    🚨 Extremely excited to share the cover of my debut book, No Sense In Wishing. An essay collection that explores how cultural products—albums, films, community, etc—transform us. It travels from Baltimore to Lagos to NYC and back. Out everywhere July 8 via Atria Books. 😤🦀

    A white boy that work at the healthfood store just called me “King” while I was buying some ginger root. My whole week is ruined.

    It’s so crazy to know the response to young adults speaking out against mass murder and occupation of innocent people is military occupation

    Unlike many, I don’t think Kendrick even hates Drake. I think he just don’t take that nigga serious and is offended that somebody so lame is still walking around like they’re not a lame because they got bread and relationships they essentially paid for. We all know one of those.
