Why Are Republicans So Stupid?

Back in the beginning of 2020, when most of the country was mourning Kobe Bryant, I was paying attention to news clips about a new virus. I will acknowledge that when it first hit, I played it off, thinking it would be a new form of flu. And then Italy…

The Pervasive Effects of Generational Trauma on Black People.

Yesterday, I read an article by KourtneyNicoleWrites, entitled “Are Black people capable of Introspection?” I knew that I wanted to respond with an article of my own, but it took me roughly 24 hours to get my thoughts together. In quick summary, the author answers her own question, with which…

I Cannot Call Myself a Feminist. I am a Black Woman.

Regarding my position on feminism in the United States, I have long been on the fence. I was never quite sure how I felt about it. I knew that I was pro women’s issues: equal pay for equal work, autonomy in reproductive health, living in a harassment free environment, but…

The Greatest Lie the Devil Ever Told was that Black Men Ain’t Shit.

I was reading an article today written by Kennardo James entitled, “I Will Never Understand Interracial Dating”, and I was deeply moved by one of the tweets that he showcased. It read: “This is why Black women accept struggle love, abuse, being baby momma’s, not getting married, going 50/50, never…

Mind Your Own Fucking Business.

As children, most people can’t wait to grow up because they think they can do whatever they want to do and will not have to listen to anybody. Unfortunately, as adults, there are many things that you have no choice about. If you want to have a roof over your…

You treat this like this is a contest.

You treat this like this is a contest. Who is Blacker? Who is more authentic? I'm not playing the I-am-Blacker-than-you game. That is ridiculous. If you and Black Africans, and anyone else have it made. That is wonderful. More power to you. But I am talking about Black people's experience…

Still Not Victims. Black Medium Writers are Educators.

Several day ago, I wrote an article entitled, “Black Anti-Racist Voices Are Not Lifted to Highlight Black Victimization. It’s About the Disrespect;” and it garnered a response that I couldn’t ignore, nor could I respond to just in the comment section. Someone who seems to have read the article, offered…

First, I don't hate anyone.

First, I don't hate anyone. I'm not going to spend that kind of mental energy on people who are not in my life. Living life, having experiences and enduring has cultivated empathy, but it is difficult to have empathy for those who refuse to think for themselves. And I do…

I was rather transparent about my child's delivery because the normal biological and physiological function of women's bodies are still too shrouded in hushed whispers, mystery and taboo. When I was asked this questions it did not bother me to answer and I would even go so far to explain…

People Try To Force You to Surrender Your Grace.

As the 2021 transitioned into 2022, I decided that I would strive to exercise grace for the coming year. I need you to understand that this wasn’t a New Year’s resolution, but more of a mental shifting of gears. Now, I already know that the word grace has several definitions…
