About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I'm a naturalized Caribbean immigrant in the grand old U.S.A. I live in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Ward 7 and I'm a forever-journalist. I started my first career as a magazine editor and I haven't been able to give it up. When I started this blog, I was knee-deep into my fourth career as a government public relations specialist. However, I have been heading up my editorial staffing company, Invisible Colours LLC out of my Ward 7 neighborhood. I'm expanding my company's brand by offering video production and other social media technologies for clients. This blog follows my journey as a 40-something-year old in Washington, D.C. Married for several years, I have three kids--a boy and two girls. I am blessed, and I'm loving all that God has given me. I have a master's in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's of arts from the University of the West Indies. I hope I can offer a little insight into my life and my experiences. Writing serves as a catharsis for me. It is what I do best. It is what I love. It is who I am.

On Dealing With Anniversaries

My daughters are among
the reasons I have to keep
 moving forward.
I'm really going to have to do better about posting on this blog. Just noticed it's actually May 15 now not May 14, the anniversary of my leaving the government agency.
 
I feel stronger and more in touch with myself, my writing. However, it still tinges a little that I'm not part of that team. Every now and then I find myself reminiscing and kicking myself for mistakes that were made. Not sure this will actually do anything.
 
Well, here I am. I am woman. Hear me roar. Still writing. still standing. I've added the certificate of field technician to my DCTV television producer certificate earlier this month. Now's the time to return to that dream and goal of working in electronic media. The media landscape has changed since I earned my master's in 2000. Now, we're doing video on the Washington Informer and on Asian Fortune. More important, I can start something on YouTube. I want to explore them all. 
 
Lots of opportunities, many possibilities. But I feel stuck. Stuck on Stupid again. Not sure if I'm moving forward or if I'm moving back. The uncertainty is scary; but I have to keep it moving. 
 
Peace. One Love.
