Just a girl from the Alabama shores, chasing adventures coast to coast and now soaking up life in NYC. Lover of sunburnt salty skin, 80-degree days, paired with sweet ice tea. Forever a beach soul finding magic in the city lights. ☀️
I just speared a mouse! My body count is now five. Two squirrels, one snake, one raccoon and now a mouse.

I’d feel just as terrible about this mouse but I think I unearthed a secret talent. I have to try spear fishing now.

I was visited by THE GHOSTS!

Past: “Well then, Uhh.. Okayy”
Me: “yup, that happened.”

Present: “So.. Uhh.. Umm”
Me: “Mmhm..”

Future: “…”
Me: “Bitch, if you ain’t here with fried okra or Waffle House hashbrowns (Scattered, light, raw jalapeños & onions) and a glass of tea.. I swear on my momma.”

I wouldn’t be caught dead in Gucci, any where near Versace nor a hint of Chanel.

I have standards that make it damn near impossible to spend that much money to look, feel and smell like trash from days long gone by.

Haunting thought.

I lost Cameron because of a daycare choice. (Fact: written court documents)

Why was the court requiring him to go to daycare so young? He was a sick baby and daycares are gross.

It wasn’t a requirement for bryce. He didn’t go to daycare.

Something legal is feeling very dark…

2005 Hurricane Katrina.

Hide & help my community > allow my government to take me as an unaccompanied minor to god knows where.

I was emancipated, but in a very vulnerable situation. It wasn’t the crackheads that scared me. It was my government I was afraid would take me from my home.

According to court documents an Alabama judge took my NEW BORN away because of a daycare choice.

Just didn’t agree with the daycare so they took my son away. We were both abused bc of that decision for well over a decade.

It was a good daycare.
I was 15 I couldn’t afford Ivy League daycare.

I went to jail once. I was at the court house finalizing my divorce; at 18, from a marriage an Alabama judge used my son to pressure me into at 16.

The divorce was final, I was walking out of the courtroom and into cuffs. Big pregnant with Bryce. A warrant for a $10 seatbelt ticket.

When the universe speaks through strangers, you’d be a fool to dismiss it. Purposely given to me by a woman in passing and kept for years.

Impact a stranger today.

My trauma response is to stand confidently, smile, accept abuse and say thank you when someone legally violates me.

I’ll take the abuse with a smile, just the way I did when I was fighting for mine and son’s life.

I’m not sitting home crying. I’m educating myself for the next time we speak.

Signed immigration papers for two different countries without ever leaving the land.

Women who the land recognized but the church did not.

If I got deported would I be sent back to the Gulf Coast?

I’m cold and culturally starved.

Every historical Southern story can be found in my genealogy.
400+ years on the gulf, 57 slaves and 1 drop rule that kept my Memaw out of the public pools in Mobile, AL.
The women I descend from is inspiring.
Choctaw, Spanish, French, African, British.

I inherited the Atl. Braves in the 90s. I had no say in the matter, but I wanted to be Javy Lopez. Catch fastballs, talk shit in the sunshine and be a good great person.

In the south you pick your college football team early. Can’t trust a bandwagon fan; they have no loyalty; so choose wisely..

My blood runs under the roots of the old oak trees on the Alabama gulf coast.

I’m thankful a relative; Mr. Deep pocket celebrity, had the resources and curiosity to cover most of the information leg work.

It’s wild and beautiful. I’m proud of who I am and where I have been throughout time.

Are we all bound to the script of the lies we tell ourselves..

“People lie for a reason” to progress or to protect themselves.

Does this mean a person that’s truly honest with themselves and those around them are unruly/unbound to a script..

25 miles north/45min drive north of the bayou. Bush Jr. visits Coast Guard ATC in Mobile, AL. 9/2. 4 days after Katrina.

News reports suggests in coden, we were completely cut off from civilization.
Feels right, I don’t recall him coming to help, he didn’t care about anyone in the bayou La Batre.

I don’t hate New Yorkers. I have a few friends from here, I like my lawyer, and I love whoever the New Yorker was that shamed Condoleezza Rice for shoe shopping; kicking action in first gear.

Thank you, New York stranger.

I have deep roots in hurricanes, when you live on the gulf you expect em, when your roots run so deep they are your next to kin, you crave a visit.

Oh, I had fun in katrina and a couple days after. It’s a way of life for us.

It’s what was done to us that I’m not happy about.

I want to scream at midnight in the snow. I feel like the heavy silence would pull from a foreign part of my soul, something that is desperately fighting to be realized.

I could never be a disturbance of such; so I smile and help where I can, however I can.

I never stood a chance. Everyone thought I deserved my son back aside from 3 people who I could not satisfy no matter what I did. They never had plans to give him back to me. Random drug tests and classes for 2 years. On top of many frivolous required appointments

Michael reached out to his parent to see if they wanted to spend some time with bryce Christmas to help us out.

You would think after 16 missed Christmas they would want to see their grandson.
They don’t want anything to do with him.

I remember elders giving me chocolate to stop my 15 year old body from lactating.

I remember laying in the tent, surrounded by the scent of wet pine in summer heat.

12/06 got my ged per court order, to get my son back. I was not given my child back.

7/07 enrolled in college per court order, did not get my son back.

11/07 got my own place per court order, did not get my son back.

Another stipulation to getting my son back was random drug tests, I passed em

1/17/06, 2 months after communications was restored in bayou La Batre and people were allowed to start leaving, while we was still recovering. I was expected to make it to court 1hr drive north. No cars worked due to flooding.
