With Maya Angelou in my soul, Nas in my headphones, and my daughters in my heart — I’m healing generational pain while building generational wealth. Choosing freedom over fear. Writing a new story, one bold, beautiful chapter at a time.
I woke up in the middle of the night stunned by fear so intense I couldn’t go back to sleep. The kind that won’t let up. I called my mama.

Abrego Garcia—this story is not one I can outrun. Not anymore.

And I’m scared. Not just for me—for all of us.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Just finished my 2025 budget and OMG I'm even more worried about the next 4 years. Heard Trump wants to take away the head of household deduction.. I can't afford even one more dollar of taxes. How does anyone anywhere make ends meet?? LADWP takes ALL of my $$$.

Former DC Metro Police officer Michael Fanone has a message to the Oath Keepers founder who was just pardoned. We share his sentiment.

Beyoncé killed her performance. It wasn’t too much and it wasn’t too little it was what I call a perfect performance

Politicians, media platforms, billionaires, and personalities are showing you who they really are right now.

Pay attention. Adjust your understanding and expectations. Find the people you can trust and get ready.

One hopeful outcome from this Kendrick vs. Drake beef—which has been giving me life!!—is a reminder to rappers: you don’t have to chase ‘pop.’ You can embody the origins of hip-hop, speak from our lived experiences, keep it real, and still win big. This culture was built on truth.

This part.
And, nope, none of these white writers have ever penned an article asking Trump voters to "reach out" and understand the plight of millions of Americans who voted AGAINST Trump. Odd. So strange. I wonder why our anxiety doesn't matter? Hmmm. Anyone want to take a guess?
A lot of white dudes coming out telling me to reach out to Trump voters, not all are bad, yadda yadda. Good for you. You go out to diners & talk to people who voted for a criminal racist & violent insurrectionist 3 times in a row. For most people of color, we'll concentrate on the 65% that didn't.
