a disservice because I recovered from the COB madness only to be thrown into the belly of the UB shark. Pray for me guys. I have not forsaken you!

I AM NOT INTIMIDATED
I have a classmate, sad misguided soul, that said one class "I feel intimidated talking to white people". And when I asked in amazement, "What did you say?" She continued, "Yea, man white people...." and some other non-sense I blocked out because I refused to believe this child was actually talking these rot .
What in the entire (insert bad word here) does that mess mean??
So, you're telling me a young woman currently obtaining a college education (not first year I might add) and you state that you are intimidated speaking to someone, not because of their level of education....not because of understanding of a topic....but you are intimidated because of a person's color.
Help me understand Father!!
Where it is broken help them fix it.
Be a fence and be a wall...cause I really couldn't understand it at all.
In that one statement she captured part of the problem with our people. We can not realize our power. We do not see that we all are powerful, especially if we stop allowing doubt and the standards of others to dictate to us what we should be and how to go about doing things.
I believe that perhaps some black people may sometimes feel as she described intimidated by white people because that is the discourse white people have created for us. But it is UNTRUE. It is a LIE. We are not inferior. College or no college we are NOT inferior. Our color does not automatically tie us down to failure. Color does not dictate your greatness. Stand tall and speak to whoever with confidence because they are no better than you.
I'm sure I'll be back to expand on these thoughts.
Think about this until I'm back...If humans would learn to stop racing against each other we can all rise to unprecedented heights.
Go be great people.

Electric
I laid in bed...the stillness of the night all around me. I thought it was too quiet, the neighbours generator must be out of gas. You see, hurricane Matthew just passed devastating my country and since then, this has been the norm.
I tossed and turned for a while. Luckily the cold front provided some comfort. As the sweet breeze kissed my skin, I draped my body with a thin floral sheet - just enough protection to keep away the mosquitoes, knowing that before long one leg would be thrust from beneath the covers.
Little did I know, that soon I'd have the most erotic dream of my life.
I pitched up...the night so dark I couldn't see my hands before me. I walked with arms outstretched, finally my palm reached a hard surface. OH YEA, I thought as I glided my soft hands up the rippled surface and finally there it was, sticking out before me. By this time the air was still and the heat had risen immensely. I continued my exploration. I slid my hand....pushed it up and BAM...
THERE WAS LIGHT!
"My word!" I shouted, "Tings awreddy betta" I continued as I danced with the warm light hitting cheeks. I ran through the house clicking on all the light switches, all the fans, all the TVs. My dog gazed at me with wonder. He could not understand my excitement. On day 13, I finally had electricity.
That dream was serious. I woke up drenched in sweat, what a wet dream.

Wait...It's Coming
In the age of consumerism and social media life broadcasts we've been led to believe that we need more and we need more now.
We may start to think: We should be over there doing what classmates are doing. We should have what this one has. Why am I not there yet? Why don't I have this?
Wait....
Remember those good ole sayings:
When you don't get something exactly when you want it there's many possible reasons why, but I'd say: God knows you weren't to have it - or he says that's not for you to have at all. Sometimes that road you feel has too many bumps was designed to keep you back from the oncoming collision.
As I approach a major milestone in my life I am reflective, I am happy, I am celebrating. I will not allow society to put an expiration date on my blessings. I am embracing where I am! Progression is my goal and God keeps me moving toward it!
So don't rush for anything; just wait...it's coming!

Nailed It: Pirates Edition
I went to cover my first video release party on the weekend (BIG SHOUT OUTS TO MY BOY TONASH) and I was really excited, sleepy, tired...but excited. It's so inspiring when people can follow their passions fearlessly. And us in this small country (The Bahamas) should continue to support each other in positive movements. You can read more about the party on http://www.elife242.com/tenacious-tonash-bahama-mama-video-release-party/.
Nowwwwwwww.....during the festivities I wandered upstairs to find a mini museum. There were photos of all sorts of pirates they taught me about in school that I completely blocked out of my memory database. I'm sure one was Anne Bonny...sighs, anyway, I took this opportunity to play with the pirates a bit and I totally NAILED IT!

The M.V.P
Woooooooosssssaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am slightly disturbed in this very moment...(actually posted late :D)
How the hell you gonna bench your most valuable player and expect to win the game?
People have a hard time appreciating how great you are in the game until you're benched. Or you're playing injured and they don't even notice! If you ride your star player but don't treat them as deserved and to add insult to injury, put them out the game to let subpar merely mediocre people play, expect your results to be unfavourable. Of course I'm not wishing you evil or anything bad at all, but it's fair to say - I'll save my wishes!
As it stands, I have declared myself the MVP of friendships and eff what you thought. However, due to continually getting my wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeee stick lodged in a deep pile of doodoo. At some point in time you realize that your talents need a better support system and you just switch teams.
So here's a few steps to
Build a PRODUCTIVE team that supports and promotes each others goals and needs.
REMEMBER all the things your former team was lacking, the minute you sniff out that spirit, fire that player.
Most importantly refuse to be accept being benched - people do not have the right to drop you and pick you up when it is convenient to them. You are high PRIORITY- You are the Most Valuable Player.
Here to present with a token of my appreciate is none other than....

