Hey Music! Thanks for the therapy!
My baby Muzik Junqie is 5 years old… Where has the time gone?! And not only that but so much has happened today (January 20th). Firstly, we officially have a new president and vice-president in the White House. Second, I had an article published for The Source, which I go into more detail in this…
When it comes to this past year, I honestly don’t want to think about it anymore than I have to. Experiencing it was plenty enough, and I am ready for it to be put in the past. I know that we still don’t know what 2021 is going to bring, but I am trying to…
The more that I realize that we are not getting any closer to having live music again, the more I try to hold on to my past concert experiences. I’ve already mentioned NSYNC and Usher, see links below for those. But now, it’s time to talk about B2K, my experience seeing them as a teenager…
I originally wasn’t going to do an update like this right now, but after posting one on my Instagram and realizing that we’ve passed the 2020 halfway mark, I guess I should, right? To say that this year, especially the last 9 months or so, has been some of the hardest times of my life,…
Today, as this is published, I should be in Fort Worth, Texas, getting ready to see Monsta X, but of course that was postponed. Because of that, I continue to think about all of the other concert plans that I had for this year. I have had to watch them all get cancelled, rescheduled, or…
I haven’t said a whole lot about what has been going on since the murder of George Floyd (Rest in Peace), especially when it comes to how it affects me, personally. Everyone is chanting “ALL Black Lives Matter” but there is still a lot of division within the Black community: against lighter complexions, black women,…
I have been holding onto this story for YEARS, so, other than those extremely close to me, most haven’t heard this story. With things kind of being at a standstill, especially for concerts, I thought why not reflect on one of my favorite concert experiences. I know that I have mentioned NSYNC before, the initial…
I have written about mental health before, including stories of my own struggles as well as some of my favorite artists who suffer also. Revisiting this topic is always a pretty sensitive and taboo thing but it needs to be talked about. Many of us still have to deal with that lingering “seasonal depression”. But…
So many things in the news and on social media inspired this post. The first being the loss of Kobe Bryant and his baby girl Gianna aka Gigi yesterday (Sunday 1/26). The second being a post that Maurice Moore reposted on Twitter – called “Self Care When the News is Difficult”. The third inspiration was…
Happy New Year to all of my beautiful readers! I had to deal with some losses in my family during the holidays so I decided to take a break from blogging and posting for a while. I am not exactly back to 100% but I am gradually getting back to that and writing regularly again…
