State of the Union 2024
If I had to pick one word to describe 2023, it would be “rejuvenating”. Not only did I finally get the opportunity to step back from work completely for a few months, I also started to live healthier overall and make solid moves towards the person I want to become. 2023 Highlights Stepped back from […]
State of the Union 2023
2022 was a year of rest, relaxation and leisure. Now it’s time to get back to work. Here’s what happened, and what I’m planning for 2023.
State of the Union 2022
I’m notorious for my delinquency and procrastination, but even I must admit that publishing a State of the Union – aka my annual “year in review/new year plans” blog post – in March is pushing the boundaries a tad. However, after the very eventful last few months – which I’ll get into below – I […]
If you work for a man, work for him
I’ve always said I never want a husband or kids. And I found it a cruel joke that the universe saw it fit to give me – not my family-oriented siblings who all have spouses and kids – the responsibility of taking care of my elderly dad. I’ll admit, at first I wasn’t too happy […]

About those racist sinks in Mexico…
Want to know what we mean by “systemic racism”? The system is so racist that even your sinks are discriminating against black folk. Sinks? Did you say sinks? Yes, your freaking bathroom sinks!
They call me Stacey, that’s not my name
A name is a very powerful thing, a core part of our identity, and we know how important it is to others. So why the hell do people keep calling me Stacey?
State of the Union 2019
2018 was the year of rebuilding. It started out looking like my last year on earth, but somehow miraculously turned into the year I finally gained some peace within. Here are the highlights.
The time I almost got kidnapped in Mexico…well, sort of
Have you ever done something that seemed pretty normal while you’re doing it, but afterward think…holy cow, that could have gone so terribly wrong! That’s how I met Maggie…
