The Time Has Come Today

It's been a while since I last posted anything. Last Summer was full of heat and humidity, black girls rockin' the Rio Olympic Games, and innocent bloodshed and revenge on the streets of America. Then came November and the election that rocked the world on its axis and a new world order has begun. If there was any illusion that we have a democracy, you have been disillusioned.  So what is an all-American girl to do? Prepare and handle only the business of life that matters.  No more time, energy or thought to trivial games, unfruitful relationships, the past, healing hearts.  Claim healing now and be done with it. Say goodbye to false friends once and for all. Stay strong in mind, finances, spirit and emotionally.  The time has come today.

To give myself some context of the times we're in and to encourage me to think creatively, I turn to science fiction. Whether it's an Octavia Butler novel or an episode of The Twilight Zone, it always informs us of where we're at as a society and where we're going.  

Some movies I encourage anyone to check out are:

Have some discussions with friends and family after a viewing, and especially children if you have any. Sharing ideas and perspectives will be really important on the road ahead.
