I Was Willing to KILL for A Man That Didn’t Want Me!
She ranted that I should never pull a gun without using it. She also said if she pulled out her gun, she definitely would! As she continued to make threats, I thought to myself “I have to kill her BEFORE she kills me”! With a gun in my pocket and my finger on the trigger, I was prepared to …
Dear RESEARCH TRIANGLE CHARTER ACADEMY, What Happened?
Dear Research Triangle Charter Academy, When my oldest daughter started kindergarten in 2001, I felt like the luckiest mom in town. The atmosphere of the school was such that, her dad and I felt like we were receiving a private education experience at no charge.

Why I Was Banned from My Children’s School
~Shemeka Michelle I walked in the door confused and concerned. I had just received a message that my daughter had been kicked out of class but received no other details.

The Miseducation of Black Students
~Shemeka Michelle Recently I had the opportunity to attend “A Walk through Black History” at my children’s school. Some of their presentations were very good as they explained who created the cotton gin, the first traffic light system and even who the first black female senator of our state was.

The Job of SuperMOM is Overrated so…I QUIT!!
~Shemeka Michelle As I wash the dishes for the third time in one week (although that’s my oldest daughter’s chore), I glance over at the TV that’s full of tiny fingerprints.

I Felt My Mother’s Pain
NGSC: Kenita Stubbs I’m a mess right now! I pray that I’m able to successfully complete my expressions tonight. Brace yourself because this may be the longest blog I have ever written. Please bear with me. I have been moving and I’m blessed to have a bigger space for less. I’ve been in good spirits aside from being sore and …
We Had Sex for 15 Years and We Still Can’t Communicate
It amazes me that men and women can marry, swap spit and have sex for years then end up disliking each other. What blows my mind even more is when two people decide they are no longer compatible; somehow it means they shouldn’t communicate. I think that is complete bullshit!
