Behind the lens, the work continues. Saturday, I had the honor of contributing as a clinical therapist—offering insight, language, and tools centered on the mental health of Black men.
Their stories deserve care. Their healing deserves space. And their mental health deserves to be treated as essential, not optional.

This documentary coming soon by @jimmybondspodcast is about truth, vulnerability, and redefining strength.
 Listen when Black men speak. Check in beyond “you good?” Support mental health resources in your community. And help normalize therapy as a form of strength.

Collected little moments from the “Holly Folly” film festival. The first of many to come sponsored by Passage Theatre and The Trenton Film Society, of which I am a proud board member. I enjoyed tonight’s closing film, The Polar Express with my son and a little extra joy for winning the film wreath. 🎬🎄

What joy are you bringing into your week? #holidaywellness #mommysonmoments #trentonfilmsociety #passagetheatre #hollyfolly

Caught myself dancing after winning two items in a silent auction yesterday, and honestly… it felt good. This season, remember: joy for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s self-care. #holidaywellness #selfcare #PCAM

In a spirit of thanksgiving and with hearts full of praise, the youth of First Baptist Church of Langhorne gathered tonight to assemble baskets for families in need. What a beautiful evening of fellowship, service, and ministry together.

Lord, keep our young people and their families safe, grounded, and strengthened in You. May they always look to the needs of their neighbors and carry compassion beyond themselves. Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. Amen.

Statuesque

Many things could have broken me.
And perhaps, some life events did—if only for a moment.
But I have learned: life’s bending
does not equal a permanent state.
What comes is not always what will remain.

By the grace of God, I stand tall—
statuesque.
Smiling.
Holding space for myself,
just as I hold space for others
to navigate both the thunder and the whispers of this journey.

I stand grateful for community—
family born of blood, and those chosen,
where sharpening one another is like breath,
done without thought, yet essential.
Gratitude fills me for life-giving relationships,
where authenticity leads the way.

I stand focused on the present.
For I’ve learned the folly of yesterday is gone,
and holding on to it
leaves only grief in its wake.
So I give thanks for what rests behind in shadow,
while embracing what is now—
and what is to come.

Today, I turn 52.
In another season, I might have run 5.2 miles
to commemorate these years of blessing.
But though RA has changed my pace,
it has not stolen my joy.
So I will walk—52 minutes, smiling,
standing tall, statuesque,
embracing me.

Happy Birthday to me.

Not every season feels sunny—but each one offers something to grow from. 🌧️☀️ This week, I planted in the rain and today I pressed fresh juice in the sun. Both moments reminded me that self-care doesn’t have to be elaborate—it can be simple, intentional, and nourishing.
✨ What’s pressing on your heart today? ✨ How are you weaving self-care into your daily rhythm?

How do you preserve yourself—your energy, your joy, your hope?
Like the basil I harvested, sometimes we need to dry out and rest, spending time with ourselves. Other times, we blend beautifully in community—like compound butter or basil preserved in avocado oil—sharing in the joys and the sorrows.

We are the bounty. And whether alone or with others, knowing how to preserve what sustains us is sacred.

🌿 How are you preserving yourself these days?

That line anchors my vision map because true prosperity lives in health and knowledge. In a world where both feel constantly under attack, I’m doubling down on planting seeds—literal and figurative—and nurturing every skill I can. Harvest always follows care.

Here’s to the kind of wealth no one can steal. Happy Monday! Wishing you a week rich in wellness, wisdom, and growth.

Me and my junior researcher were at it again this week at the NJ State Archives.

Parenting is so many things—and truthfully, most days we’re all just figuring it out as we go. My goal isn’t perfection. It’s exposure. I want J to see what’s possible when you follow your passion.

In pursuing mine, he’s getting glimpses into filmmaking, gardening, reading, writing… and simply being.

More than anything, I want him to be himself—free to reach beyond anyone’s limits, especially the ones he might place on himself.

📚🎥🌱 What are you exposing your kids to?

“I’m a professional listener.”
Not just by trade, but by heart.

For me, therapy isn’t about fixing people. It’s about creating a safe space where you can lay your burdens down, be fully seen, and begin the work of healing on your terms.

I hold space for women who are carrying things they’ve never said out loud. For those navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or just trying to stay afloat—I see you. And I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, truth, and care.

If you’ve been holding your breath for too long, maybe it’s time to exhale. Healing begins the moment you decide you’re ready.

🎥 Watch the full conversation on @Dynasty.Queens YouTube and let this be the reminder: you don’t have to do this alone.

Was Your Voice Heard?
Filmmaking doesn’t start behind the camera—it starts with the truth. I recently visited the State Archives to dig into the history behind mental health for my upcoming documentary. What I found? Disturbing patterns that show just how little has changed.

As both a mental health professional and filmmaker, I’m diving deep to expose the stories, systems, and silence that still surround mental health response in our communities.

How do YOU manage your mental health?
Drop a comment and share your go-to wellness tools. Whether it’s journaling, therapy, walking, or just taking a breath—it all matters. 💬🧠

Let’s normalize the conversation. It’s okay not to be okay. But it’s essential to have support.

As both a mental health professional and filmmaker, I’m diving deep to expose the stories, systems, and silence that still surround mental health response in our communities.

