Embracing My Natural Crown
Hi there! 🌿 I’m so excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet — a space where natural hair is celebrated, explored, and loved in all its b / since year]. What started as a simple decision to embrace my roots has become one of the most empowering experiences of my life. Along the way, I’ve learned that natural hair isn’t just about curls, coils, or kinks — it’s about identity, confidence, and self-love. Here, I’ll be sharing tips, product recommendations, routines, and personal stories — the wins, the challenges, and the lessons that come with caring for natural hair.

150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking
Dr. AY Heath Dec 23, 2024
Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Victimized by my own black
Jahnae Nelson Sep 13, 2025

Key-Kee Catdine
"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."

Born Between Two Days
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

💥 The Hot Pocket Jump Scare
Just when she thought she was safe, relaxing with her hot pocket and Lifetime movie, her husband pulled off the perfect jump scare — sending her fork flying, her heart racing, and her hot pocket doing an Olympic flip before landing right back on the plate!

If you've ever had a car, you've probably run into some kind of issue whether it be small or much bigger. Aliana is no exception, and although she has had her fair share of car troubles, this one by far the most bothersome.
Magickandie's Recipes~ Mushroom Bread
My husband and I love to cook and have a bunch of fun when doing it together. Sometimes it's competitive between us, like seeing who can outcook the other. Once, we had a rib cook-off. Other times, it is to take care of each other, such as when I make him chicken soup when he is sick. I will put up the recipe for my broth and then the soup soon. But mostly, it's cooking together to spend time with each other and being creative in our cooking adventures. We pull some great collabs.
✨ I Have Seen the Light: Standing Up, Standing Strong, and Staying True to God
For too long, I confused kindness with silence. I thought being patient and forgiving meant letting people use me, but God has opened my eyes. I’ve seen the light — and I’m not living in the shadows anymore. I’m no longer giving my energy away for free. My time and heart are worth something because they’re gifts from God. Even when surrounded by lies, fake believers, and deceit, I will keep my faith strong. My kindness is still here, but it’s no longer weakness — it’s strength wrapped in grace. I’ve learned to stand tall, walk with truth, and let God’s light protect my peace. Those meant to stay will respect it. Those who don’t will fade away. I’ve finally realized: my faith, my worth, and my peace are non-negotiable. 💛

"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years.

Here is a brief, compelling description for your Vocal Media article, based on the introduction you wrote: **The Algorithm, The Announcer, and the Avalanche of Hate: What 5,000 Views Taught Me About Racism and Fatphobia Online** My YouTube video about the HBCU dance team called "the new face of Ozempic" went viral, but the 5,000 views brought a torrent of venom. This is a post-mortem on the digital fallout: an exploration of the hateful comments, the suspension of FAMU announcer **Joe Bullard**, and the chilling lessons learned when online virality amplifies deeply entrenched **racism and fat-shaming**. A case study on the true cost of online engagement.
