Black Lives Matter and the Black experience

-
Dear readers,


The year 2020 has been a world wind.  So many things have happend . One thing that has come to the brink and had broken. So many lives of African Americans have been lost. The lives lost has sparked and eignited a fire that has always been burning. POC and allies alike are saying black lives matter. when that is said we are not saying that any other lives are any less than our own. Just that we matter and we will no longer be slient and take it in silence. If you don`t know I am African American. This is a movement that is a everyday thing of my life. I can not talk for every one when it to a life of African Americans. I can only speak to my own life.  I have spoke out but have not been as vocal as I could be. So far many of my friends and loveones have been supportive. Sadly, there have been a few in the life that I had hoped would be supportive of me but it was not to be. My whole life I have been diffrent. As I am in the middle and don`t quite fit in the by the  book definition of what many assume a POC is supposed to act like.

Flash forward to the year 2022. I started this post in the thick of 2020. So many things were happing and changing. Some for the better and some of the worse. They say 2020 is hindsight yet it was but was not at the same time. I myself started a journey of wanting to take better care of myself and put my goal in to overdrive. I let go of one dream of gaining my Masters degree or put a pin into it. There is not a day that does not go by without me thinking of the things that happened in 2020. The outcry of see us for who we are . see our skin color and what make us different. celebrate with us. I had not realized how much I masked . I wanted to be seen fully and I needed to embrace all of me. so I started that journey. All while being in the longest relationship of my life do date.  Things, did come to a end this year but no love is lost. we both needed different things and its ok. Its more of a growing pain. I think I will start YouTube again and just make little short videos but I'm not sure. my podcast is enough for now. n this post was to be about my life and the black experience. I could sit and write about that but it won't really be enough . just words on a screen.  It is a experience that is different to each person of color and how they view the world. So why write on my little piece . maybe another time I will write.


with love Momo

MAC order review

<p dir=ltr>This is the first time I have order from them online. I usually just go to the mall were its located in the mall. We don't have a MAC store in Oklahoma! I placed my order Friday and it arrived yesterday. It came in a plain black box. The lipsticks I ordered came in their boxes and wrapped in black tissue paper. I thought the box was pretty big for just two lipsticks but it's all good. My order consisted of via glam Nikki and Arichie's girls betty's  oh oh oh! I was suprised to see how sheer the betty lipstick but I still like the look it has. It sheer but has lots of sparkles give a subtle color to the lips.I have not worn the Viva Glam yet but you can see on the swatch on my hand it will be nice bright pink. Overall I am very pleased with my order. I have purchased from MAC before and will continue to do so.

Your vote, Your choice, Your Story

 Dear Readers, In light of the Presidential election that has currently taken place, I have deiced to go out way out of my comfort zone and write this post. This election has been one to remember. I am not here to talk about who you voted for or why you chose not to vote but my story in a way. We have this crazy notion that our vote doesn't count. Yes, in the grand overview of things it may not count for much but it still counts for something. I am not pointing fingers for those who didn`t vote or who you voted for . For that is your right to do so. I had a conversation with a friend at work  a few month back  if he was going to vote or not this year. He told me, he was not and he even explained his reason why. I am not telling you his reason because I can not speak for him. I understood his way of thinking but it is very different to my own. For myself , I am the odd one out in a way. Here, I  stand as a African- American woman with the odds stacked against me if we lived in ano
