“In Remembrance” – Happy Heavenly Birthday Queen B!
Bev was my best friend. Although she lived on the opposite end of my block in West Philadelphia, where I was born and raised, our paths never crossed until I was in my late teens. I was the smart kid who got teased a lot and kept to myself. She got the nickname Queen B because she would walk around the neighborhood like she was royalty.
Fearless #original poetry
In life's chaos, take a break from all roles and just be. Embrace freedom, dance, and revel in joy. Embody fearlessness, honor your ancestors, and surround yourself with giving souls.
My ODE to George (Original Poetry)
