oh hi it’s my face… again
Years ago I wrote this & told myself to never forget
Over time I let fear of making people uncomfortable take over, and I lost the confident part of myself that knew I not only deserve a seat at the table, but l'm building a table for others like me
I won't forget again
We belong
Happy Juneteenth

What happened to justice and liberty for all?
“If you don’t use your voice, others will use your silence”
We will never stop marching for justice, equality and humanity
We built this nation, and we are stronger together than divided

My community is under attack and politicians are playing billionaire games with human lives
What you see in the media is rooted in lies meant to divide. I’m in the streets, we are peaceful
Words like “illegal” are meant to dehumanize so that you feel nothing while they abuse power. Don’t be fooled

Over the last 365+ days I’ve learned that you really don’t know much about life until you’ve provided care for someone at the end of theirs
Caregiving is a painful, exhausting, humbling process of letting go & letting compassion lead
When they go, part of you goes w them. I hope that part is peace

At some point the left is going to have to realize:
1. They’re not anti-racist by default
2. Infighting causes nothing but division, and strengthens those set to harm all of us
3. We can have varying opinions on random topics, and still have the same goal overall
4. Unity is the only way forward

There’s a rising trend: accusing black people of being conservative, despite our record of being the opposite
Often target black women as a racist/misogynoir tactic to erase us from the conversation. They’ve lost the plot. Scroll their posts, you’ll find more racism

Last month I watched yt people freak out over black folks morning routine, calling it evil, while ignoring society's demand we be perfect to be accepted
This month I watched a yt woman get paid $750K to call a black autistic child the n word
And they made it political
But “racism doesn’t exist”

Of course! I usually do but missed this one! Can’t find a way to add now, but this is an image of 3 black cats standing next to each other, wearing cute tuxedo collars with black bow ties and red bow ties. They look sweet, and also ready for treats 💙

Love a void!! I really wanted to thank you for talking about the hatred and rampant racism and Islamophobia in your latest a*h tr*vino swoop doc. Especially lately, it’s been disgusting. But I felt your passion in how awful this is and that’s very meaningful.

Cory Booker’s words cut to the core of how important it is to learn from history, not erase it or sugar coat it.
He referenced John Lewis: “get in good trouble, necessary trouble”
We have to find a path to justice that doesn’t destroy humanity in the process.

I’ve been talking about the rise of weaponizing political division to serve a whitewashed agenda. Both sides are doing it. They tokenize minorities for gain or fake allyship, and erase & attack us when it no longer serves them or we dare have an opinion
Don’t fall for it. We are better united

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I can’t speak to every resource out there or everything any single resource might have, so please also always talk to your doctor and do additional reading as always. The discussion of the cliff just helped me a lot on my own understanding, but everyone is different and has different needs 💙
