Forgot to mention! I finally have a job! And not to sound corny, but seriously I would not have it were it not for aaaalllll the struggle I've endured over these past six years, but especially since fall 2023 and since spring 2025. Yay! I LOVE IT. Not writing, not creative, so I get to save that up!

Going to start looking at my life as a game of numbers. Applying for about five grants a week, pitching five articles, submitting five stories, creating five substantial social media posts, maybe even five posts on my website. Faith without works is dead, they say!

Applied for my first grant for The New Orleans East Sunshine Weekly last night and am applying for two more today! Also asked my landlord if I could please pay my rent in two installments of $750. Praying he says yes, because Lord I would hate to get a notice on the door. God always provides!

Big fan of God, we all know that. His ways are better than our ways! However. I’d like to kindly tell Him that the whole late in the midnight hour schtick is getting so old. Especially when He keeps protecting me from steady work.

Life’s a paradox for me, though I know God will provide. Yes, I moderated an Essence panel and was on the news talking about great restaurants to visit w/a press trip soon! No, I dunno how I'll pay my $1,500 rent and utilities during this work dry spell. God has kept me though, and always will.

TBH most of these local media outlets shouldn't be reporting on the schools, because they are sponsoring their events etc. Since they are, they don't dig deep at all. Thank God for Lamplighter! She gets the scoop frfr.

This! I work in tech. AI could be useful if we did it in a way that prioritized sustainability and reduced the cost to humanity. But, capitalism wants its profits, and that isn’t a justification to use it, IMO.

Spent about FOUR HOURS today tryna set up my printer on my new computer, so that I could scan my IRS 501(c)(3) document so I can get listed on Guidestar. It's interesting that the IRS mail is more up to date than the website. Anyway. Did it. But later than I wanted, so I'm waiting on Guidestar.
