My cousin (sister) - 60 had a wonderful homegoing this morning with full military & police (retired this year) honors.

Loved that she razzed her pastor about her beloved Giants. You can imagine our house during football games with Commanders, Cowboys, Oilers/Titan fans, etc.

Until we meet again.🙏🏿🫂

You know how people on fb often ask for a great book to read? My reco is ALWAYS Yaa Gyasi's HOMEGOING - a sweeping, epic, revelatory series of interwoven stories which is super entertaining to read.
Suggested it 3 times this month. So this is the 4th...

Listening to my beloved spouse’s very white, very Catholic midwestern parents describe the Baptist homegoing of a friend with the exact awe and confusion as if they saw the red sun set over the shores of Krypton

Dear Chadwick.

Your death brought my life partner and me together that Sunday.
We met at your Afrikan drumming homegoing with the rest of our people in a circle of life and dance.

He said his drums were his wife and I said bet.

We always thank you.

Rest in the ancestral planes. 🖤

Since you seem to like Kuang, Yellowface was a fun read. Otherwise I also liked Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and the Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow.

I finished homegoing last night. She is an incredible writer. Every chapter is about a different character, and the way she writes gets me completely absorbed, and I get so invested in each person. It’s definitely horrific and traumatic at times, it’s also very moving and beautifully written.

Today, we laid my father to rest. I've been coping with his unexpected passing privately while also facing relentless attacks on my character. I honestly considered giving up on content creation until the pastor at my father's homegoing service delivered an inspiring message, urging me to "endure."
