Django Jane of all trades living w/ cPTSD and walking w/ God. Designed to shine. #Binder #WEOC #DEI consultant [email protected]

I believe in global indigenous solidarity and massive income redistribution. I'm always down for discussions of race, privilege, and power and how they impact lived experience. I have impeccable taste in music and terrible taste in men. I write for a living, I read for life.

My Aunt's house has carpet and my cousin has a cat. I'm allergic to dander. So I was just worrying about sitting on that carpet tonight for NYE. Then I remembered we live in the burbs now and I don't have to spend New Year's on the floor. IYKYK. Growing up Black is wild.

“Keep your good intentions. If you want to show up for people from marginalized identity groups, try acting intentionally.”

It’s 2022. By now, most people have heard that when it comes to race, intentions don’t matter. But what if they do?

Seems like a good time to repost this... “while it is not on us as BIPOC to train and raise our allies, it is on us to raise our standards for allyship and stop taking whatever we can get like thirsty, thirsty heaux.” — Ajah Hales

“We use those cells everyday, and I’ve never heard of her until right now.” a biomedical engineering student told me at a cocktail party. I still think of this every time I hear Henrietta Lack's name. https://t.co/Sbn7wshkI6

Again: Don't be gaslit by those citing the work of scholars describing the skills of enslaved people to excuse the argument that Blk people benefited from slavery. No one is arguing enslaved people didn't have skills. The problem is pretending they needed slavery to acquire them.
