Me to Son: why do you watch so much Wild N Out? This show is dumb. Son to me: I watch shows that keep me in a good mood & don’t stress me out. You come home & watch the news, it makes you mad & then you have an attitude for the day. Me: currently watching Wild N Out. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I truly think of Regina King often. I pray she’s healing and has supporting, loving, people lifting her up. I know she’s disappeared from the public. But I pray she knows that there are women holding her in deep and affirming love.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but sitting in traffic listening to this White Woman Call….and it might be more transformative than the black woman call. Why? Because watching white women hand themselves their own ass is something I NEVER THOUGHT I’d see…. #AnswerTheCall2024

Truth: and this is going to hurt. There are some of you who think that if Biden’s administration didn’t address your issue yet- that nothing has been done for black people. The problem is you refuse to acknowledge black people that are not just like YOU.
