Black Lives Have Always Mattered and So Has Your Silence

Well, Rainbow Peeps & Friends it’s Monday. Anoth

Well, Rainbow Peeps & Friends it’s Monday. Another day in America where I have had to wake up to cops killing a Black human, 20 years old. A child.

I’ve had to witness cops drawing their guns on a Black human, still in uniform, who has taken an oath to die for his country should the moment arise, be treated worse than gum underfoot.

A son calls his mother because he is afraid. Sound familiar?

A man says plainly, “I am afraid.” And the officer responds, “You should be.”

My #MondaysMotivation comes from The Great Sonia Sanchez, and it is to remember why I am here. I pray you do the same. I pray you are given the chance to do the same.

I feel like I am in a constant state of mourning for Black Lives.

Don’t let nobody be comfortable, ‘til we all are comfortable. And since we are not ok, no one else can be ok with racism & White supremacy either. Don’t be afraid to shake shit up!

My condolences to DMX’s family, friends, and the world. Journey well, good sir. Journey well.❤️

This #FridaysFlashback is dedicated to being young, wild, and free! Driving down the highways blasting DMX back during my senior year in high school and early years in college.

An old friend of mine absolutely loved DMX. He’d say, “do you hear what he’s saying? Did you hear that?” His lyrics spoke to people, resonated with people, and moved people.

DMX’s music is part of my Chicago growing up days. When people from our childhood memories pass on, even if we don’t know them personally, it creates a feeling of loss and deep nostalgia.

So, after work today, even with my lil blazer jacket on, I still went straight to Tidal and blasted some DMX as I drove home. While the memories of my youth and thoughts of his passing flooded my mind.

Live life to the fullest. And follow your dreams. Do you what you know you’re here to do. Fuck fear and fuck self-doubt. And slap the shit outta anybody who tries to stand in your way.

Go get that shit!

✌🏾❤️ & 🌈🌈

Rainbow Peeps and Friends!! It’s Friday-Eve and I am so glad about it!! 🙌🏾

Listen, today’s #ThoughtfulThursday is sweet and simple: Make sure your friends lift you up and support you.

Look at this thoughtful gift given to me by my friend. You know what it says? “I see you!” And some days that’s exactly what you need, and it’s enough to help you keep trucking along. Thanks @beeflysam ❤️

Also, here’s a reminder, BOOMERANG is coming, y’all! But it’s a process.

Have a great evening. 💕
