I was shopping in a bookstore recently when I over

I was shopping in a bookstore recently when I overheard a man complaining about turning 50.

💛 His wife tried her best to reassure him that 50 was an incredible milestone, one that he would remember forever. But, her assurances fell on deaf ears.

💛 He started complaining about his regrets, his gray hair and the fact that he had packed on quite a few pounds since he and his wife met. Again, the wife tried to tenderly reassure him that he still “had it” and that she was proud of the man he had become. But, he wasn’t moved.

💛 Listen to me. I never ever EVER intervene in people’s private conversations because you just never know how they will react, but I felt something tugging at me to speak up. Hit the link in bio to find out what happened next. Let's just say, it shocked even me.

Get ready for "Skit Ro." In my latest YouTube video, I lay out the most annoying things that YouTubers do that make us laugh out loud. Lots of my subbies have been asking for more skits, so I'm granting them their wish. Link in bio.

Enjoy the video and don't forget to subscribe.

XOXO,

Read this scriptural book a few days ago and the words still resonate with me. They resonate with me because I have a tendency to be extremely hard on myself.

🌞 No one is more critical of Rogan than Rogan. But, these words really gave me comfort.

🌞 I just love when I stumble across God's little love notes to me.

🌞 Hopefully, you all will find comfort in these words. Especially if you have a tendency to beat yourself up over things you have done in the past or what you're doing currently. God knows what He is fojng in your life and what is in store. Don't "risk falling into the trap of counterfeit blessings."

Happy Tuesday, everyone. ☀☀☀

Happy Black History Month. For those who don't kno

Happy Black History Month. For those who don't know, being black is the bomb. Sharing the first part of one of my absolute favourite poems.🖤🖤🖤

Lord, Lord,
Why did You make me Black?
Why did You make me someone
The world wants to hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes;
The color of grimy hands and feet.
Black is the color of darkness;
The color of tire-beaten streets.

Why did you give me thick lips,
A broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did You make me someone
Who receives the hatred stare?

Black is the color of a bruised eye
When somebody gets hurt.
Black is the color of darkness.
Black is the color of dirt.
How come my bone structure's so thick;
my hips and cheeks are high?
How come my eyes are brown
and not the color of the daylight sky?

Why do people think I'm useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do some people see my skin and think I should be abused?

Lord, I just don't understand;
What is it about my skin?
Why do some people want to hate me
And not know the person within?

Black is what people are "listed",
When others want to keep them away.
Black is the color of shadows cast.
Black is the end of the day.

Lord, You know my own people mistreat me;
And I know this just isn't right.
They don't like my hair or the way I look
They say I'm too dark or too light.

Lord, Don't You think it's time
For You to make a change?
Why don't You re-do creation
And make everyone the same?

Stay tuned for God's response. (Instagram won't allow me to post the entire poem because it's so long).

Nobody and I mean nobody serves scalding hot tea like the one and only Wendy Williams. I watched the highly-anticipated Wendy Williams movie on Lifetime and baby, I've got a lot to say about it. Especially what I really think about Wendy's ex-husband, Kevin.
