No Longer Watching the Clock: One writer lets motherhood find her

Collab piece w/ @5thcorona ❄️ If you’re in Chicago this weekend check it out, along w/ the other artists’ work ✌🏾 & 💙

For years I read Vogue religiously & my favorite edition was the thick-as-a-phone book September issue. Part of my joy was reading then Editor-at-Large André Leon Talley’s whimsies about the fashion shows he witnessed & his travels round the world.

@5thcorona Thank you for asking me to collaborate on your piece. Wish I could beam myself to Chicago to see it in-person, but I’ll def check out the Livestream, link in bio.✌🏾& 💜Posted @withregram • @5thcorona The Posters are up, most of the art is hung & a sneak peek on some of my art work.

Insecure is ending tonight, & I’m pre-sad😩You know the writing is good when you so deep into a character’s story (whether it be a book or a show) that you feel a little empty when it’s done. Not only did this show allow me to go down memory lane revisiting my early twenties when I lived in LA & worked in Leimert Park near We Got Y’all offices😆 I also got to see Issa Rae’s hard work pay off from Awkward Black Girl to Insecure & beyond. I remember I found out about Rae’s work when @biggunsbigtobacco posted her ABG Go Fund Me & said something like, ‘if you can spend money on a latte, you can support a black woman.’ I clicked on the link, watched the first ABG episode Stop Sign & have been a fan since. I am so thankful that I’ve been able to bear witness to such a funny, poignant, colorful show w/ thee best soundtrack around.

Just finished Tar Baby & I am speechless. I need to let my feelings settle like seeds from a blown dandelion. The way Toni Morrison writes about nature is just one part of the beauty of this book. I’ma need to read some academic papers about this because I know I missed a lot w/ the metaphors, but I enjoy the digging & discovery that comes w/ reading her work.

Weekend in reverse

Thank you @charmcitybooks for featuring Sonic Memories in your local authors section. She’s in good company ☺️
