About Shirl

My Story

I’m a daughter, sister, mother, and a friend.  This blog will recount my experiences, joys, pain, obstacles, & achievements.  Please feel free to comment with your own experiences & opinions- healthy discourse is welcome- keep it classy!

The things I choose to share on this blog serve to enlighten, entertain, and generally give you an idea of my worldview. I don’t consider myself a junior newscaster or a doomsday pundit. I’m just me. This is a way for me to connect with folks- family, friends, and friend adjacent. My objective is to give you a taste of who I am:

A fully woke, very complex, black woman. 

I don’t speak for black women everywhere, just for myself. My intentions in posting are always to be kind, factual, and irreverent.

Ideas of things I may post:

**Articles giving kudos to folks who have overcome obstacles and been able to persevere in spite of insurmountable odds

**Items and discussions on race, politics, and things that fly in the face of human dignity & decency

**Memes and topics focusing on my particular brand of sarcastic humor (sometimes with cuss words)

**Subjects that glorify the Creator and how my spiritual path is directed and sometimes tested

Sometimes, my posts will make you smile or laugh. Sometimes you will feel uncomfortable. If you’re ever uncomfortable, just remember, one of the key pivots to usher change is to be uncomfortable. None of us can live in our own carefully constructed bubble- it will eventually break, and baaayyy-beeee it ain’t fun when it does, trust me- been there, done that. If we are all comfy, the world will never get better.
