The Neighborhood Council Files ~ Hidden Agendas
Our first general assembly. His last attempt to lie his way back in. He brought friends, canned speeches, and a hidden agenda. We brought receipts.
The Body of Evidence
Neighbors in Guatemala remember my mother as "El cuerpo." A force of nature. A woman they speak about in awe. I inherited her face. I'm trying to figure out if I also inherited the thing that broke her.
Photographic Memory
There is a black & white photograph of me that has persisted in my memory for decades. Let me tell you about it.
#WhyIStayed
Everyone was shocked when I divorced. No one knew because I wore a fake face 100% of the time. I stayed until the emotional abuse stopped being only my burden to bear. Then I left.
Why You Trippin?
A friend I barely hear from is suddenly blowing up my phone about a holiday visit. I'm less than enthused about meeting the significant other. I'm hoping I can keep the fake face to a minimum.
