The art of living · you rise, truer
Supremacy
Not winning. Arriving. The slow rising into your truer, wiser, more grounded self — the one you were always growing toward, even on the days you couldn’t feel it. And then, gently, the line carries you back toward the next storm. We keep becoming.

Keep using me!
The thing I love most are words. I am learning that now. The idea of looking through the day and finding words to keep in a way that lifts my spirits, your own, is a gift. Sometimes these words come to me like a prayer. Strings of words form in my mind and out to…

Keep positions that matter!
Today, I stepped into my essence. God, my Zobam, family and friends were with me. No one told me it would be like this. That I would be in positions that matter. Positions in which I get to decide the nature and quality of other people’s lives. I see the world must be the way…

Keep knowing we are living in an age of spectacle!
We are living in an age of spectacle within some spaces, one where the goals are no longer formalized curiosity but a desire to inflict pain and shame where necessary. Not only are we not engaged as humans, some of us are profoundly evil, unable to discriminate between shock or empathy. The danger of a…

Keep the litany for survival!
I keep Audre Lorde’s litany for survival very close to me. It has become a reminder for the times we face. We are not afraid too. Just glad that we know where we stand and how far we have come. See where you think you laugh last, we laugh long, remembering always that we were…

Keep dreaming!
I have been reading dreams of a common language by Adrienne Rich and these words, below reflected my way with a dash of Toni Morrison, are what I will keep as i close a chapter of my life, one where I finally learned to fly, though as a new chapter begins… She was not a…

Keep knowing they will never take your power!
How do you find voice in a space that would rather stifle it? How to you even confront the fear of expression knowing that what you say or do can be used against you? They say often that there is a bad side to life in academia. I saw it with my two eyes this…

Keep fighting for God’s glory.
The past couple of days have been trying. I expected this. But living through it has been something else. But here is what I’ll keep. Know your worth. I came for a higher glory. I lived for a greater good. None of that changes even if my decisions with life seems unsettling. I am still…

Keep knowing failure leads to your superpower!
This is about failure. A reminder that it fortifies growth. Those focused on success or places far, the ideas just outside the box and with no path to funding. Those that force us to arise or learn to trust. All the ways we seek for real knowledge not whittled down by requirements. All things focused…

Keep being stars!
Tell them we stood like stars and dazzled and dazzled like stars within. But we never forget, and we keep the memories of a time something tried to dim our light. Yet still like stars, we dazzled. Right at the beginning of setting up one of my most significant research programs, an individual I entrusted…

Keep grants as poetry!
Sometimes grants come to me as poetry. Often disconnected from reality, I am learning they enable me to be persistent with reality. The tools for grant-writing belong to masters whose noose can be tight around your neck if you don’t understand their intent. I do. So, sometimes, grants come to me a poetry. For hidden…

Keep the uses of your power!
We are meant to live our lives full. Demand excellence first for ourselves, then gift it to the world. I’m in a space where only things that make my life richer and full are allowed. I enter this space with grace and empowered to lead others to their fullness too. I do so loving what…

Keep reflecting on your light and dreams!
Listen, the work is hard. Every single one written. Years of failures. Years of tears too. Every single experience, especially the ones I failed at, stretched me to my fullest. If I was intense with the process, if I was hard too, plain and direct at times too, know that all that mattered, was how…
