I've been so busy doing so much for so long... I haven't even posted a new blog.
But I have got to get back to it. So here's my beef today. I am tired of feeling like I have to defend everything anti-Black & everything misogynistic & everything dumb, stupid, ignorant and majorly ridiculous. I am unable to sit idly by and watch foolishness occur aorund me, but then I run the risk of being the angry black woman.
It's exhausting and I'm frankly tired & getting burnt out! BURNT, you hear me?
With that being said, I am keeping my commitment to ME to keep blogging. But also I need a vacation, so that needs to happen sooner rather than later. With every news story about y'all president and every FB post referring to Black women as "females" (when based on context clues you KNOW they meant bitches), I grow more and more weary. But I cannot give up on helping the world be better one response, conversation, blog post at a time. I was told that some of my blog posts are out there but I'll be that because this is the world as I experience it.
Just know that for now, I will be taking it a lil bit easier because I'm tired.
In the meantime, check out my friend Cheryl Giscombe's work on this subject:
