I may be a writer, but I have and always will be an avid romance reader.

I feel like I've been the definition of M.I.A, but I am doing #NaNoWriMo! I have a new series roughly out lined, and the first book plotted out🙌🏾. I'm a pantser by nature, so this plot could be thrown by the wayside at any moment.

I for one, KNOW I need to step my winter game up. @ShekinahRagland has some valuable tips! #selfimprovement

Mental health is real! Check out Ashley's story... matter of fact, check out all of the power charts on @ShekinahRagHQ's website. So many stories of #strength, #empowerment, and #perseverance.

Why did this take me in?!😂😂😂

An elite matchmaking agency was not how Brendon intended to find love. With his nosey-loud mouth assistant along for the ride what could go wrong? Everything... but he just may find love was never far away. #own #irmc #poc #bbw #CarinaPitch

They have 1 thing in common-their rival family businesses. Ayla doesn't back down from a challenge, not even out selling Callum to prove her family has the best HVAC business in town. She plays to win, but his persistence may change the rules of the game. #own #irmc #carinapitch

It's emotionally taxing to have my book(s) banned. But not because they're my books, but because all I can think about is the message it sends to the Black kids who see themselves in my books. They deserve to have their stories told whether it makes you comfortable or not.

Been traveling going on 16 hours. We were supposed to be home like 7 hours ago. This will be my first and last time flying americanair. So many balls were dropped today.
