The “Bitch” in the house!

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

I have an article in the current (summer) issue of Bitch magazine. The article is about why black women don’t tend to write “momoirs” (mommy memoirs).

Top Secret (but not really)

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I don’t write my deep dark secrets here on this blog, but I still have to be mindful of my ever-aging and online-reading offspring…and, now, mindful of potential employers, as well. There’s nothing I write that I’m ashamed of, nor do I misrepresent myself here or In Real Life. However, instinct tells me […]
