Jeff set Jen up with his cousin Richard. We went to Vinnie T's on Lancaster Avenue. Jeff could absolutely afford a champagne budget, but he seemed to have beer tastes, even though he wasn't old enough to legally purchase beer, and I had never seen him drink it. "You really know how to impress a girl," I said. "This place is just a habit from my impoverishe...
"There are lots of black folks in Brazil, Miss Kensington, in fact, people of color actually outnumber Caucasians in my homeland," Marcelao Romano said evenly, maintaining his composure as he locked eyes with Stacey Kensington, professor of African Studies at Carleton University. The blonde, steely-eyed professor flashed him the placating smile that white fo...
The morning starts like any other. You wake up, shower, make coffee, check the fridge for bacon, wind up eating toast instead, get dressed, and prepare to head out into the world. As you're about to open your door and head out to another fun-filled day at the office, you notice you've received a letter through the door. Weird. It's 7am. Unless your postie ha...

I was surprised that the front door opened as my car drew into the driveway. Rosie stepped out wearing a lightweight summer dress, white with pink trim.

It certainly was not the hot mid-summer day that such...
One of the many reasons I carried on with this project was because of a casual conversation I had with a dour, yet beautiful woman from Sweden. I met her one evening through mutual friends, and mentioned the project. With absolutely no hesitation she took me through her experience of O-Day. When I officially started taking submissions, I tracked her down, an...
This changing world that we live in never ceases to amaze me. And that's okay. You learn something new every bloody day. My name is Jennifer Rosier. A six-foot-one, curvaceous and big-bottomed Black woman of Haitian descent. I'm a big beautiful Black woman and I am proud. I weigh two hundred and sixty pounds and I love every inch of my big sexy body. I moved...
As we were eating dinner I stared at Melanie and realised that I really hated her. How could it be that this woman who I had once loved so much now really annoyed me? I guess I had finally realised that this relationship was doomed. I didn't want to admit it to myself but I had long since been looking for a way out. I guess you could say I saw Melanie for th...
**Quick note: This story is based on a dream! While constructive criticism is welcome, and comments are greatly welcomed, verbal attacks aren't needed and will be deleted. Happy reading.** I stood at the window looking outside, the sun barely peeking over the horizon. I knew in my heart that today would be another lonely day. My husband was deployed to Iraq...
Chapter 4: The Swimming Pool It had been nigh on eighteen years earlier that I had left the town's swimming club to concentrate on my school work. Having returned to my hometown from an abandoned life in London, I had been encouraged by my mother, and a visit to the pool of my youth, to return for the adults-only Friday night swim. Not that I'd abandoned s...
