iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've been talking to so many Black Canadian and American women in their 30s and 40s who are feeling like we're all working so damn hard to keep our heads above water and not drown, not because we're unskilled or lacking in any way, but because of how the economy is a shitshow right now.

Now, I don't feel like no damn Nicole, but I *am* trying to remind myself that where and when I can, baby girl DO be in control.

I'll tell you what, though -- this Venus retrograde is beating my whole ass 😭

Went away for a week, unplugged, and told myself "just be where your feet are" so that I could stay as present as possible. Glad I did.

Happy to announce that I am the 2026/27 Writer-in-Residence for the Heliconian Club, a club based in Toronto for women in the arts that has been around for over a century. It's gonna be a great year! More to come soon!

The Writers Union of Canada offers a mentorship microgrant to support mentorship between writers, which pays the mentor for their time. I'd love to apply, so if anyone out there would like to be my mentee, feel free to reach out!

Woke up to a rejection from a lit mag and was crushed for a moment, then realized, "Bitch, you're a real-ass writer because what is more writerly than hearing a no and choosing to keep going in your craft?" (I'mma still be sad for a beat but I'm proud of myself for my first fiction submission ❤️)

Depression and anxiety are tag teaming my ass but I'm steel here like Tisha Campbell

There's an area of my self-confidence that has been eroded lately and I need to spend some time figuring it out. I've been second-guessing myself a lot, assuming I'll be misunderstood, or thinking my opinion doesn't matter in the conversations I want to offer them in.

Wouldn't be surprised if this inspired Canadian politicians to create the West Indian Domestic Scheme after WW2

The fitness girlies like to tussle over which is "better": Pilates or weight lifting. As someone who does both, I do not pit two bad bitches against each other. I have gotten incredibly strong from Pilates so I'm not of the school of thought that says it isn't strength training. But and also-

The Writers Union of Canada offers Writers-in-the-Schools grants for writers to, well, go in the schools and do readings/presentations/workshops with the students. I applied for two grants and got one! I'll be using it to put together a special BHM writing workshop at my daughters' school ☺️

The actual clip of him saying this is so awesome. Absolutely brutal and from the sounds of it, deservedly so.

I think I need to have a little cry. Nun too crazy, just something to let some of the pressure out.

My daughters are constantly singing in the house and when I want them to calm it down I tell them "You got a cute lil voice for ning-ning-ning-ning 'round the house - but we both know who the real undiscovered diva is" Follow me for more motherhood tips ☝🏾
