How's life treating you?

I'm Shamontiel, a 20-year digital and print editor, journalist, and fact-checker. 
When I'm not working, there's a 99% chance I'm walking somebody's dog or my own four-legged security guard/fitness instructor.
As a 20-year vegetarian, I'm adamant about daily, morning meditation; weight training; and love dance fitness (mainly Kukuwa).
If I'm not cooking, wrestling my way through a DIY project or walking dogs, I'm buried in commentary on politics, news and culture.

I am one of the 91% of black women who supported Vice President Kamala Harris, the only qualified presidential choice in November 2024, as well as the 94% who voted for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 90% for President Joe Biden. If you did not, and you voted for Donald Trump, go away. Do not revisit. I do not support those who vote for sexism and racism and ignore women's rights. I distance myself from those who treat the health of lower-income and middle-income people like peasants. I will never agree with him being anything but a racist rambler and have no interest in conversing with anyone who supports him.
