What's the first impression you want to give people? You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression, so why not make sure the first one sticks.

I go away for a while, and then I come back, with a lot. I begun to focus on myself, started creating projects, movements, and ways to bring people together. What I noticed is, the more positive you are within yourself, confident, you start to see you for you. You start to see who you... Continue Reading →
It’s a great vibe when Jersey Club comes together. A lot of Jersey’s beef is deeply within the producers themselves, and I say that because when everyone is together, nothing that was said, agreed with, or argued over via social media is engaged in. If people took the time to focus on the production and... Continue Reading →
Incase you didn’t know, you are somebody. You matter to the world in some way. The things you do people look up to you, they also envy the way you go about things. Strong minds can’t crack, unless you allow it. When you notice that you’re not gaining anything from situations that don’t take you... Continue Reading →

Originally, I planned to release a blog about Jersey coming together, which we haven’t been doing due to self-esteem, “I made this first,” and accusations that had nothing to do with the purpose of Jersey Club.

It sounds very strange that I, the peer advocate for almost everything did not post about epilepsy on November 1st, but I showed it off to the world. I was proud to wear my purple, I was proud to remind epileptic people that it was national epilepsy awareness month. You know why? Because those 27... Continue Reading →
I’ve found a home to walk in the path of God in, finally! A place that makes me feel comfortable. The lord said “Come as you are.” I came in so confused back in July. I came in confusion on many things. It wasn’t that I wasn’t sure of what I was doing, it was... Continue Reading →
As humans, we have the toughest pride. We hate to hear the “truth”. This is what we may not necessarily agree with, but because it’s said, you start to believe it yourself. If you’re one who can take great constructive criticism, it goes well. If not, you’ll end up saying and doing things you’ll regret.... Continue Reading →
I made it thus far with a spinning head. Why am I able to tell things others can’t? How did I know that was going to happen? “When it rains, someone has passed on.” That’s all I thought of during daily life. Those things haunted me because I couldn’t figure out how to move on... Continue Reading →
Wow, it's been months of progression, time, self-explanations, etc., for me, and you all. I changed a lot, a lot of the things I thought were cool and fun to do slowly started to turn me off.

“DO IT LIKE IT’S YO BDAY, BABY” - Joseline Hernandez I started this blog with an opening quote that I felt related best to us women. We often get jobs just thrown at us, or to be completed as an expectation, which can be done by men as well, but we do it. Stereotypes! A... Continue Reading →

Let me tell ya’ll something, some real spill. People look at me like I have 24 heads as I take the medication I do and still continue to work, and get up, and move around not sleeping all day.

Here’s to being thankful! Thankful for another year, another breath of fresh air, another moment of peace even when there sometimes seems to be no way to find it. I’m thankful for how far I’ve come along, health wise, mentally, and physically. The devil tried to knock me down plenty of times, when all I... Continue Reading →
Animals are very much similar, if not human beings themselves. They have feelings and emotions, just as well as you do. When you leave for work in the morning, or take that 5 minute drive to the convenience store; that 5 minutes seems like forever. Why do you think your dog doesn’t stop hopping around...

I’ve been battling Epilepsy since age 19. At first I caught myself waking up in the middle of the night with a shirt drenched in sweat, next I caught myself hearing thousands of “Jessica” that I just couldn’t answer too. At that moment it was like anything triggered it, I cried, I seized, I stressed,... Continue Reading →

Isn’t it crazy, crazy how life works. It literally does a 360, and if you’ve done right by life; and forgiven yourself with true intentions to be pure, all is well. I sit and I think, certain times I used to cry, hysterically, about things that I had no control over. I wanted life to... Continue Reading →
Crazy how racism isn’t the only issues between cops and the people. Neurological patients have come to have many issues with many misunderstanding situations or people. Recently I was involved in a car accident, and knew the symptoms of a convulsion/seizure and watched someone be hospitalized and untreated for their condition as the nurses told... Continue Reading →
When I first stepped foot into the Jersey club game heavily, I was just getting my feet wet. People was hitting it to the beat at parties, and someone I always was around was in that circle.

There is a reason why I hang around the crowd I do, why I attract such positivity and production. My mindset isn’t the same as you because you are you and I am me. Get it? I can take constructive criticism, I can take new ideas, I can take new artist and turn it into... Continue Reading →
We as humans demand attention in certain aspects, and then turn around and give people a reason to be in denial on our decisions. For example, a major example in my eyes. Black lives matter is a major thing, racism is a major thing. Why do we take the terms and things said to us... Continue Reading →
Each day we meet someone new. A co-worker, friend, family member you may not have known of, but not all are like Dana Johnson. Dana and I initially met networking via clubhouse.

Too often we mistake help, guidance, or assistance, for power. It’s nothing wrong with leading the path for the next to follow, or following in the next person’s shoes, you’re trying. There is also nothing wrong with wanting to do things your own, at your own speed, and time. Starting off blogging, I had no... Continue Reading →
I be feeling like ya'll don't really understand nothing. Not knowing when a seizure can happen is something. Us patients can't always tell you when it's coming, next thing you know everyone is running. Epilepsy is very serious to me, and not the right people see. I thought God was taking me with him to... Continue Reading →
When I first met Tricky, I was upcoming myself, and still am. Yet, I used to host a a live show called "Talent Vibez" via Instagram, which permitted artist to come show off their talent.
