Now or Never
Tears in my eyes. Heart in my hand. A naked soul standing. Ready to go. Knowing deep down, It’s now or never. Continue reading Now or Never
Thank You
For all the times that I was there for you, but you weren’t there for me, Thank you. For all the times I listened to you, but you were too busy to listen to me, Thank You. For all the times I had your back and you stabbed me in the back, Thank You. For all the times I believed in you, yet you didn’t believe in me.

Until all is dead. Continue reading Poetry

As I write this, all over the world people are protesting police brutality towards black people. There’s been protests in several countries and the media has been flooded with posts about #blacklivesmatter and images of the protests visible all over the world. I’m a black woman, native of Curaçao, a beautiful island in the Caribbean. But for the past few years I’ve been living in the Netherlands and unfortunately, I’ve also been on the receiving end of racism and micro-aggressions from white people.
