Just because there’s an opening in your schedule doesn’t mean you’re free. Everything doesn’t need to be filled up and don’t let anyone try and fill it for you. That’s a you space. Take it.

I remember how painful it was for Gabby Douglass to navigate her hair on her own being the only Black girl in a predominantly white sport. This video got me a little emotional because these girls have each other in ways many of us had to navigate these spaces solo.

We don't talk about the Leesburg Stockade Girls enough. July 1963 fifteen girls ages 12-15 were jailed for challenging segregation laws for attempting to purchase tickets at the front entrance of a theater instead of the back.

Denzel wasn’t “blaming the devil.” Some of y’all heard what he said and are triggered by your evangelical frameworks and get defensive. His well of wisdom and language come from a different tradition. Adversity and tests to our character DO often come at our highest moments.

We gotta stop shaming contemplative worshippers. Just because they’re sitting during the music worship portion of service doesn’t mean their sitting down on God.

Years ago, i sat next to Toni Morrison when she was visiting one of my grad classes. She leaned over to me during class and i was so nervous not sure what she was going to say. She said, “This class is so long ya’ll sit in here every week? Do you get a bathroom break?” 💕💕

I do think that some churches and pastors are obsessed with marriage. For some reason, they can’t imagine a valuable Christian life outside of that realm. They can’t help but saturate their sermon examples with it. They can’t help but define their small groups with it.

Everyone should take the time to watch this. Play this in your classrooms, bible studies and living rooms and have conversations about it. Watch it until you get it.

“What do you think?” “What books do you suggest?” “What are your thoughts on all of this?” “What can we do?” “What resources do you recommend?” “Can u tell us what to do?!”

Black women, you can be married to a royal, invited to give a poem at an inauguration, win the most tennis Grand Slams, or be the Vice President of the entire United States, and your Blackness -even if it's mixed- will be a problem.
