Black History Month 2025

 


Well, well, well... They jumped right on into it didn't they?! Cancel Black History Month you say!? Mothafucka please! This bouta be the loudest, livest, blackest, Black History Month of all time. So let's get this shit started off right. 

I'm listening to Stevie and Anita as I write this. I just posted my February 1st TikTok on Harriet Tubman. So the mood is definitely set.

I'm not complying with shit. Nothing but the rent. And as soon as we can stop doing that, I will. There isn't anything this "new" administration hands down that I will accept and comply with. I will resist with my last breath. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck J.D. Vance. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck the entirety of the Republican Party. Fuck the American Oligarchs. Fuck all white supremacists. Fuck Israel. Fuck Russia. Fuck Blackrock. Fuck Vanguard. Fuck NASDAQ. Fuck Capitalism. Fuck Colonialism. Fuck patriarchy. Fuck hierarchy. Fuck classism.🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

I'm sick of this shit. Where's my vape? 💨💨💨💨

As I learned history throughout my life, I would imagine myself in those circumstances. I always imagined myself a fighter. I'm scrappy, I'm defiant, I'm courageous. I'm also smart and resilient. So I think now is the time to see what I'm really made of. 

My opinion of the current state of the black community is we need to look inward. We need to work on our internal issues and get on one accord. We need to be working together and getting along socially and politically. We need to separate and do our own thing. I'm not going to fight for DEI. Let them suffer without us and our greatness. I don't think we need to beg for their table scraps. We need to build up the black community and invest in our defense of it. History tells us what they do when they see us succeed and thrive. So we have to be prepared for that. We have experts in everything. We have teachers, business leaders, talent and a strong labor force. We have to go back to a segregation mindset and do it for ourselves because we have to. Integration has weakened us to the point where celebrities are begging us to shop with the enemy to keep their bills paid and we're calling that leadership. 

Stand up! Have a damn backbone! Have some damn pride! Fuck Target! And fuck Tabitha Brown for being a capitalist before being a black woman!

Pro black is the way to go. All the way. This is about survival, not sexuality, or religion. We need to be as accepting of eachother as we be to white people that learn an 8 count. Wanna invite everyone to the cookout but treat another black person cold. That will never be it. 

We are one ✊🏽

Black Matriarchs

The Beauty The Sacrifice The Pain The Longing The Hopefulness The Fear The Weight of being a black mother is something that is not being discussed enough. I am so grateful to Tina Knowles for sharing her story in her book Matriarch. She has helped me recenter my focus on my life's purpose.  In this moment I think about Tina on tour with Beyonce and how she supports her daughter and granddaughters night after night. I am thinking about Marian Robinson who uprooted her life in Chicago to spend 8 years in DC to support her daughter and granddaughters. I'm thinking of my mother who moved from Michigan to Ohio to support her 3 daughters and grandchildren. I'm thinking of my great grandmother who birthed 14 children and died too young. There are so many phenomenal women that keep their families at the center of their priorities WHILE living amazing and meaningful lives themselves.  I come from strong, independent and determined people. People who refused to accept the oppression ...

The Humble Genius

  The marginalized genius will always be more intelligent than the status quo genius. She is able to access perspectives unknown to her white male counterparts. Although they may share the same strengths and abilities, her oppression exposes her to problems and challenges not faced by the majority. This makes her the authority on certain social issues. She should instruct those with the authority to affect change on inclusion and dismantling oppressive systems. She is merely the instructor however, as she cannot facilitate the solutions herself. This seems like an inflammatory statement in THIS society due to white supremacy and patriarchy. If you subscribe to these oppressive systems, this statement will make you uncomfortable, angry even. Hold on to that feeling and reflect. I will continue talking to the rest of us and check in on you before we're done. Now, the topic is The Humble Genius, humility is honest not deluded. So declaring the opening statement is indeed humble. It is...

The Matriarchal Mind

Image
  I'm planting a seed. A seed of hope for a better future for black families. I'm not talking nuclear families. I'm talking about OUR families, which often do not mirror what others deem to be a "proper family". You don't need children to be a matriarch. How many black women do you know who look out for children (and others) that they did not themselves birth? How many child free aunties do you know that always comes through for their nieces and nephews? Black women are the true leaders of the black community. Our leadership looks very different than our men and others outside of our community. We are constantly ridiculed for our brand of leadership, but check the stats. WE UP! I started this blog because social media is not the correct format for me to truly and fully express myself. We cannot discuss many things in mixed company. I'm working on an offline format for us to communicate and fellowship with each other. Until then, use the comments section he...
