Proceed with Caution🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve been waiting for the perfect topic of discussion to bring my blog back, and I truly thought it would be something pro-Black…

Nope.

I’ll excuse myself now because I’m heated. And if you prefer not to witness my language spiral out of control, you should stop reading now.🤷🏽‍♀️ Kinda like I haven’t actually watched the 8:46 of footage that rocked the world. It’s a personal choice. Make…

My Journey with Naked Journeys

I’d like to take a moment to thank my Facebook friends who were seemingly a major part of this “social experiment” of some sorts! You guys are the real MVP’s!

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I’d like you to take a journey with me a little further into my Garden of Eden…

Getting to know-and more importantly-love myself, has been a journey to really understand my sexuality. And when…

When my bestie posted this Mother’s Day card, it triggered a beautifully painful healing for us both.

Moments of Vulnerability with Miss Melanin Monroe

As we grow, we begin to see things differently. We begin to understand how the generation before us made some of those decision we deemed as “questionable” a few years back. We begin to understand how choosing the lesser of two evils isn’t always the best option, but the most necessary.

Recently someone I loved very much violated me. This person, selfishly, attempted to defile my entire…

The Naked Perspective of a Freed Prisoner of Self

The Naked Perspective of a Freed Prisoner of Self

Imagine if your every sin became tattooed on the outside of your skin, as you committed it.

Imagine if someone asked you something, and you had NO CHOICE but to respond with the truth. Every single time.

Imagine if the ONLY option was to calmly express your every emotion, as you were enduring the thick of them.

Imagine having to ALWAYS take into account the varying possible outcomes.

Imagine…

Wealth is Coming to a Hood Near You!

First let me start off by saying, I really, REALLY miss EFFING blogging! But here lately I’ve run into some huge challenges in my own personal life that has made it a bit difficult to keep up with blogging.😔 The good news is, my life has gotten so busy with opportunities and ideas that I’ve actually had to start using my daily planner EVERYDAY! Lol!🤯😰😂

But in all seriousness, I’m only here for…

Naked Chronicles: Shooting Shots

Dear Lord,

You know sex is a large part of my struggles, and here lately I’ve been sinking some great shots. I mean…

Just take a look at this goddess agree to let me take her out for drinks and rub on her booty!👀 (THIS Beauty honestly has me feeling like the great Reverend Leon Lonnie Love!🤣😍🤷🏽‍♀️)

Please help me keep my inner horned beast leashed, and enjoy the company of this Queen fully! She…

Naked Chronicles: I’m Sorry...

Naked Chronicles: I’m Sorry…

I can only speak for myself when I say the song “Sorry” from Teyana Taylor’s VII album perfectly sums up my divorce.

I’m sorry we couldn’t adjust, this last time, to how we each needed to be loved. I’m sorry.

I’m also thankful for my lost love. He forever changed my life. In so many varying ways. Most for the better, some not so much. But all in ways I needed to be changed. When you lose a best…

Naked Chronicles: My Hurt

The whole premise behind my “Naked” series was to be more transparent. At the time that I ran with it, it gave me an outlet. But it also allowed me to become a voice for people who can relate to my bumps and bruises.

With that being said, I need to vent. I don’t know who out there will relate, or perhaps someone may even get to see the other side of the coin. But here goes nothing…

My divorce…

My Naked Love Affair

My Naked Love Affair

In the wake of everything that is Lizzo, I just want to spend a moment on how perception changes when you simply love yourself.

I mean…

This phenomenal woman took the BET awards show stage in a teddy and boots, and twerked while playing a flute!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Again, I mean…

It’s the equivalent of any one of us waking up every morning and feeling like we’re the finest thing on feet. Not because we’re…

Naked, with No Shame.💋

Naked, with No Shame.💋

Now that a degree of my actual nudity got you here, I’d like to welcome you to my very own Garden of Eden.

Where I’ve come to get Naked and have no shame about it.

To ALL Superheroes Who Don’t Wear Capes (Or Tights)...

To ALL Superheroes Who Don’t Wear Capes (Or Tights)…

I haven’t blogged in quite some time, and honestly I can’t wait to share with you all why that is. But I’m not doing that today! Lol! Today I want to celebrate all the heroes that don’t wear capes.

I was having a conversation earlier this week, and I was telling my friend that multitasking is my natural superpower. He simply replied, “All mama’s multitask well…cape not included.” Man! It was like…

Take a Seat with Me?

I’m not sure what it is about this particular part of my journey, but I’ve just been a witness to people experiencing a great deal of loss and hurt, and unwanted transition. I attribute it to the fact that people naturally tend to reach out to me for insight into their situations. For years I could never understand what about me made people just feel comfortable enough to (very naturally) start…

My Naked Journey

I’ve been walking this journey back to singleness for almost two years. And now that I’m single, I intend to Fully enjoy myself. That’s it!🤷🏽‍♀️ Lol! Just enjoy me.

As a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a niece, cousin, friend, and professional sometimes it’s easy to overlook loving myself. But right now, I’m at the forefront of my thoughts! And it’s served me, and everyone around me, well!…

💋Year 33💋

Today marks my 33rd year of life, and I’ve been receiving birthday calls, texts, posts, and messages since right at 12am! So in true Miss Melanin Monroe form, I wanted to stop and take a small moment to reflect.

The past couple years have been some of the toughest years I’ve had, but they’ve also been the most beneficial. They’ve forced me to self reflect and assess in ways that I’ve never had to…

With Love

I’d like to start by sharing the fact that Tuesday I had an AMAZING follow up blog typed to completion with images and everything. My plan was to share it Wednesday-pretty much to say thank you so much for all of the support. But some time Tuesday evening my fantastic blog disappeared in to the blog verse somewhere.😔 Hurt my heart. Hurt like…

Lol! I can honestly say, I’ve been a little bitter…

Naked as a Jay Bird!😳🙈

With the passing of my Daddy and finally getting my divorce finalized, I’ve just been an emotional wreck. It’s a whole hell of a lot to process at once. I really thought the finality of my divorce would bring me a bit of joy (because it’s been almost a two year process😔), but it didn’t. And it isn’t all because I loss my Dad the day after either. I mean in a matter of 24 hours I lost both my…
