I honestly think I’m more afraid that so many sisters think marriage means they will not be in the same situations as “baby mamas” because they will be “wives” and every women’s retreat I’ve attended and married woman I know showed me that’s a lie.

We’ve been tip-toeing around it for a while but, at some point, we’re just gon have to rip off the band-aid and tell the truth: For as much as we stand on their shoulders, elder Black women create so many barriers for young sisters and deference is wearing thin.

We can love her and still say Bey is wrong for Ivy Park’s size exclusion. You can’t celebrate the inclusivity of your other projects, having plus size dancers and background singers, but ignore us *again* when it comes to this. The exclusion is intentional and I’m tired.

I’ve made the decision to pursue single motherhood in 2021. I’m nervous and scared AF but I’m ready for this phase of my life. I’ll share parts of the journey as I can. Too often, sisters are going through this without information and support from other sisters.

Van Jones said a weight has been lifted off this country and I immediately changed the channel. No amount of revisionist history can change the fact he worked hard to humanize a White supremacist President.

I don’t know what Jesus Is King sounds like and I never will. The intersection of my Blackness and my faith is too sacred and holy to listen to a Trump lover who routinely disrespects my ancestors.

When Megan gets attacked by all these dudes, it feels especially egregious because they know she’s alone. Her parents and grandparents are gone. She has no siblings. It’s just really disgusting.

Will Smith has been and continues to be so vulnerable and transparent about his own work and healing journey. And it all seems incredibly genuine. May his work be fruitful.

Finding out Brian McKnight is a terrible human being has been disappointing. I don’t care how folks try to justify it, you don’t disown your kids. You can choose not to deal with them but they’re still yours. And you don’t pour salt in that wound on social media. May he rot.
