F7LN: Fredi Nyashia's 7 Loves..Nstruments of Nspiration

The Vulnerability of Black Men

I remember the first time I saw my dad shed tears. I was 11 years old and laying in a hospital bed. A few days before, I had fallen off my bike and unbeknownst to us for days the impact of my handle bar hitting my side has punctured my liver and I was bleeding […]

A Deep Breath…4 Years Later

Well, I guess it’s that time. For the last week or so, it’s been increasingly on my mind…oh, how 4 years can seem like only 4 days or 4 minutes… There are certain visuals and emotions from then that are permanently seared in my mind & heart. Though I think of my dad very often, […]

31 Day Self-Love Challenge

I recently embarked on a 31-day “Self Love” Challenge, which has been pretty exciting. These types of challenges can embody pampering oneself, self-affirmations, ways to reinforce confidence, and a variety of other things. I decided to look at the ways that I show love and do things for other people (that I rarely do for […]

The Power, Beauty & Love of Black Sisterhood

Last week, along my Facebook feed was a link to a media outlet discussing the recent end of what had been termed a 17 year “feud” between Jada Pinkett-Smith and Gabrielle Union. It’s always interesting how the media & people can spin things to diminish the relationships between Black women. In this clip (at 3:01) […]

Cherishing Another Year.. [VIDEO]

This week on Friday, I pray to celebrate another year as the sun sets on the blessing of this past one and ushers in the promise of a new & glorious one.  Ever since first hearing the song in this video, each time I hear it I would often think about my brother, Darrick, who […]

To: Riley, Tanayea, Tarshana, Taquara, Maya, Trinity, Anayah, Kelsey, Olivia, Akeria, Kyra, Terica and I dedicate this to all the little girls, teens and women whose hearts I’d long to protect and encapsulate from hurt.

Higher Than Happiness 

Sorry, it has been a while since I’ve posted, but I do try to focus on posting when I really feel led & inspired about a certain topic, event, experience, and the like.  It has been a few months and then something that happened tonight sparked me to share what manifested.  It’s been a while […]

Will YOU Accept the “Create Our Village” Pledge?

With all the outcry for the violence that we are seeing in the world, our communities  (particularly low income communities & those predominantly people of color), we all can choose to play a role in transforming our current state. I’ve written various posts to uplift and encourage us all to take action no matter our […]

Do Black Lives Matter? Staking Our Claim

I don’t think it was an accident that this week I came across this video from 2013 of Michael Eric Dyson presenting the “Status of Black Males in American Society” on Capitol Hill.  Listening to his points inspired me to reflect on two of the major issues that seem to be plaguing cities, communities, and […]