My Hair "Angie": Flex-It-Out Tutorial
I have to start making videos, as soon as I muster up the courage, but currently me and my camera will take you on whatever journeys Angie and I have. The details on this style was requested by a lovely lady on Instagram @hair_by_kia and I'm sorry I didn't take much more pictures but I will be as detailed as I can in this mini Flex It Out Tutorial.
The reason I coined it my Flex-It-Out tutorial is simple:
1. it sounds cool! I'm cool! Be like me!
2. only rods used were flexi-rods
3. I took them out - certainly no rocket science (i before e, except after c, had to make sure)
So for about 2 weeks I wore my hair semi straight. I washed it with my niece's 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner. Oiled it real well with Organix coconut oil serum, then flat twisted it so it could air dry and have some stretch.
there's two bobby pins holding the ends of the twists securely on opposite sides; it's not pulled so tight it hurts but it was pulled so Angie didn't curl up at the ends.

A day or two later I took them out and flat ironed my hair (the name tag sticker on my phone; funny story...sex party lol)
I'm not leaving any of these processes out because it's important to understand the texture of my hair at the time of this style. (For those interested: I've been told I have 4/b hair - I don't follow that stuff up)
Now down to the good stuff...after about 2 weeks, Angie and I got tired of that semi straight nonsense that was going on (it was never bone straight)
Soooooooo dreading wash day, I said my hair smelled good enough to go another week. LOL don't judge me.
I cleared it out with my Denman (every naturalista new and old probably heard about this brush) I have two of them, the black red and white one seems to be much better than my all black but that's my opinion because it's like the grip changed and the bristles slide out of place more often with the black which is highly annoying.
I then moisturized again with the coconut oil serum (pictured further up), followed up with the shea moisture hibiscus smoothie 
I absolutely loveeeeeeeeee this. I've had a jar for about a year now and I still have a little less than half left because you don't need a lot of it, it's thick and smells delish. (side note) I've read on forums and comments that the formula has changed and it's not as good but I'll have to wait to see.

I wanted a lot of moisture because it did have direct heat from my flat iron and I wanted to make sure it didn't suffer from being wore out hair frequently. I used eco styler gel
to set it. Eco styler is another natural favorite.

Then I started sectioning - fairly large sections and added products to the sections; twisted and rolled on blue flexi rods straight to the scalp.
sorry for the bad photos
The next morning I took out the rods undid the twists and fluffed AND..
...here was the look

Better Than a Disney Princess
The debate over little black girls having their own Disney princesses to look up to has been hot. For so long our chocolate cuties have been enamoured by roles of Cinderella, Snow White, Belle and Arial to name a few. When the movie "Princess and the Frog" came out in 2009
little black girls of this time could lean a little closer to the screen as Princess Tiana, Disney's first black princess emerged. (I believe the closest we got was Pochantas, released 1995 - another great movie
please listen to my Poca jam https://youtu.be/diQgSDWJL7o) And I could go on for hours about what could have been changed but I won't...I'll just say it was a step in the right direction!

In 2013, "Frozen" was released and the popularity of this movie was overwhelming and soon shifted Elsa & Anna
into children's favourite princesses. It was easy to fall in love with the icy Elsa and her long flowing braid
(Anna's my fav tho) but my youngest niece ------}
(this lil puddin pop) touched me deeply when she wanted her hair like Elsa's and her mother did a similar style to appease her but in her eyes, it was too far from Elsa's. It made me upset to know that she was unhappy with her hairstyle. My sis in law explained very well to her though that she can't be just like Elsa, and it's okay to be different. Later I told her I loved her hair, that she was beautiful, and looked wayyyyyy better than Elsa.
All this to say, I was inspired by my honey to be my own version of Elsa, I'm a princess my way. Hopefully every little girl is encouraged to love what she was blessed with. You're unique...enjoy it. You're better than a Disney Princess.

(this lil puddin pop) touched me deeply when she wanted her hair like Elsa's and her mother did a similar style to appease her but in her eyes, it was too far from Elsa's. It made me upset to know that she was unhappy with her hairstyle. My sis in law explained very well to her though that she can't be just like Elsa, and it's okay to be different. Later I told her I loved her hair, that she was beautiful, and looked wayyyyyy better than Elsa.All this to say, I was inspired by my honey to be my own version of Elsa, I'm a princess my way.
