To Everyone, especially artist here is your witty, weekly inspiration to stay sane in this crazy world. 
Step One - Don't vote for Kamala Harris if you live in the United States of America! Her economic policy will have you broker than a joke. She wants to overtax existing homeowners and business owners to finance her proposed economic plan. In my first episode of my podcast, I spoke about how MANY AMERICANS are on the fence about all the Presidential candidates. The propaganda this election cycle is so thick and irrelevant to the actual things we care about that I pointed out what the 2 front running candidates - Kamala Harris and Donald Trump need to do to actually win voting American's trust.

So I went on a deep dive for the past week to get more information of what both front runners, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, White House and presidential term would like. Let me first point out that this is THE FIRST election cycle in 30 years that lacked one candidate having 60% or higher of the popular vote or election vote margin. Since 1989 with George H.W. Bush and his 60.9% presidential approval rating to Bill Clinton at 60.6% to Barack Obama fluctuated from 69% to averaging 47.9% and after him NO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR PRESIDING PRESIDENT has obtained 60% of the country's trust and approval. The highest rating former President Trump got was 49% approval rating and that was also the highest rating President Biden got, however, Biden has not been at 49% since October 2020. He has dropped down to 41%.

With the advances in technology and an endless news cycles, we have seen the greatest voting shift since the Nixon, Ford and Carter eras. This means roughly 60% of Americans don't like and don't want to support the people who are being presented to them as the leaders of their country. This was interesting to me. So I decided to take an unbiased look at what we as Americans are being presented with and what is actually going on with these candidates. 

I have to admit due to habit and programming I've voted democratic for 20 years but I became Republican in 2020 when I realized the party I was apart of no longer matched my actual values and goals for life. A former mobster who also converted to Republican said, "he only used to vote for democrats because they were the easiest to bribe and corrupt". When you inform yourself about their goals for this country, the plans they tell you they have for this country versus the real plan they execute for this country, you suddenly awaken from the media slumber you've been put under. 

In two previous blogs, I spoke on "The Art of Paying Attention" and "Never Being Too Old To Learn Something New" in my "Learn To Call Judgement" blog. Taking accountability for my previous voting patterns, I admit that I was amongst the fold of the undecided voters this election cycle. I had the worst years of my life during Trump's first term. It was so traumatic and I experienced so much loss and violation that I voted for Biden-Harris back in 2020 to give them a shot and see what they could do with the country. Although, I had better luck getting employment and housing than in the Biden-Harris term. Their government spending is WRECKING this country and this economy. Regular Americans are bleeding money and getting NOTHING or very little in return for being good Americans - paying their bills and their taxes and that sucks.

Victim mentality isn't how I roll, so I decided to inform myself with the things I don't know and the first thing I learned is that there are 5 people running for Presidential office and not 2. Earlier in this election cycle Bobby Kennedy Jr. caught my attention and I was very interested in learning what he intended to do for this country. One of the reason, many people became Democrats was due to his uncle who held a record breaking 70.1 % approval rating that was not achieved by his predecessors and only duplicated by his then Vice President turned REPLACEMENT (sideeye cause this is what the KAMALA HARRIS campaign appears to be duplicating except for shooting the face off of Biden, they aimed for Trump so she would have no REAL competition) Lyndon B Johnson. Johnson is famously credited with changing the values of Black Americans to baby daddy, baby mama government dependents. This epidemic was non-existent before he got in office. 

So I went down a rabbit hole of fact checking and Biden is credited with creating more jobs than Trump BUT there is a scandal about Biden lying about the actual number of jobs created. Trump's record was consistent and without the sabotaging of life and resources ala Covid, he would have left office with the same consistency. Biden and Kamala entered office on the WAVE of Trump accomplishments and then funded a war in Ukraine we didn't really need to bother with, let anybody and everybody in our country when our neighbors - Canada and Mexico WOULD NEVER be so leniant. Inflation shot up and somewhat stabilized but is STILL HIGHER than when Trump left office and when you unbiasely watch interviews and stats Trump is the only candidate who has the ability to WIN the race and actually has policies and solutions Americans want. Jill Stein is running a very respectable campaign I must say, however, it will struggle to get the majority vote because our country has long sold out the validity of our elections to corporations. Stein admits the ideas the Green Party creates always ends getting adapted, changed and credited with the Democratic Party. Maybe she should try making a coalition with the Republican party.

