KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY

"I'm so overwhelmed, I don't know where to start or what to do... so I just won't do anything."

Have you ever been driving with your destination in mind, the excitement and anticipation of getting there slowly building up, only to realize that somewhere along the way, you've lost your sense of direction? So you pull over to the side of the road to re-focus, get your bearings straight and continue your journey.

I don't know about ya'll, but I often have times like this in real life. I done had to talk to God like, "Aye Lord, pull this car (life) over, it feel like I'm bout to throw up." That being said, if you're wondering where I've been, I had to pull the car over and get my bearings straight for a minute. But, I'm back and pettier than ever!

Here's what's been poppin' in the land of Aintbritfunny:

On April 26, 2018, I hosted a really dope show for AFROTRAK at Subterranean in Chicago, IL. Headlining, was the incredibly talented SamTrump & The Soul Vortex featuring some on fire performances from Adam Ness and Nola Ade! If ya'll missed this show, you really missed a treat. Hell, them performances was so good I went home and wrote me a few songs.



This was my second time hosting an AFROTRAK show or any show in general for that matter. It's always good vibes, good people, good music and if you play your cards right, you might even find you a good man/woman. I love the spaces that founder of AFROTRAK, Mike Orie is creating for young black folks. And it has been a pleasure watching his brand grow and being a part of it. So, if you're in the Chicago area this weekend, pop out to the upcoming day party on Saturday, June 9, 2018. Ya'll know ya'll old and like to be in the bed by midnight. This is perfect for you.



Ya'll, I have a lot of new things that I will be sharing with you this summer. Things like: more blog content, new tees in the Aintbritfunny store and maybe even a new stomach because I have been trying to do these sit ups while I've been away.

The moral of the story is, sometimes, you have to pull over, catch your breath and re-focus. But that doesn't mean that you stop going. I understand how sometimes watching the people around you grow and move forward can make you feel you feel like you're behind. Not so. Remember, everyone is in their own car, on their own journey. Let your peers be an inspiration to you. It's honestly what has kept me on my toes. Like, "Hey, they made it...I can make it too!" You might get a little jealous, but that's normal. Just put out your foot and trip them when they walk past you. It'll make you feel better. Help 'em up though. Help 'em up.

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ONE TIME

" I need a date for Valentine's Day " or " Another Valentine's Day...Alone ." or " 2 more weeks til Valentine's Day, who's gonna be my date ?" First of all, why have we been stressing about this day since the end of December? Secondly, I need a "pre-date" before I go out with you on Valentine's Day. What if you end up being crazy? What if you're boring and I don't like you? Then when we go out, I end up seeing the guy that I really like. Now I gotta peace you out. You ain't about to mess up a potential marriage for me. Hell. As crazy as this may sound to you, I never really saw Valentine's Day as a day to be miserable and in my feelings about the man who's not here rubbing my feet. I do that on Tuesdays. I remember being a little girl seeing my daddy walk through the door with balloons, flowers, cards, teddy bears, candies and cakes for me and my mother every Valentine's Day. We could always expect ...
