I’m still planning to upgrade to paid. $7.00 per month is still more than I can afford given my current financial situation. My Zoom is 14 days delinquent and Paramount wants money and…But I would love to be a paid subscriber. How does this work anyway? People read and follow me on FB and the occasional posts on Twitter and Instagram. I’m currently supporting John and Kara Brewer Boyd with National Black Farmer’s to Stop Farm Foreclosures by asking President Biden to call a Moratorium. Mobility issues have me confined to home but so far, there’s nothing wrong with my mind. Well. I was diagnosed Bipolar in 1982 and thanks to mental health treatments it’s been full speed ahead. Rheumatoid Arthritis assists my families’ wishes by keeping me from posting because they swear they can taste my angry black female posts. I tell them, “You lie!” But I’ve missed your posts and I thought it was because I had not paid. I never go near any of my computers with liquids so I’m feeling a bit smug . I promise to subscribe when I can afford it. And how can I make money here?? Always FannieMarie ❤️🤣💐

I loved reading this entry. I see so much of myself reflected in it. You are an inspiring writer, Iyabo!

I have been reflecting on the issue of integrity and ethics, and wonder if I live up to my own commitment to displaying them at all times. I dare say I do not and fall short too often! Reading your entry is reassuring in a way that I need to receive on this day.
