Something that I’ve observed over time: All women of all generations, have the capacity to enable misogyny. It does not belong to one age group like I used to believe.
aite so simply put, im glad K*3th Lee is getting his bread and recognition. but there are so many actual Black food journalists, food critics, and chefs/food personalities that should have been given the platforms he has now. he does a lot of good for the communities so this isnt

This was me. I was paranoid my entire pregnancy with the middle baby. Whenever I wanted to communicate with him, I ate a popsicle. He would instantly respond 😂
I pitched Essence for a skincare article. Beauty editor at the time butchered it for sponsored Vaseline placement (cocoa radiance launch). I wasn’t happy with the edits so they never published it and never worked with me again.
I should also note - as someone reminded me - that getting jumped by Rick Ross's ppl is why you never see Vlad on camera for his interviews... he ain't in the room. It's a combined level of throwing rocks & hiding hands and disrespect.
When you see content that you don’t like, block the content creator. Engagement pushes the content more. Blocking and saying you don’t like the content suppresses the content.

The list of skincare brands that are not pro 🍉 or have connections to capital funding groups that are supporting the war is very long.
This thread, over the next few weeks will provide a list of brands that you should reconsider supporting.
If you’re considering getting a chemical peel, I highly suggest you try using Turmeric Toner by Skin Garden first. It works on even the oldest scars in less than 30 days for a fraction of the price 🤝🏾
I was bitten on my hand, my husband was bitten on the leg. Your homeowner’s insurance will not cover injuries for most breeds (hers was clearly a pit mix). Put them up.
We don’t know your dogs. And we have to defend ourselves and the homeowner always sings the same song

Greasy skin being the standard for what healthy skin should look like will always be my skincare pet peeve.
$32 to have greasy looking skin for 10 minutes is laughable.
Vaseline is $8 a jar and you can look greasy for hours.
Let’s kick things off with a little $$$ to shop tomorrow shall we?

Fannita is another monster made by the influencer machine. Y’all saw her hop on a flight in the middle of the night and share a hotel room just to gaslight another black woman for TARTE.
I’m disconnecting a call with an ACTUAL bill collector in less than 1 minute. I pray for discernment for people who are on the phone with a scammer for hours.
These scammers are pros. They know what you’re going to say and they know exactly how to counter your argument with one that makes sense. They flood you with adrenaline and keep you in the phone for hours...

My country man cooked me steak and mashed potatoes and corn on the cob last night. All I had to do was butter some bread. They cooked me exactly what I wanted for Mother’s Day. It was beautiful.
I’ve been an auntie since the day I was born but baby I’m not YOUR auntie. Don’t call me that. If you are 10+ years younger than me, you’re lucky to call me Aprill cause it’s really Mrs. Coleman. You wanna play those faux elder games do it FR.
As a service provider, people are irrational when it comes to their dogs. Your dog does not know me. Put your dog away. If you have made a call for someone to be at your home for whatever reason, put your dog away.
Good read. Air conditioning needs to be more accessible and just because a system could last longer than 10 years doesn’t mean it should. And lower income customers deserve financial relief from systems that cost $6k +
While it is going to be disappointing, this also opens the door to giving opportunities to deserving Indie brands.
My goal is not to finger wag at any point. This is about reconsideration. There are many brands that I will struggle with divesting from.
A/C systems have advanced tremendously in the past five years. It’s not commendable to hold on to an old, inefficient system. Especially systems that take R-22. It causes health issues, power issues and financial issues.
These brands are SO comfortable in racism, Youthforia was already called out about their range but the founder thought it was funny and tried to be hilarious with coming out with a Black shade. I wish her the worst. If I said what I wanna say, I’ll get wiped clean from this app
Her black employees were underpaid (all two of them), the formula on some of her products needed work, her Juneteenth post calling black men sorry (paraphrasing) and then editing it…
Everything is so depressing on socials and in real life right now, people being killed, rent high, inflation terrible, neyo still bald under them hats ☹️
Let’s lighten everything up 🤕 what’s your favorite moisturizer for the fall and winter? Do u change ur sunscreen? Something
I am really confused about my continuous use of sunscreen as an African woman. Here’s why:
The body makes vitamin D when sunlight hits the skin. It starts when the skin absorbs rays in the invisible ultraviolet B (UVB) part of the light spectrum. Sunscreen prevents sunburn by
You know, we celebrate these black brands selling to equity firms, but these firms are funding a genocide. Whether it be directly or second hand.
Honeypot sold to Compass Diversified. This is their Investor relations company.
We can be aware of many things at one time.
Kendrick v BBLDrizzy
Iran and Israel
Genocide in Congo
Simmons being a rapist that ran away to Bali to dodge prosecution.

It’s like… ok… you don’t like me.. now what? Seriously, what’s next? What’s the worst you can do other than tire yourself out talking about me to another bitch???? That’s a you problem. Mortgage still due.

When he tried to retire a stripper he was dating. And she talked about his weird behavior. How he talked down on her being a stripper. And has the nerve to make music praising them. A weirdo.
I’m not interested in Cécred.
I’m predicting an unreasonable price point during a time where people cannot afford groceries.
Celebrity brands also require something that Beyoncé can’t give: a personable demeanor. Think Haus Labs, Rare Beauty, Pattern. They talk TO US.
It is not being marketed as a black hair care line. More non black influencers received initial PR packages than black.
She is taking the new direction in beauty marketing: black owned but diverse consumers.
1. I watched the whole teaser.
2. For PR/Comms, it’s unwise to feature non-Black clients in a teaser promoting a presumably Black hair care line, especially during
#BlackHistoryMonth
. Black audiences will find this to be a bit off-putting. Black hair is a socio-political issue.
I planted chamomile, thyme, basil and cilantro. I also planted some dahlia tubers, but they don’t look healthy but it won’t hurt to try them anyway.
Sweet alyssum is sprouted and so have the zinnias.
Loofah, Jamaican sorrel and lettuce next.
Beyoncé dishes on her hair routine, and how the tricks she learned from hair care while on tour are incorporated into her new hair care line

Going to speculate about Bey don’t yell at me
She’s not going to speak up for Palestine bc she and jay z bought a 200 million dollar home during the pandemic and they aren’t rich enough to have
That’s why she’s on tour back to back, perfume, hair line, commercial etc
