Allow me to introduce myself.

~ I’m a Covid conscious anti-capitalist, HBCU graduate-CAU🐾, womanist that talks mostly about disability rights, music 🎼 , books 📚 written by oppressed ppl especially Black books, and occasionally TV 📺.

Also one of my favorite pastimes is to block ppl so play nice 😉

Dr. Black is such a wonderful person. I recommend reading Don’t Cry For Me as well. It’s my favorite of his works.

I think I have officially reached the point where I can’t talk about #NicOlandria to my family anymore. They are all sick of me so I guess that means I’ll be on here more often LOL 😆

This is such a tough loss. My heart hurts so much for Taylor. #USOpen

Oh wow that’s really disappointing to hear. It suck when everyday ppl don’t mask or believe in Covid but it’s actually extremely harmful to have medical professionals saying stuff like this

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 21

Took my two oldest kids to a doctors appointment today and their doctor just kept thanking us for still masking. She said masks help in so many different ways and ppl are underutilizing them especially with everything that’s going around right now. #maskup #covidisstillhere

The journey of healing from a bone marrow transplant is so long and can even be exhausting/difficult sometimes. But my little warrior girl is doing such a fantastic job!! I’m so excited for my son to get his in two months!!! Whole family about to be sickle cell free!!!!!!!!!

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 20

Exactly this! They be miserable trying to “fix” the same man instead of just moving on.

Because of TikTok I have found a lot of great new artists/musicians, but I just saw a video of Alabama Shakes and went to look them up. Where have I been??!!!! Man I love great music and I’m sad I’m so late but happy I’m here now.

Let's call a spade a spade: #LoveIslanduSA production is racist. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Lisa | ASHLEY WON BB27 ❤️ @dawgatthecrib.bsky.social · Jul 12

Production getting exposed for being weird with how they edited Olandria and Chelley to look like mean girls while giving Huda a sympathy redemption edit...damn. #LoveIslandUSA

This!

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 17

I just feel like there’s no way every child is getting the quality time they need with their parents but maybe I’m wrong

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 17

Also Huda complaining that Chris didn’t even look at her while he was talking to Chelly just further proves that she was/is jealous of Chelly. It must be exhausting being that insecure while pretending to not be #loveislandusa

Finding out that Huda went on a podcast and called the other girls bullies is not surprising at all. Especially b/c she has yet to call out all the racism her fans have been spewing. #loveislandusa She always sees herself as the victim when she in fact is the problem/bully

"I have never dated somebody so kind…This is my first relationship where l've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy…I'm just grateful that he's here by my side and he feels the same way about me.” - Megan 🥹

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 17

Exactly

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 17

I’m about to start following #Nicolandria fans that are still talking about them but we all seem like great ppl honestly 😂

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 17

And this is why I like them so much. I love to see dark skin BW being loved well. That’s also why I was never a fan of Taylor 🤷🏿‍♀️ #nicolandria

Sami @notsamy.bsky.social · Jul 15

nic do NOT play about Olandria AT ALL. 🤭 #loveislandusa

Shakeira_C @shakeirac.bsky.social · Jul 17

This is actually a great question b/c when I saw some ppl were saying that I was honestly confused then pissed. Because she was very clearly his lover to me.
