When we measure abuse or harmful behavior by length of time endured rather than it's impact, we affirm the belief that everyone must endure it for an unspoken amount of time before acting. 

I first want to apologize for the possibility of my work ever being weaponized by those who cause harm. I see the way people are actively attacking DEI and fear my work may lead them to believe I align with their harmful beliefs. I do not.

The NFL is a celebrated reflection of America. This is what America wants and allows to continue.

People who believe in anti-Blackness aren't always able to tout their beliefs proudly and loudly. Most wait in the shadows for seemingly "justified opportunities". When these opportunities arise they run quickly to them and are loud about why Black people deserve to be dehumanized and more. Ryan Ken (@ryan_ken_acts) made a really good video of White people's reaction to Will Smith's slap and how they fantasized of an opportunity to double down on their disdain for us. I can't find it but if you do please send it to me.

Join me in a quick moment of celebration and grief. 

There are absolutely more children, but these are the ones I come across being used in defense of antiBlackness often. Each “child” is linked to a piece of my work that may be helpful in understanding their relation to anti-Blackness. I’ve had a lot encounters like this since posting my work online and a lot of examples of how I’ve seen this compacted harm take place. I’ll share a few here.

Being Black isn't a crime or a death sentence or an act deserving of punishment but the harmful behaviors perpetuated through the hate of Black people, make it so. When we pretend that these White centering and seeking behaviors are a sure way towards success, we gateway greater harm. We permit harm towards others, ourselves, and our communities. Promoting “foot in the door” antics in any form is harmful.

WW love a good flip and reverse. They will use anything they can from crocodile tears to quotes from Black leaders to place themselves back on that pedestal.

Before you judge me, make sure you already judged capitalism and both our daddies.

We cannot "Black Girl Magic" our way out of White supremacy. I am so sorry.

I want us all to unpack the deep-rooted belief that some people "deserve" to be murdered. I want us to be honest about what makes certain people deserving of having their life taken from them, and others not. 

Most of us are so much closer to being Sandra Bland or Sonya Massey, than being Kamala Harris or Simone Biles. 

Beyond the obvious harm caused by the years worth of performative action we've seen, the most insidious has been the decline in demand for, or rather the decline in willingness to pay for, our work. 

Doubling down is the easiest option when confronted with unsafe practices; that's why so many people do it. 😃

Using the harm you've caused Black women, and most likely are continuing to cause Black women, as a means to promote your political agenda is not activism. Hope this helps. 

The truth is: y’all only love Black people when we’re being used as pawns. Black people are being murdered daily and you could care less. 

You can't be extremely absent in your child's life while being abusive towards their other parent and still be "a good guy". This myth, along with several others, center the dignity of men over the safety of those they harm.

My favorite pastime is sending White women my link for them to pay me to answer their "genuine" questions and getting absolutely no response. 🙃

The beautiful thing about boundaries is they have to be intentional and tied to your values. If they aren't then they're not boundaries, they're you trying to control someone.