Cornel West is also running for President and I found out about that this week because it gets little to no news coverage. His entire campaign is "Abandon Harris 2024" solely because he is a lifelong democrat but disagrees with the policies promoted by the Kamala Harris campaign. The problem is Democrats have spent way too much time creating all this racial tension and race baiting and running behind Kamala to garner that same support that made Obama appealing - a good looking, intelligent black man with Charisma and charm. Except now there are two black candidates - Kamala may be more visually appealing but completely empty and unprepared to lead anybody to the corner store let alone the country. Cornel West is more knowledgeable about the issues and wants to take an love approach  - "love your neighbor as yourself" to his policy making. It's a great outlook, HOWEVER, will just revert us back to 2020. Cornel West's running mate was a co-founder of some sort in the "Black Lives Matter" organization and that was a full on money grab for black people to come up by profiting off black pain. They did not break that money down and give back to anyone affected by police brutality or systemic racism. It was all an ACT! With the new incarceration of Diddy, we will definitely see a decrease of these PUBLICIZED horrific killings and violation of rights.

Then again maybe not cause what we are up against this election cycle are greedy people who want to abuse their power to prolong their political lives and careers. These people don't care who the squash or ruin in the process. Kamala has a record of being a bare minimum girl. From her record as a DA in California State all the way to her CURRENT POSITION of Vice President. She went from getting $70,000/month to work 15 hours per week and ended up only showing up to work 2 times per month and wants to keep running this tired narrative of growing up as a middle class kid when she's 60 and had 40 years of favors to keep her well above the middle class. Nothing she has presented has panned out to be true or a working solutions to our current issues. I think she KNOWS THAT and that's why she had Megan twerking at a policial rally and why she cannot ever answer any questions like EVER. Her plans to TAX MONEY we "have the potential make" is something that is NOT getting enough press and not being explained to people who don't understand how taxes work but are expected to pay them. Everything about her campaign just spells GREED. 

Since she don't wanna go to work, she just wants to live and control OUR MONEY. That's her whole gameplan. She is VICE PRESIDENT NOW and JILL BIDEN is sitting in for the President and running his cabinet meetings, HUH? Never in HISTORY was that acceptable. The VICE PRESIDENT is supposed to run and handle ALL PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES in the president's absence. She CAN'T EVEN DO HER JOB NOW but she wants four more years of NOT DOING HER JOB! I think not. I've been a voting, tax-paying citizen since the year 2000. My life matters. My vote matters and I will not support slimey black people further destroying our country and more black lives SOLELY because they want to be an elite negro (eyeroll).

So your takeway this week to stay sane in this crazy world is STAY INFORMED and STAND ON BUSINESS. You may completely disagree with everything I just typed. It may not appeal to you. That's okay! STAND ON BUSINESS! Make sure you are informed about what's really going on behind the scenes. Don't just blindly accept anything. DO RESEARCH! Cause the RESEARCH PROVES that we are being lied to by the very people who need us to keep this economy and society going. 

Knowledge is valuable that's why it gets hidden. Once you have knowledge, it can't be taken be taken away. So as you get informed and you align your goals and values with what you are learning, remember my previous blog and make sure you call judgement on bullshit!

To Everyone, especially artists, here is your weekly, witty, inspiration to stay sane in this crazy world. Today's blog falls on my 42nd Birthday. I'm reflective. I'm grateful and a bit anxious to really make this year count. 

I've made a personal venture back into being a Zumba Instructor. Dancing is a delight of mine. It brought me great comfort after my divorce. It is also is an excellent form of exercise so it reinforces my well-being. Making my way back into things that bring me great joy has been the ultimate shield against all the noise of things that are draining or unproductive.

This week, I spent some time in solitude and was reminded about Ecclesiates 1:14 "I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun and behold, all is vanity and striving after the wind". 

The Book of Ecclesiates was written by King Solomon, Israel's wealthiest king. King Solomon has been famously remembered as "the wisest king of Israel". In his latter years of life, he penned Ecclesiates. It was his judgment of everything he acquired and experienced in life. He concluded, it basically doesn't matter what you achieve or accumulate, when you die is all over. He alluded to the idea of "not being so attached to things because eventually everything fades". Interesting enough, he didn't say "Love is pointless". He never alluded to the receiving or giving of love being a pointless act.

So your takeway for this week, to stay sane in this crazy world is "Wrap yourself in a blanket of love". Surround yourself with loving energy as much as possible. Starting first with you - how you talk to yourself and treat yourself. The extended out to what you allow from others and whether or not you are giving loving energy out. One way, I've personally focused on this practice is the SECOND I'm experiencing something unpleasant or uncomfortable, I pause within myself to think "how did I attract this to me? and what is this situation trying to teach me right now? Is it a test on whether I have mastered something I should have? or is it a banal coincidence?"

