Big-ups to the RAVENS!

The Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl y'all! Don’t be salty, fans of other teams; this is a major boost for the city of Baltimore.

Yo! Me in Salt Lake City circa late 70s or earliest of 80s w/ my freshly pressed hair, water gun under my arm, & Babar book in my bag. That’s that adventurous fierce girl I wrote about in Sonic Memories. I feel like I’m getting back to the girl I was w/ each passing year. #tbt
Good times w/ friends & fam @ the 5th annual Arts, Wine, & Jazz Fest in Havre de Grace, MD☀️This event helps raise money for The Havre de Grace Colored School Museum & Cultural Center. If you are Black & from Harford County you may have a family connection to this school. Both my grandmothers attended: Alma Christie (Leeth) & Thelma Evans (Jefferson)—who became the school’s secretary after she graduated. Being in Havre de Grace feels like home to me, so much family history in this small town. If you’re interested in learning more about this school’s history & supporting in any way check the link in my bio. My grandmother’s (the former secretary) graduating class (1949) pic is on the home page (she’s 2nd row, 3rd from R). ✌🏾 & 💜
Sunday Funday w/ @honeychile77 ☀️ We had ourselves a bonafide pool day! It’s been rainy for quite a few weekends in a row so today felt like a win👏🏾
Impromptu hangout w/ my sis @brycesmother! She came through & blessed my Saturday. We caught up & played dominoes w/ my Great-Grandmother’s set💜 Thanks to my mother, Dolores, who entrusts me w/ the family artifacts.
Y’all! Please read The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by @honoree_jeffers This delicious debut novel had me riveted. I carried it with me everywhere & stayed up hella late trying to get in just one more page.
Hot times in the citay w/ the fam☀️
Maman💜
