Essence & @Raelt 20 years later

Ya, so it becomes harder and harder for me to deal with life once the weather becomes very cold. I might be a brat, but I truly despise it and probably complain in my head 6 months straight.

From November to March, I am simply mad at the world!

But some things make me come out of my funk, and when I do come out, I love sharing with all of you!

My gal pal Rae Lewis- Thornton has hit the news-stands!

I stand with SO many other women when I say that she saved my life back in 1994.

I was probably hell bent on destruction until I picked up that Essence and was schooled by Ms. Sister Rae.
