Big thank you to Jacinta V. White for inviting us to share poetry and space in Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing ‘s Celebration featuring writers included in our anthology!

Lots of harmony and good juju in the room as we each shared our anthology poems, as well as some of our other work. I so enjoyed reading with fabulous fellow poetry contributors Paul Jones , John Haugh , Joe Mills , and Kelsi Folsom

This is just my contribution to a really good day, full of joy!

Merry Happy, Everyone! If you know me, you know that this time of the year is my favorite time!!! Sycamore Hill Missionary Baptist Church has kicked it off in grand style with their Inaugural Gospel Jazz Brunch and Fashion Show! I was honored to be a part of this great celebration; indeed, I was so happy that I brought two of my favorite “ride or die” beloveds, my sons Rafael and Royan, to help me out with my new holiday season poem “Mary’s Christmas!”
I love performing with these guys!!!! Check it out! ❤️❤️❤️
A joyous season to all! 👑🌟✨️🎶
