“I cursed God!”: God is Big Enough to Handle Our Feelings

This post is written with permission from a grieving mother who still has hope.   Few things are harder than burying a child. In our finite minds it simply is not the natural order of life. Earlier this year, that is exactly what Sheree had to do when her 19 year-old daughter Dede was killed…

For Marcus and Other Men Who Inhabit Black Bodies

Marcus and I go to the same church. I met him 10 years ago when my husband was called as the pastor. He was in high school at the time and was memorable for several reasons: mainly that he is over six feet. As a teenager, he was smart, mannerable and funny. He did play…

3 Reasons I Don’t Want to Live in a Colorblind Society

I recently served on a committee to address the diversity of an organization.  The head of the organization and the diversity committee was a white man.  I believe he truly was sincere in his desire to achieve greater racial and class diversity.  As he shared his hopes for the committee and organization, he made a…

Marriage Chronicles: Simple Solitude

Eighteen years ago today, at 2:00 p.m. I stood in the St. James United Methodist Church in Kansas City, Missouri surrounded by family and friends and said, “I do” and “I will.” I wish I could remember what I thought marriage would be like on that day.  I am sure it was something unrealistic and…

Finding My Center In the Midst of Chaos

For the last several years, I’ve had to deal with a toxic person.  You have probably had your share as well.  Toxic people are usually family members, co-workers, church or PTA members with whom you must interact—even if it is on a limited basis.  I am not talking about the person with the quirky personality…

Prince - Memorial Wall

Two Lessons Prince’s Legacy Can Teach Us to Speak Life!

Prince fans have spent the last several weeks mourning the death of this cultural icon.  I have continued to enjoy Prince’s music as an adult, but he is embedded in the soundtrack of my youth. When I learned of his death, I thought about my best friend Erika and how we would spend hours talking…

Millennial Entitlement: Did They Get It From Us?

A couple of years ago I started posting Facebook status updates called <insert blank stare> when I would share absolutely ludicrous statements colleges students I teach make and my fantasy reaction to those statements, which was to simply give them a blank stare.  These statements usually come at the end of the semester when those…

Single in Love

Sistah, Speak Life!: The Single in Love, Part I – by Tamara Gibbs

Though I am married, I have many single friends whom I love and are dear to me.  For the overwhelming majority of my childhood, my mother was a divorced, single woman. I got married in my late 20s, so I do remember what it is like to be constantly asked about your love life from…
