I've just received my first Ever mention from Wattpad notables 

Internet back on, updates soon to come 

Currently No Internet 

I did a poll on my last chapter.
          With the runner up being, the story of the First Black owned and Charted Bank.
          
          So next up, The True Reformers Bank 

New chapter

I originally decided to no longer work on this passion project due to lack of engagement. But I decided to work on it again in remembrance of Grandfather who recently passed away in November from Cancer. I'm seeing it as my form of closure

I'm debating to take all my work off of Tumblr, the comments are 95% of people sending racial hate comments, and I can count on my hand multiple times a was called the Hard "R" or it was mentioned in my comments, It's a lot of weirdos over there, I think I preferred to be left unread than deal with that. 
          
          For context; a lot of black, poc, (mostly female) writers and Creators are currently being drove of Tumblr, literally cause we just.....created our own creative spaces and certain "people" don't like that apparently. 

I honestly want to try again with this project. I was mainly posting it on Tumblr, but when I was currently writing on there, I was just sent threats and racial comments.....and they said I was spreading fake information...how?? Hell, if I know. It was just a let down that Six years of work was for nothing, but I really love writing about my history, with the way that the world currently is, it'll probably be erased again.

Saturday was my Grandpa's funeral. It was a quick and simple service, I unexpectedly went up and gave a small speech, I didnt have anything prepared (because I didnt plan on going up there to say anything) but I was able to.
          
          It was a bit of closure for me, I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it through but when I sat there (it was a closed casket) I at least know he was at peace.
          
          I still won't be "Okay" for a while, but at least I made it through this part, saying goodbye
