An Unpublished Post: Pardon Me, It’s Been A Hot Minute
When the pandemic decimated my book tour (and, yes, the world), I realized how much I wanted to sit down and breathe—even though breathing didn’t feel too safe in March 2020. I had been hyped up and super-social for the better part of six months, and, whew—I was tired.
My Favorite Skincare 💜
I am thrilled about my skin these days. Which in 2020, turns out to be on a very short list of things I’m thrilled about. 😬 For the past few months, I have been using Fre Skincare: skincare specifically designed for active (ah-hem: sweating / fitness junkies / running / biking / athletic) women. The […]
But We Good People
When you have a friend or family member who says: “We may be as racist as the day is long, but we good people, go to church and tithe.” Wake up. No, no you ain’t good people. . Do better all you “good people” out there. And stop putting focus on the title of good […]
Where I Stand
I want to be clear where I stand. If you are “property over people”–if you are talking about burning buildings and not lives lost–unfriend or unfollow me. If you are “all lives matter” and don’t see why that is offensive, go ahead and unfriend or unfollow me. I grew up in the […]

Today I Went for a Run and Didn’t Die (Literally)
Today I *went for a run, and I *did not die.
I *did not worry that I would be blamed for a robbery in my *safe community because of the *color of my skin, or the *way I wore my clothes.
I was *not concerned that a truck would chase me down and threaten my life.
I *do not have to fear when I see a confederate flag on a truck with a shotgun rack (even though I think it’s disgusting), I do not worry for my life.
When I was pulled over by the Mass State Patrol, I *did not worry about a wrong hand gesture, reaching for my registration, being blink judged as a weapon. (And I *got out of the ticket.)
Today, I ran with *bougie headphones in my *expensive running shoes, *without worrying that I would be harmed.
