As the holiday season approaches there is always one person who needs to feel the need to disturb 'Peace on Earth'.....

What better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than to add another meaningless 'problem' to Western culture?

Instead of encouraging his followers to do good deeds,feed the homeless ,be gentle with their fellow man, 'Evangelist' Josh Feuerstein is waging a 'war' against a coffee company about a RED cup...

Yes a cup...I said it..... A RED CUP

The tale of two identities.

As children, most of us are raised to go to college, get good jobs and strive for greatness. As black children, most of us are raised to go to college, be better than 'them' so you can't be denied, strive for greatness and act accordingly in spaces that are not our own.

So yea on top of working full time, trying to navigate through my interpersonal relationships, and processing whatever is about to happen, I had to navigate what this could possibly look like for the last of my education. via GIPHY I was extremely emotional at this point and probably closer to my breaking point that what I honestly wanted to admit.......... I was scared. Scared of the pain, the recovery, the incision, hell how my body would look and feel because I had honestly just adjusted to the initial weight loss and of course dying. While both procedures are fairly simple, its rare that they are done together....So I had no clue what to expect but that I was going to be in pain... I got my tribe together for surgery/recovery plans, bought plenty of wine (they like

So I go back to see the plastic surgeon days following the MRI.... She admits that the mass sitting there needed to be removed and it would be better in the long run for it to be gone for my desired results regarding her surgery. I asked her about doing the surgery with the other surgeon .... She starred at me And I starred at her... 'Well, we could do it, but just so you know this is going to hurt...like a lot and this makes the possibility for infection higher' (Now seeing how I have a HUGE mass on my uterus the size of a child, I would imagine this would hurt) '......But there is no sense in cutting twice, if our schedules can permit this we will do it' I looked up at her and asked 'Well can you get a picture of the skin you are going to cut?