How do YOU manage your mental health?
Drop a comment and share your go-to wellness tools. Whether it’s journaling, therapy, walking, or just taking a breath—it all matters. 💬🧠

Let’s normalize the conversation. It’s okay not to be okay. But it’s essential to have support.

Time to Go UP! ⬆️✨
“Move—even when your knees are shaking.”

It’s something I tell my clients, remind myself, and teach my child. 💬💛

Comfort zones feel safe—but they can keep us stuck.
They stop us from soaring, growing, and letting go of what no longer serves us.

So here’s your gentle push:
✨ Let go.
✨ Move forward.
✨ Do the new thing.

What’s your heart nudging you toward?
Drop it in the comments 💬 Let’s cheer each other on as we GO UP! 🙌⬆️

Rebooting Joy!
Let’s be real—joy isn’t always easy to hold onto. With everything going on, it can feel fleeting or buried under the weight of life. But when we’re feeling low or unmotivated… that’s actually the perfect time to reach back for the things that once made us laugh from the gut or breathe a little easier.

So I’m rebooting joy—old favorites, new possibilities, whatever sparks peace and play.
What brings you joy these days? 🎶📚🍲🌿🎨👟

Drop it in the comments—I want to tap in. You might just lead me to my next adventure.
Let’s fill each other’s cups. ❤️‍🩹🤗

🌿 Sunday Reflections 🌿
I had the honor of screening, The Invitation with Healing Circle Grief Recovery, a grief group. 💬 It sparked a conversation we don’t have nearly enough: grieving the self while still alive.

Grief isn’t always about losing someone. For those living with autoimmune disease or chronic illness, pieces of your identity, energy, or “ableness” can slip away—again and again. It’s a different kind of loss, one that asks you to continually accept what’s changing while holding space for what still remains.

👉🏾You have permission to feel it all. To pause, to grieve, to just be.
🎥 Watch the film and join the conversation 🔗 Link in bio.  (Or drop “🎬” in the comments and I’ll send it to you!)

Set life gets me every time! 🎬 Had the honor of serving as AD and interviewer for my Soul Brother, Bill Holmes’ upcoming documentary. It’s gonna be 🔥.

May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Lupus Awareness Month, and with World Autoimmune & Autoinflammatory Arthritis Day coming up on May 20, this conversation couldn’t be more timely.

For so many, these aren’t just monthly themes—they’re everyday realities. If that’s you or someone you love, I see you. And The Invitation was made for you.

Last Thursday night I sat in a room watching The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks by Yoruba Richen—and let me tell you... I felt that film in my bones.

It reminded me that storytelling, real storytelling, can shake you up and wake you up. Rosa Parks wasn’t just a tired lady on a bus—she was fire. Purpose. Strategy. A disruptor. @redrubes14

The Q&A after? 🔥 It was the kind of conversation that makes you fall in love with this art form all over again. This is why I do what I do with The Invitation. Because stories like these matter. They change hearts and policies.

If you haven’t seen The Invitation yet, now’s the time. Rent it or DM me if you want to set up a screening for your group. Let’s keep the conversation going.👇🏽

“Strength in Vulnerability”

I used to hide my pain, thinking vulnerability was weakness.
But I’ve learned that sharing my story is a form of strength.

Living with an autoimmune disease has taught me to listen to my body, to rest when needed, and to celebrate small victories.

If you’re on a similar journey, know that it’s okay to have bad days.
It’s okay to ask for help.
And it’s more than okay to prioritize yourself. 💜

Faith doesn’t always look like praying out loud or quoting scripture.

Sometimes it’s deciding one more time to get out of bed and try again.
Sometimes it’s trusting your gut when the doctors aren’t listening.
Sometimes it’s finding one thing—just one thing—to hold onto.

In “The Invitation,” we didn’t preach.
We shared.
Because whether your anchor is God, family, or something else—you need one. This journey isn’t steady, and there’s no shame in needing a lifeline.

Tell us—what’s keeping you anchored lately?

Sometimes the most powerful part of healing is simply being seen. That’s what we created with The Invitation—a space where women could share their stories without fear of being misrepresented.

Yetunde said it best:

“There’s a danger in giving someone your story… but I trusted Tamara because she saw me and never spun it.”

This project isn’t just a film. It’s a reflection of how sacred our stories are—and how healing it can be to share them in safe, intentional spaces.

💬 Can you think of a time you didn’t feel safe sharing your truth? Or when you did—and it made all the difference? Drop it in the comments. We’re listening.

Who Told You You Had to Be Perfect?
We spend so much time chasing “greatness,” we forget who we already are.

This piece right here? It’s for the overthinkers. The self-fixers. The ones carrying boulders no one sees.

Perfection doesn’t move us forward. Presence does.

👀 Watch the video at the end and share what stood out to you. You never know who you’ll inspire just by commenting.

This weekend reminded me that storytelling is soul work.
My micro-short was part of a beautiful, collaged film experience under the theme “Understories.”

Each piece stood on its own—raw, powerful. But together? It became something we never could’ve scripted. Something bigger than us all.

If you’ve ever felt like your voice was too quiet to matter, trust me—it’s not. It’s part of something greater.

👇🏾I’d love to hear from you—what story are you quietly holding on to right now?
