Majique MiMi’s Coffee & Cannabis
For whatever reason, Folgers Black Silk with Caramel Syrup, a lil bit of sugar, & Pumpkin Spice Creamer is on POINT. But not for nothin, and I know I’m probably late to the game, but as someone who used to have a $100 a month * “Fast Beverage” habit, I found that spraying whipped cream on my coffee in the mawnin makes a big difference.

Confession from depression
A sweet start is something that everyone had but we lost everything in childhood. No one talks about how life is when you start getting better, after 5 years of depression at the beginning of 2021 I finally started feeling better. But now even though I’m grateful that I don't feel the same and I don't struggle every day to still be here, I feel empty. When I started to heal and cut off all the bad people and gave up using people to fill an emptiness in my soul, I realised how much depression was stuck to my bone.

An Unprecedented Interview
On January 27th 2017, in what now feels like a lifetime ago, former President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13769. With the stroke of a pen, a law effectively restricted travel to the United States for citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.

5 more minutes
Last year, I vowed that my next New Year's Resolution would be to stop making New Year's Resolutions because they never made it past the January 5th mark. See, I've always chosen resolutions in the realm of extreme weight loss, extreme self-control, extreme this or that, and they never panned out because they weren't realistic. But this year...this is the year I think I might actually obtain my goal and fulfill my resolution. This year's resolution is going to be to just...sleep.

Indescribable rage and the eye for vengeance
Is letting things go ever as easy as letting things go? You often get told by your friends and peers that " you're better than that" or " do not lower yourself to their level". However, if we are pragmatic about dealing with negative emotions towards a situation that has affected your wellbeing, is it truly easy just to let things go?

My first ever counselling session
I will never forget my first counselling session. After repetitive pleas from my friends to go, I finally booked an appointment. Even then, as I was booking, I was still skeptical. I had deluded myself into believing that I was supposed to do it all on my own, that I needed no help.

An Ode to My Youth. Top Story - December 2021.
As my 25th birthday looms, I can't help but think about all the time I spent dreaming as a kid. Fixating on all the issues in the world that I would never have any direct control over. The countless hours I spent with my iPod Nano playing the melodies that would later launch me into moments of deep nostalgia. As the remnants of my childhood self start to fade and I evolve into this girl woman who aims to take the world by storm.

Beyond These Walls
The woman standing in front of me is my neighbor but she doesn’t know it. She lives in the unit on the other side of my flat’s northwestern corner wall. And as much as I'd like it, we may not actually share a wall at all, just the empty space in between plywood sheets where mice and rat droppings—and hopefully no snakes—might be found.

When I decided to Heal.
At the end of 2019, I created a list of things I wanted to manifest in the new year. I wrote them down in my journal and from there I created my ritual of bringing in the new year. I put all my intentions one by one on a piece of bay leaf. Then, I stood outside and prayed to my ancestors while I allowed the sage to burn and the smoke to protect me from any negative energy along with some tobacco and palo santo. Afterwards, I spoke my intentions out loud before I burned each individual bay leaf in the fire. I was done shortly after midnight and it was now 2020 and I felt like great things would be coming my way.

The Spunky 5-Year Old and the Dingy Old Crucifix
I Met A Little Boy Every time I switch out purses, I come across my dingy old crucifix. It’s a silver and gold-colored crucifix with green gemstones and is made of some sort of plastic material. It is missing one gemstone. A spunky 5-year-old little boy with beautiful green eyes gifted the crucifix to me. His name was Timothy.
