- I'm eating Haitian food by a woman who owns a cafe in Crown Heights you'd miss if you walk too fast. I visit her every time I'm home. We're catching up for an hour. Just us. Talking about adventures & self-trust... When she goes, "Lemme go deposit money. Watch my shop."
- HBO Max has a reality show called βHomegrown,β where Atlanta farmer Jamila Norman helps families who want to transform their backyards into fruit & veggie gardens do so. And itβs so good. Iβm learning so much, and how necessary is someone like her as the need grows.
- I told my friend about this and she said, βSomebody sacrificed the right goat in Haiti,β and I screamed.Bedbugs have taken over Paris and have infested places like the subway, movie theaters, and the airport. Parisβ deputy mayor warns: βno one is safe.β
- I have never seen my parents FIGHT. Arguments, sure. But never fight. Never had a moment where things were cold btwn them. So I asked them on a call this morning what was the toughest period of their rβship. If there was ever a time they maybe hid from my sisters and I?
- You know what? Hell yeah.
- So, Iβm at Target, right? Skincare aisle. I overhear a dude on the phone with his friend, asking him what toner is or how do you decide on a cleanserβ¦ I go up to him and offer my expertise. He happily accepts. And I spend a half hour showing this dude the WONDERS of skincare.
- β¦yβall were not joking about magnesium supplements. As soon as it kicked in, anxiety VANISHED. Like, I am chillin. What in the hellβ¦
- I would have bawled my eyes out. Literally, right there. Sheesh.
00:00 - My Haitian ass mom encouraging my sister to whine her waist has me weeeeak.
00:00 - Guys. I was walking on the street, minding my business, when this old Black woman in a wheelchair strolling behind me goes, βBaby. If you donβt move them beautiful wide hips out my wayββ
- Seeing Angela Davis truly out here, once again, as a teacher/organizer/active participant in the movement alongside two generations after her own is glorious. Sheβs walking beside, not above, us. I love it so much.
