Keep remembering!
There is a gaze that women who write seem to have. The gaze is unblinking, wide, connected, and steady. It’s not narrow, very probing and it does not flinch as it bears witness. It doesn’t have funny axes to grind. Only looking for you to say Amen. When it’s time, it will amaze. Water has…

Keep the depths of love
I would tell a story about you, only a story will do as we pace the sprawling yard. Simple words will do. Your gentle ease, this nightly breeze, the memories we are left with: the day you begin, visions of grace, your first steps, the depths of your embrace, leave us hopeful for another day.…

Keep what happens when a woman rises…
Some moments, like air, are for everyone. The rising sun, black birds in flight, buzzing bees, bloom of hibiscus flowers and the rise of a woman who knows her worth. These days, I am living for moments that open up the possibilities hidden with ourselves. Things that make us human too. The other day, my…

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 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 this peace!
You will begin again in light. You will step out beyond your comfort zone. Step out to the middle of an ocean. Step into waters that will not drown you. Your feet will stand firm remembering How to stand. When you feel like falling. When you do not know whether you will survive or how…

Keep this Rest!
Some people want to know when it all happened? Truth is if you have been following my blog you would have seen why proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten. I have been intentional with using this space to reflect on my life in academia as well as my parenting. Nothing is…

Keep remembering all the ways to carry water!
I am feeling both ordinary and magic. Ordinary and magic at this crossroads where life transitions to the next. I am feeling like wandering and striding only worlds that allow me to dream as life continues and continues. The power of words, always a muse. The loss of people I hold dear, a reminder. How…

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…
