Rethinking Colorblindness

Rethinking Colorblindness

I used to think that being “colorblind” was a good thing—a way to say that I don’t judge people by the color of their skin. The intention behind the phrase is positive: to treat everyone equally. But someone shared an insight with me that made me rethink it. For many...

Read This If You’ve Ever Wondered, “Why Am I Like This?”

Read This If You’ve Ever Wondered, “Why Am I Like This?”

I just finished The Origins of You by Vienna Pharaon, and let me tell you—this book is excellent, excellent, excellent. It’s not just insightful; it’s so authentically expressed and well presented that I can’t imagine it not helping anyone who’s looking for more...

Life’s Greatest Remix: The Wisdom Edition

You know how DJs take an old song, add a new beat, throw in some unexpected bass, and suddenly it’s a banger? That’s what wisdom is. It’s not about getting older (because let’s be real, some people age like fine wine, others like expired milk). It’s about taking...

Where Your Heart Stands

Where Your Heart Stands

It’s not about political parties anymore. It’s about where your heart is. The divide is clearer than ever, but it’s not just about left or right—it’s about integrity, about leaders who don’t walk their talk, about a system that’s lost the trust of the people. When...

Triggered: It’s Not Always About You

Triggered: It’s Not Always About You

Have you ever had an interaction that left you feeling blindsided—angry, hurt, or misunderstood—without really knowing why? It’s interesting how we walk through life thinking we’re whole, only to later realize that wounds we weren’t even aware of have been shaping our...

Breaking the Cycle: The Raw Truth About Authenticity

Breaking the Cycle: The Raw Truth About Authenticity

We hear it all the time—“Be your authentic self.” But most people don’t truly understand what that means until they wake up to the realization that they’ve spent years unconsciously adapting to narratives others have expected of them. Authenticity isn’t just a...
