Ha! What more can I say? Life isn’t easy
but I am making it! I am blessed and highly favored but life isn’t easy!
Who am I? Do you know what it means to be a black woman in America ?
Nothing more than I am a artist and I am sensitive about my sh*t (Erykah
Badu saying), I am not your typical artist though. I am an event planner and I
decorate a lot of venues, especially for weddings. I can see a blank
canvas, the venue, and envision how the space will be painted. The term artist is
not the typical name for my craft but I know my beautiful décor is
nothing short of art. When my clients walk through my finished canvas,
they are in awe. It is almost as if I have curated an exhibit to
showcase my art to world. It was not easy getting to where I am, I am 30
year old mother to a 4 year old graduating with my bachelors, but like I
said life isn’t easy but it has bought me this far. Planning and
decorating weddings has bought me a peace of mind, almost therapeutic.
It is my escape from the real world and allows me to live in a momentary fairytale. What more can I
say? I love the art that I produce.
So typically it takes me two hours to get to school and I am always offered an abundance of sound, from juicy conversations to honking horns due to traffic. On this particular day I heard the best the conversation ever! On the N6 which is the bus I take from Long Island to Queens, this woman was extremely upset with her soon to be ex husband... This woman was on the phone with her soon to be ex husband, whom apparently shut down access to their joint banking account. Although I was I was sad for her I soon realized why this guy took off. The woman cursed her ex out to the highest of heavens. Rightfully so, she was upset but then she bought up his love below and compared him to the new man she was dating. After the giggles of the other passengers all I could hear in the background was " stop requested". The dreaded phrase that I loathe to hear and all that means is longer arrival time to class. Now on to the ever so punctual F train , I hear the conductor tell the passengers...
