15th RAMaversary!! 🎓💙💛🐏1️⃣5️⃣

12/13/23 🎓👩‍🎓🎉

Returning home on several occasions this year reminded me of the many reasons to celebr8️⃣ my 'why', a question that was posed months ago by a fellow alum. My response: #AlbanyState was my escape and where I found my tribe. At 2️⃣3️⃣, I gradu8️⃣ted and ended one chapter of my life to start a new chapter, with its highs and lows, ebbs and flows, only God knew, this path He's cre8️⃣ted for me. Thankful for the turbulent wave of beginnings, the good and the bad, the angst, tears, challenges leading me to true blue, golden legacies of inspiration and introspection that are neverending. From 478 College Street to 504 College Drive, I'm 4️⃣ever b7️⃣essed & gr8️⃣ful for what was, is, and continues. 

Thri5️⃣ing on this j0️⃣urney 4️⃣ever!! 

Happy 15th RAMaversary!! 12/13/2008

KingdomWriters Annual Afflatus 2023

12/9/23 #KingdomWriters #Afflatus ✍🏾🎙🗣

Not many pictures but to take in the creative expressions, sentiments, and worship was everything. It felt so good to be back at @kingdomwriters #Afflatus, an event I have supported since 2018. Congratulations again and thank you to founder @calebjdeas and fiance' @victoriabethjordan for hosting an amazing event. I wrote a poem during the live writing session and it was a double bonus to share that moment with my #Stonecrest neighbors @malaika4stonecrest and hubby Andrew. 

The music of @afrodeitymusic & @calebjdeas inspired my poem: 

My mind is wandering, trying to find my pace, wondering if I'm in place, running this race, day to day. This space, a space of time, a space of rhythm and rhyme. From time to time, these thoughts take hold of me, I'm pleading for peace and a steady stride. The peace of the strings and piano keys, playing away the stress, this immediate press of longing for God's presence in every crevice of the tears, the fears of life. Joy! My soul cries out for this desire! This fire of God's grace and mercy, saturate me, take me to your space, this place of wonder where I don't have to wander or wonder of your Love. This perfect Love, all consuming Love, healing Love, neverending Love. Jesus, my Savior, my Hope, a magnificent Wonder. Thank you! Peace is in you.
