Episode 10: Ya Girl is Exhausted

It's been a while, but I'm back. I took some time to step back from things because my personal and creative life had become exhausting and overwhelming. In this episode I get personal about things I've been struggling with for the last few weeks.

Episode 9: Juneteenth: Free-ish since 1865

The 4th of July is canceled this year! While America received its independence on July 4, 1776 from Great Britan, it wasn't until June 19, 1865 that black slaves received their freedom due to the Emancipation Proclamation originally signed January 1, 1863. In this episode we talk about Juneteenth and why it's an important celebration for Black culture and why it's an important part of AMERICAN history.

Episode8: Black Men who Inspire

I wanted to take some time out to spread some posivity by showing some love to black men who have had an influence on my life. Each of the men I mention have helped inspire me, or shape me into the woman that I am personally and creatively and I will always have much love for them. Here's to honoring and celebrating Black Men!

All Black Lives Matter

If you believe black lives matter, then ALL black lives should matter. This includes black women and the black LGBTQ community. It's not just black men who are suffering from police violence and injustice. The fight of Black Lives Matter is for the entire race. All black lives have value and not just during protest and riots.

This is AmeriKKKa

A lot has happened in a week concerning the African American Community. As one of the most exhausting weeks I've ever experienced we witnessed racism, police brutality, social injustice, protest and riots because black America is tired.
