Popsyisms…
Some years ago, I had the privilege of seeing Ms. Tyson on stage in “The Trip to Bountiful”, a beautiful and stirring story about the meaning of home. At the spry, young age of 89, Ms. Tyson’s presence on that stage was nothing less than magnetic, and it moved me to tears. Everyone in that theatre understood that they were watching magnificence in motion. I was grateful then and grateful now that I had the opportunity to witness one of her legendary performances. Cecily Tyson was so many wonderful things. A trail-blazing actress, an author, a model, a mother, and a recipient of countless awards including an Oscar, a Tony, three Emmys, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Cecily Tyson was a woman who lived a life so full, she had no choice but to touch and inspire millions with her work, her legacy, and her life. May she rest in eternal power and peace.

Permission to Rest
It’s been a long year. And it’s been a hard year. While I have hope that the new year will bring us some much-needed leadership at the national level on everything from the pandemic to the continued fight against systemic racism, I need a break. And that’s why this month’s issue is dedicated to three simple words/mandates – Rest. Recharge. Reset. Take this month to rest. Take this month to refill that cup of yours which has been running on empty for some time now. Take this month to really take stock of what’s working and what’s not. Make your action plan. Set your timeline. And then do it. But, first – REST. Take the time to take care of you. Because you deserve it. Because you need it. Because it is critical to your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. So, as we officially wind down one of the most difficult, anxiety-ridden, fear-inducing, “I’ve had more than enough” years in modern history, consider this your official permission to rest and be well.

Nine Scarily Spooky Stories Led by WOC
As an avid lover of all things spine-chilling, hair-raising, and all-around horrifying, I’m always on the look-out for incredible horror content that’s just as smart and well-written as it is scary and entertaining. And obviously, if the content also features women of color, all the better!
