honestly, i need to expand my queer circle in the DMV

some great events i want to go i am going to this weekend for Black Pride [Read She’Baltimore and Brown Suga Bash]. And while i dont mind going solo, this could be a good moment to become acquainted with more faces and kick it. 

super thankful that my MOTHER modeled such a self loving, confident, and independent way of being.

blessed. 

“my weaknesses”

• i’m stubborn
• i have an ego (kanyesize)
• i really dislike being wrong
• i realy dislike when i dont get my way
• i have a thin line between caring/not caring
• i have the natural ability to find the negativity in everything

quotations around weaknesses reveal that i am totally fine with myself. in fact, i love myself. and i would be totally fine if these attributes didn’t change. 

insecurities DO NOT EQUAL weaknesses

that is flawed thinking and very revealing of how you (and possibly your friends) blur those two concepts. 

WHEN MY FRIEND GETS BACK WITH HER ASSHOLE EX

BUT WHEN I GET BACK WITH MY ASSHOLE EX, I’M JUST LIKE :

in reflecting on this year,

i am the most disappointed in the destruction of one friendship. i am disappointed because i care. although that singular relationship had the impact of me losing other people who i once considered friends, i still have only maintained respect for that one person. i often wonder if they ever think about me or our friendship; if they ever miss it, ever reminisce on our adventures or conversations, ever wish we were still friends. i know i do. today i received some closure and i am thankful, but i must be honest i am still disappointed about what WE made of the gift God granted us when our lives crossed paths. wishing you the best, while missing you

Trayvon Martin…

if the conversations do not address the devaluation of BLACK MALES’ lives then I am not interested. All other contexts are null and void to me. If people can’t acknowledge how those two identities impacted this whole tragedy then you are not really ready to talk about ‘change.’ Racism is a gendered experience. The threat of black masculinity for America’s comfort is used to being destroyed/refocused as evident in the nba/nfl, schools, and prisons….

sometimes when things seem physical, they are actually MENTAL. America has been suffering from a mental illness that has transgressed to ill actions. the medication is conversation and mobilization. I am always interested in a conversation about the following topics; privilege, colorblind, postracial, prison to pipeline, mass incarceration, and personal experiences around race formation.
