This is how I look when my nieces are telling me something that doesn’t make sense but I am giving them my full attention because it’s important for children to see that they are being seen AND heard.
People are like, “what if this was your grandmother?!” and I’m like…um…my grandmother was universally loved because she was…a good person who didn’t rule over countries? She just didn’t want us running in and out of her house.
Today at a West Bank gas station, a toothless older man called me a “Black Queen” and when I said thank you graciously, he asked for money for chicken. I didn’t have any cash on me and this man says in a low voice: “If I was your ole man, you’d always have money.”
Two Black women just walked past each other and they had the same boots on and they stopped, put their feet together and said, “OK BOOTS!” and giggled uncontrollably.
That is Black joy.
That is Black Girl Magic. ✨👑
Someone tell Teenage Ang that yes, we’re wearing shorts at Jazz Fest, even with the thighs we been having, and we don’t care because we are COMFORTABLE now! ☀️✨
So. Guys. What are we wearing for
@ava

#WrinkleInTime
? I’m considering a long braid or my big curls like Auntie Oprah. Also, lots of sparkle. Something about that film just SPARKLES. ✨✨✨
You know who helped me out a lot in my 20s and she don’t eem know it?
@HeyFranHey
Gratitude journals. Coconut oil on my cuticles. Yoga. All the things I started in my 20s because Fran recommended them have changed the damn game for me in my 30s.
Thanks sis. ✨🌿
Y’all. I do not speak in absolutes often but Fantasia put on one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen at
@jazzfest
and I’ve seen some things.
Then, when she was leaving, she held my hand and asked me to keep her in my prayers and of course I said “absolutely, sis.” 🩷☀️
Don’t get me wrong - as a good Catholic girl, I said a prayer for her soul.
But…I can’t unsee the terrible things she did and supported - on purpose or by default.
✨some news✨: I’m an Uptown Girl again.
You’re looking at the new Associate Director of Communications at Ursuline Academy! When you ask God to order your steps, be ready to move and move fast.
A Dominican girl walking the Ursuline halls - this is going to be fun. 🤍🖤🩵🤍
I hate how, as a Black professional woman, I still reread my emails/send to others to make sure they don’t sound aggressive, bitchy, or God-forbid - sassy.
Terrible societal muscle memory all up in me. SMH
The nephew’s first time out as Drum Major, and he’s leading the way. The way I screamed watching this video my dad sent me today. I am so proud of him. 💜💛
Our family t-shirts will be ready in time for the St. Aug vs. 35 game!
Girl. Juvie, Wayne, and Mannie used to drive their Hummers past my elementary school in the East blasting the best of Cash Money and I grabbed onto the metal fence to balance my solid twerk.
Please.
I also realized I am not at all familiar with most of Juvie music and I had no idea his music was this vulgar lol there’s no way y’all were listening to the uncensored version of this at a young age.. lol just no way
This photo strikes me hard as I was once the only black girl in ballets growing up. But like my mama taught us: we showed up and stood out and showed out with grace. ✨
Um. I just left happy hour and now I’m at a parade celebrating
@Beyonce
coming to NOLA for the
#RENAISSANCEWorldTour
and it’s the best time of my life. Anywhere, anytime I don’t mind. I don’t mind. 🪩🐝
I’m putting two and two together but are y’all telling me that man APOLOGIZED to the Falcons? For scoring a touchdown?
Wut?
APOLOGIZE TO THE FALCONS?!
In this economy?! On this land?!
Y’all. I was about to slide into some sadness and then I see
@quintabrunson
DJing on IG Live and I’m crying tears of actual joy. Thank you, Quinta 😂😂😂😂
My favorite part of Zendaya’s interview on
#OkayNowListen
was that she made it clear that she played a huge role in the writing, producing, financing, etc. of Malcolm and Marie. I think that gets lost.
I’m proud of her, yeah.
My first national media placement in my PR career and I watched it while in the Popeyes drive thru. Someone tell 19yo Angie we did it.
Let me tell you - I haven’t done traditional PR work in at least ten years and for my first time back, I have to say - I still got it. ✨
NBA Hall of Famer and commentator Charles Barkley made a generous $1 million donation to St. Mary's Academy in New Orleans after being inspired by a
@60minutes
story about young scholars who cracked a centuries-old math mystery.
And just like that, for the first time in my 32 years of being a New Orleans native, I was on the other side of the barricades under the bridge to get THIS for work.
💜💛
Is there a name for the official fan club of
@EdnaKarrHS

@WelISpokenToken
I watched it the other day and got pissed with how he talked to Donkey about not letting him stay on his swamp EVEN THO Donkey helped him get his damn deed. Ugh.
But see, I gotta thank God right quick because 16 years ago, I didn’t know where friends and family were. Today?
I got eyes and ears on everyone. They’re all safe. They’re all alive. And I gotta stop and thank God for that. Because whew!
