Keep Dr. H. Phillip Venable Memorial Park!

Read more: Keep writing grants like the high point of life or dreams!We begin again, only this time with a new team. Held a grant-writing workshop that lasted for 5-days last May. It was a first of its kind where only writing each day was allowed. Five of us made an attempt to write. We did and ended up with a single page. Crossed the box of…

Keep things delicate!
Read more: Keep things delicate!The word was delicate. In a class assignment tonight (yes I am taking classes hence my absence here), I joined late but just in time to begin writing the first thoughts that came to mind with the word delicate.

Keep the knowledge and birthday of our Belle.
Read more: Keep the knowledge and birthday of our Belle.I would liken her to a star. Not those up in the skies, but the stars within. I would liken her to the moon. Not the kind that appears in the sky at night. But the moon within. I would liken her to the sun. Not the one that shines so brightly on a clear…

Keep this quiet storm!
Read more: Keep this quiet storm!The roosters are coming home. Every single one of them. What they forgot is that we are where we are by design.

Keep knowing that being fearless still with your funds are enough!
Read more: Keep knowing that being fearless still with your funds are enough!I am learning these days, that everything beautiful about the world we live in is enough. That’s what Toni Morrison would want us to remember. With the craziness of a day, even the crazy things we experience is enough. Like our fearless funds. Sometimes words too are not needed. No need to speak or share…

Keep the power of poetry, writing!
Read more: Keep the power of poetry, writing!We are on a mission to widen and deepen our understanding of what we know and don’t know about everything there is to know of why we write as we do.

Keep this month of June, our month of beginnings, of love!
Read more: Keep this month of June, our month of beginnings, of love!If you retrace the steps that led to Belle, move back to the paths we crossed and the people and places too.

Keep peace!
Read more: Keep peace!There is a certain kind of peace I long for these days. The kind that lets me be. Free, with no demands. No strings attached, no noise, no worries too. Just a life lived well, my way, because peace flowed like a river.

Keep this collective “we” if black, female and in academia!
Read more: Keep this collective “we” if black, female and in academia!These days I am seeing, not myself, not work, not my family, not my children and lord knows I love all four of them. I am seeing instead a collective we. With insights that help to re-vision a future we. When eyes finally see, it doesn’t float free pretending that “I” am alone in struggle.…
