Got Grit?

-
To: You From: Keyona Porshaa` Mood: Overwhelmed Place: On the couch by the patio Song: Beyonce` - Before I Let Go Color: Light Blue Subject: Have a little grit, it'll get you far. A couple days ago, I did a thing. I could not let a new stadium go up in my city and not work somewhere in the building, right? So, I gathered a close production friend of mine up, printed copies of our resumes out and off into the sunset we were in the direction of the stadium. Construction trucks beeping and in motion all around, we found a free park and waltzed in the front door like we'd been there before. Without asking any questions, not trying to draw unneccesary attention to ourselves, we found the press room, BINGO. We had a name and we knew who to talk to.  Ryan found us first, asked us what he could help us with. A job, Ryan, a job. We told him we needed to speak with his boss and he phoned him down. Well, we had no idea but this just so happened to be opening day and when...

Rest in Power Nipsey Hussle

Image
To: You From: Keyona Porshaa' Mood: Booked + Busy Place: In front of the tube Song: Nip ft. Roddy Rich + Hit-Boy - Racks In The Middle Color: Blue Subject: The Marathon Continues It's been at least two weeks and the energy is still undeniable. The culture mourns the life of LA based rapper, father, business owner and activist, Ermias Ashghedom better known as 'Nipsey Hussle' The Great.  Many know the rapper from his circular interviews where he has been consistently dropping gems for the culture, I say culture because his reach extends past his home neighborhoods in the Crenshaw area and Los Angelos communities. Many more may know him by being the better half of 'New New' from ATL better known as Lauren London. The two were all teeth when they were seen together, a vibe that looked so genuine that it became goals for anyone with an idea of love.  People may look at Hussle and what he has accomplished and believe that he was just gettin...

Sometimes [ IT ] finds you, when you get home.

To: You From: Keyona Porshaa` Mood: Hungry + Crashing Place: In bed in scarf and bonnet Song: Solange - Down with the clique Color: Grey Subject: Today, 'When I Get Home' Burning the midnight oil into the last hours of Black History Month , here I am [wide] awake at 5:16 at night . Besides having the energy capacity of the pink Energizer bunny himself, Solange Knowles has purposefully decided to break the internet through Black Planet visuals, save Black History Month from the 'War on Chicago' and slaying it for the culture with majority of Twitter calling Mike Jones' phone number for snippets of her music: 281-330-8004  There should be purpose in everything that you do. And sometimes that 'purpose' happens to find you.  Sort of like how it grabbed my attention at around 10:00 pm tonight with hunger and never let go, even after I satisfied what rumbling I could silence with Shrimp flavored noodles + crab meats + one too many sh...

Talk It Up, Just Do It, and Motiv8 all 2019

-
To: You From: Keyona Porshaa` Mood: Chillin' with a little headache Place: In bed watching reruns of Girlfriends Song: Boogie - Sunroof ft. Dana Williams Color: Green Subject: Welcome 2019  We have arrived to the second week of the awaited new year, rather quickly but we're here so we can count that as a blessing. Welcome everyone to my blog, I have so many journals and I finally want to consistently entertain you all with my thoughts. During a New Year workout and reflection, my girlfriend Tychyna and I,  came up with some goals for ourselves. I'm saying goals to take off some of that 'resolution' pressure that sometimes feel like they weigh a ton.  For the beginning of the new year I want to do three things: TALK IT UP JUST DO IT MOTIV8 One of my goals for myself is to consistently grow and evolve and a way to do that is to practice the listed things. I found myself selling up a lot of things around me, except for myself of...

If we're being honest..

If we're being honest.. I am unsure of whether it happened after I turned 25 or if its just my sheer ignorance but lately I swear I have been much more computer illiterate than a little bit. A lot of icons look different +  I get stuck and flustered with simple downloading tasks, aka I need work. I do not want to be one of the adults who can not see or work electronic devices. Not to mention, I used to be pretty good with electronics but I was much younger... Well This morning at 2:24 I am bringing life full circle by blogging. Its been years but this happened once before in Greensboro, amen to finding my way back. Although I'm up, I'm actually beginning to get sleepy again which is great. Last night I could not go to sleep for the life of me with an 8 o'clock class that I could not afford to miss. Black-ish is hilarious, if you are not watching yet, WATCH IT! And thank me later. I mean there's pro's: Tracee E.Ross is back in front of the s...

Mommy's 48.

Saturday makes 48 ol' lady . I wonder what you convinced everyone to get you for this one.  I can remember one year when Coach was on the up and up and booming, swinging stylishly on everyone's shoulder and wrist, you stayed on Dad and I until your birthday to make sure you got the Coach set you wanted. We must have went back and forth with you, separately, at least twice a piece to watch you pick up and reluctantly leave the purse you wanted. You got it opened, so psyched even though you only specifically asked for it to watch you smile and truly cherish that gift let Daddy and I know (think) we got it right. If not for Earthly ever, for that moment in time.  You are so beautiful, so smart. God was only right to want you back with him, one of his most thoughtful creations. Live Through Me, KP

This morning my boyfriend had to attend a meeting at his job, as early as 8 o'clock which meant as soon as he left the bed I was up and could not fall back asleep. So what do I do? I light some candles, click my projector on and find something interesting to listen to on Netflix. Yes, listen because truthfully I am not paying 100 percent attention to it which is half the reason why I am still awake. Because my mind can not sit still enough for me to have fallen back asleep and I have to give it what it wants by doing a gazillion things at one time. I have for my restless brain this morning: David Letterman's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction Netflix Views Notes My phone + My Twitter TL, of course I am already thinking of listening in to Issa's podcast via Youtube, Fruit Views, Views from the 6ix, NoName, honestly we are still in the working title phase. Always truth, KP.
