I love podcast. I listen to them every single day of the week. One day I was listening to one of my faves and thought to myself, “self, you can do this. You should start a podcast!” So I took my advice (I give really good advice on most days) and I created the podcast …
My 2019 three to try, three to learn list
I am slightly addicted to learning and my sense of adventure is kind of epic. Knowing that about myself, I decided to flip the script on the annual goal setting ritual and chart my own course. Behold the annual three to try, three to learn list.
Well, hello there 2019

Yes, adults do have slumber parties
With the busyness of life, it can be hard to carve out those moments of bonding and memory making. You have to make time because none of it is guaranteed.
What I learned from my badass sister group of POC women leaders

Kid Fury and Crissle gave Seattle an oasis of blackness with The Read Live

I turned 40 and here is what I learned about hitting this major life milestone
My birthday is one of the most important days of the year. You can fight me on it, but I’d win. For starters, I was born on that day, automatically making it a holiday. But, it turns out, my birthday is actually a national holiday. It’s the day we honor our armed forces for their …
I went to the Black Women in Tech Summit and it was awesome

Why I always vote and why I think you should too
Midterms are right around the corner and that means we all as US citizens have the right and responsibility to vote. I understand the concept of having the right to choose to engage or disengage in the political process. Really. I hear you. But the way my ancestors are set up, I’ll be carrying my …
