Memoirs of a Confused Lesbian
Dear Readers, I have decided to write a memoir about my experience as a confused lesbian. Throughout my journey of discovering my sexuality, I also discovered many other illuminating facts about myself. This memoir has been a journey within itself, as well as a process in cathartic healing. My aim is to provide humor and relevance. This is a raw rough draft and you all are my Beta readers. I would appreciate any feedback. I anticipate releasing a few paragraphs at a time - like a serial magazine/newspaper story.

How I ran away to America at 16 but got detained, institutionalised & trapped in the system for months
I dragged my suitcase along a lengthy dark street a little after 5AM. The vicious bark of a dog suddenly filled the air. My heart pounded loudly in my chest. Taking a deep breath, I felt comforted by the wired fence that separated us and I continued ahead. This was it. I’m going. I don’t care. It was September 7th 2009. I was sixteen years old.

My first Publish Here
May 15, 2036: Its been 17 years since the global impact. A new world, although, personally, I’d experienced the new millenniac’s in 1999? This was different, a pandemic of millennial demand!? Corona virus or Covid19, that’s how they announced it in 2019. I had heard so many accounts of what it was, that I started to disbelieve the news. (Let me tell you, I watched news regularly until then.) But they went to the worst, it became so big, and so viral, they had to chose. And “Wipe Out” was a small part of our current exhile that I am standing in. It’s 2036.

As a Black Woman, I am Horrified by Canada's Residential Schools
I didn’t understand the land acknowledgments. At a live show. At a school event. At Fan Expo. When I first heard speakers take a moment to acknowledge the Indigenous groups who occupied Toronto, I thought it was an act of vanity.

Parents should know about Monthly Child Tax Credit Payments start in July
The child tax credit or CTC is a kind of tax benefit provided to parents with dependent children. Governments of various countries provide this benefit to their citizens. The tax benefit or credit usually depends on the number of children relying on a taxpayer. This benefit sometimes is also considered based on the income level of a taxpayer.

Blank Canvas 2
Thoughts racing through my mind as swifts as a breeze dancing through a field of lilies as the sun highlights the stage. I’m frozen in amazement watching the uninformed dance of flowers as is draws me closer to my scape. I close my eyes to feel the breeze run across my faces as the melody elevates the path to endless peace within every stroke of my canvas.

All The Selves I Would Share
*Author’s Note* The grammatical errors in this piece of writing are intentional, it reflects the speed at which thoughts whip through my mind especially when my thyroid levels are too high and I’m in a state of being hyperthyroid. It flows better if read out loud.

My Mom Was A Makeshift Firefighter
As I’m sitting here reminiscing about these days in June. I think about some of the memories that I have in June, and one of those memories is one that I haven’t thought about extensively for a long time. When a very serious event happened in the summer of 2013.
