INTRODUCTION: We as Christians can have trees with a lot of leaves and no fruit. God doesn't lo that. Are you bearing fruit? Where is the fruit of your faith? 🌿How do we become fruitful? The Bible says Abide in the vine.

TEA TIME WITH RUTHIE: Eat More Often
Since Quarantine, a lot of us came to the realisation that we didn't exactly have God at the center of our lives. We all "had important stuff to do" and "priorities". Many of us got the awakening that really and truly, we do not run the world. Life happens, things out of human control happens,... Continue Reading →
REFLECTION: #ISTANDWITHASIA
I started this post almost a month ago and had it in my drafts, and a friend of mine made a little nudge on her story yesterday that prompted me to post this. Take it off the shelf and be okay with these words. I'm going to be very honest, it's so scary to me that a few years ago I would never take any pictures of myself whatsoever!! (Many of my friends are literally like, "whhaaattt are you talking about????") Growing up, I was always: the ugly friend, the 'girlfriend's ugly friend but nice', the 'acne/breakouts topic', the 'odd one out', the 'not cute enough', and the 'okay one'.

I hope that we all can not just feel sad, hopeless or attacked at the injustice, but try our best to do something about it. Speak up, let us hear your stories. Let's talk about it with our children. I intend on doing a 4-Part Breakdown of this piece and I hope that it will help us to dissect the issues mentioned and also look at how racial profiling, inequality and hate can be. I also wanted to add to my collection of "Black Girl Writes" series and address some other issues that are prevalent in the black community. "I can't breathe and you know it.