Taking time to check-in with myself on this level has strengthen my boundaries with others. When there is no need to enforce a boundary, I contribute comedy and compliments. I'm making it practice to stay as light as possible because ultimately, Ecclesiastes 1:14 is VERY TRUE. I have lived long enough to see things I deeply prioritized not be half as important as it once was when I was ignorant or inexperienced. I've lost so many things over the years, I can say with full confidence it's the memories attach to the things I lost that I miss more than the thing (place or person) itself. 

The beauty of life is that we have the ability to make new memories until our life ends. If you are in constant pursuit of joy, beautiful memories and the sweetness of simplicity and practically, then you have plenty of fuel to create a wonderful life for yourself - despite what everyone else is doing. Chances are things are overhyped and exagerrated and you really aren't missing out on nothing. Focus on your joy and creating a blanket of love for yourself. You owe that to you and only a hater would try to block you from doing so ... they're always miserable and mad about something so nothing to worry your pretty head about!

For everyone, especially artists, here is your weekly, witty inspiration to stay sane in a crazy world. Welcome back to the conversation this is THE PERFECT TIME to plug my previous blog "Stranger Than Fiction" cause what I discovered on Facebook last week is EXACTLY THAT.

I THOUGHT I had major problems being undermined due to my anatomy  (my big booty and slim waist). For 30 years, I've been HYPERSEXUALIZED without me even having to SPEAK. The irony of that is I have a high IQ and was a nerdy,backpacking hip-hop head since my adolescence to my mid-20s. I never even owned a bikini til age 29 - and I made a YouTube Vlog about it.

I became a stand-up comedian at 23 years old and thoroughout my entire career, there was envy and weirdness from women who didn't find themselves attractive and felt no one else did either. There were also numerous sexual advances (there STILL are to this day as recently as 5 last NIGHT lol) by men who liked what they saw and chose to diminish me.

I've conditioned myself to give them the short end of my attention span or "fake listen" and smile at them. Then there are power hungry men who decide they are God and want to punish me for being a woman they cannot have their way with me

Over the past 7 YEARS, this has been taken to SUCH A DESPICABLE LEVEL that I, a Black woman (woman of African descent created in the USA after slavery got abolished for the politically correct folks out there) has had my entire brand and web presence tarnished by catfishers misrepresenting and then my public reactions to it online. The most annoying and despicable part is BLACK PEOPLE who capitalized on Black pain and didn't do ANYTHING for Black People were INVOLVED in it! They stooped so low that they resulting in mail tampering, impersonation and smear campaigns to blogs to have MY NAME represent EVERYTHING ELSE BUT WHAT I REALLY AM - a comedian, a scholar, a visionary, a workaholic, an ambivert, a trailblazer doing everything she can to be pleasing in God's sight even if it conflicts with certain standards of mankind. 


To add insult to injury, some white lady pretending to me on my old Facebook page ERASING and DISCOUNTING 17 YEARS of HARDWORK AND SACRIFICE WHILE people tamper with my mail and try to put things on my record that are NOT TRUE to play around with my narrative like it's nothing. Like MY LIFE IS A GAME to some distorted creep with a wack personality. 


The question is WHOSE EGO is the false narrative about me for? WHY don't they have something better to do with their mind, money and time? Many of the people who GROUPED UP (eyeroll) to make things like what happened to my Facebook page occur is because they had a financial interest in making me disappear. Having to confront the reality of that is a lot to deal with.


How have a dealt with it? Through remembering the promises of God over my life, prayer, scripture and a quote by Lyndsey Gallant. Gallant is quoted recalling her therapist visit in which her therapist said "Your anger is the part of you that LOVES YOU" and that is your takeaway for this week to stay sane in this crazy world. 


People who hurt you and repeatedly hurt you MEANT TO DO THAT. It's not an accident! Part of self-love is remembering that it was not an accident and believe what they show you. When people cannot take accountability for what they've done to you, they will always deny and gaslight you. Your job is to reject that and love on yourself more in spite of what they do. 


People (especially people outside of the situation) WILL GASLIGHT YOU and tell you, your anger in response to being violated is not classy or unnecessary. They may even gaslight you by saying your anger is pointless and ineffective. This is a perfect time to plug my previous blog, "Learn To Call Judgement". Letting things slide or staying silent is much more ineffective than continuing to accept abuse and let people benefit from the abuse go unnoticed and unscathed. Anger is your signal that something is wrong and if it continues to be ignored something WILL BREAK or not operate properly.


Anger is your cue to leave or advocate for yourself. Anger is the reminder that you matter too! You matter MORE than the illusions people who cannot authentically be themselves cast and project because they are hiding behind a mask or persona.
You have unique FINGERPRINTS and that was no accident just like the mistreatment you endured. They MEANT to do that. Recognize it, address it so you can move forward with peace and joy.
