My daughters and I

Lord, I thank you for allowing me to live to see this day!! Oh, what a glorious day it is!! For the last 23 years of my life I have been a single parent or single mother, but thank you, Lord, today I can officially declare that I am just Single! While I will be forever their mother, I no longer have to mother them. I am so glad to see both my children come to this stage in their journey of life where they no longer need to parent them and I am so glad to take on my new role as a partner in their destiny!! It has definitely been a long rugged road that I somehow managed to have it look envious, but so far from it. My children and I have been through a lot, but we have managed to keep it together and come out more refined every time. Even though we have not had a lot of support we learned to lean on each other and embrace our flaws! So to my two beautiful, talented, smart, brave, and strong young ladies, hats off to your future and mine...big things are about to happen! I can feel it...God will see us through, He always has! Thank you, Jesus!

A Visit to Toronto’s First Black Church: Happy Black History Month

By
Faith is a huge part of Black culture. On the last Sunday of Black History Month, I took the liberty of visiting Toronto’s first Black church and establishment—First Baptist Church.  It was a true jubilee. Rev. Dr. Wendell Gibbs's message was powerful and deeply moving. He reminded us of our identity in Christ, declaring, “Black history didn’t begin with slavery or emancipation but in the Genesis beginning.” He also spoke of “The anguish of our ancestors… those who died [so we could have] peace… May humanity never again perpetrate such injustice against humanity. [And] we… vow[ed] to uphold this.” The service reached a pivotal moment when the congregation joined the choir in singing: I’m no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God. Founded in 1826 by formerly enslaved people who sought refuge in Canada, First Baptist Church has long stood as a pillar of the Black community. While the original congregation laid its foundation nearly two centuries ago, the current building, complet...

A Personal Sunday Reflection on the Three Stages of Life: Rest in Peace, My Brother.

By
A personal Sunday reflection of my brother’s life and legacy, in what I call the three stages of life—birth and development, the pursuit and the chase, and sickness and dying— illuminating the gift of mortality. Rest in peace, my brother. Life often demands reflection in its quietest moments. It's no wonder some people are always busy. The recent passing of my brother, Donovan, brought me to one of these moments—confronted by the stillness of an early morning ten days after his departure, I had an epiphany . In that silence, I considered the arc of life, its inevitable stages, and the truths that define us. From the beginning of birth to the vigour of youth and its pursuits of adulthood, to the finale—the fragility of aging and dying. I contemplated that life unfolds in three distinct but interconnected phases: birth and development, the pursuit, and sickness and dying.   Birth and Development: The Foundation of Self Life begins with hope and infinite potential. Each birth represe...
