When asked how did I become .Chick, it wasn't just about being a black woman who loves beer. I am a black woman with an amazing Afro who loves beer.
It was all about the hair...
Black women hair is magical
Entitlement is being able to commit a felony and cry about not being able to fly home. Oppression is being murdered by the police while sleeping.
Let That Sink In...

When racists tell black people to go back to Africa. I decided to shoot my shot as well, her inbox is full of requests calling her bluff. (my response on the right)
Together for 11 years married today for 3 and it's been quite a ride. It is because of him I was introduced to the world of craftbeer. I love this man with every fiber of my being.

This sweet cuddly dog fought off 2 pits today that launched at me. He jumped in front of both of them and attacked them to save me. We both are fine. He doesn't have a mark on him but I can't say the same for the other dogs.
He looks sweet & innocent but he is about that life
Someone asked me what are my go to beers when stout season is over? Lol when is it over? It's NEVER over for me. I will drink a stout in 90 degree weather on the beach..🤣🤣😂😂..
I've done it before...
The racist soldier said the young black man was in the wrong neighborhood. So a group of my people showed up at his house.
This makes me smile...
I bet he didn't say a word to them
I am not a sensitive person but I am tired of allowing shit to slide. If I want to wear a Black People Love Beer shirt then I should be able to do so without having to explain and or defend it.
Dear Newcomers, the CRAFTBEER industry is NOT about competition. It is about community, comradery & collaborations. It creates friendships & families. We leave the competing to the macros.
This is why I will never allow the younger generations to shame Gen X.
We had to truly thug it out.
Schools are closing due to high winds. Lol, our parents would have told us.
"You better hope that wind blows your ass to school on time because you better not be late."🤣🤣
Danger is everywhere! One too many times I've had people tell me they are scared to come to

, meanwhile they live in a city listed in the top 10 with the highest crime rate and Chicago isn't in the top 25.
Stop believing false narratives.
21 years ago I was a 21 year old giving birth to my beautiful oldest daughter. Since she isnt here with me for her first "legal" drink since she serving the Airforce & deployed.. I ask that you all have a drink with me for her bday.
Happy Birthday Beautiful...I love you..
When someone tells me to think about my brand before I tweet. My brand is not a thought at this moment, before I am my brand, I am a Black mother, Black Wife, Black Daughter, Black Sister, Black Aunt, Black Friend. I am a Black Woman. I'm ok with risking it all to speak truth
You are an entitled dick to say you will only review a beer if a brewery sends it to you for free.. Its called supporting a small brewery or bottle shop by making a purchase. Especially during these hard times.

I became ABC because of my Afro. I love my hair and I celebrate it because most of my life I was taught that natural hair is nappy and ugly. I had to break the cycle with my daughters. Today is Crown Day- Black Hair Independence.
Show me your beautiful Crowns on this thread.
Seems like
@foundersbrewing
is putting more energy into blocking people on their Twitter account than they did to fight racism in their own brewery..
In 2021 still saying

Save your energy when it comes to beer ratings. Try the shit for yourself. If you like it great, if not move on. The beer you do not like, trade it with someone else, it may become their new fav. Beer is subjective. Life is too damn short to stress over ratings.
When people of color speak on the topic of Diversity in Beer. We are not asking for special treatment, we are simply asking for fair treatment and just mutual respect.
It's really not that complicated...
Natural hair is an emotional roller coaster for black women. It took me decades for me to embrace my hair after being programmed that it was nappy, unprofessional & ugly. My Black is Beautiful and I want other young black girls to embrace theirs.

I'm 40 years old and I have been at my job for 19 years. I told a millennial that and he asked what was wrong with me. I asked him what does he do for a living and he said he is unemployed. Lol...but I am the one with a problem. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Sooo a white man can threaten to kill an officer with a knife in his hand while walking towards that officer but an unarmed black man is shot 7 times while walking away from 3 officers. Let that shit sink in. Justice is not the same for us.
How I live my life in peace.

I do not EVER want to know how many calories is in the beer I drink. I do not need that type of negativity in my life. I equate that to a negative bank account balance.
Beer Twitter always gets such a bad rep, but in all honesty, it's pretty dope. I have a bunch of strangers that go harder for me than people I've known my entire life. I really wish I could sit down and have a beer with all of you guys.
Back in October, I started my journey to become a healthier me. I reached my goal to lose 50 lbs by my bday on 3/12. Today, I've lost a total of 60 lbs.
Looking and feeling great. ..
(Yes, I still drink beer 🤣🤣)
Celebrating Black History Month, Kicking it off with Theodore Mack, the First black brewery owner. Mr. Mack was a former Pabst employee, He assembled a group of investors under the United Black Enterprises banner with the hopes of purchasing the Blatz brand from Pabst.
I have a deep appreciation for breweries that continue to brew their staple beers because they taste damn good compared to what is selling at the moment.
Let black people have a moment with this one. I'm sure others are genuinely happy justice was served, but this was deeply rooted for us. This is one win out of other countless injustices. Give us a moment to process this.
Not beer related but a celebration...Yesterday my last born beautiful seed graduated from high school.. As a mom, I am overjoyed to see her move to the next phase of her life. College here, she comes in August...
Dear Racist Assholes, my beautiful young BLACK daughter is deployed in our US military & missing Christmas with her family to provide a blanket of freedom for you to snuggle comfortably under.
The lack of black breweries does not mean there is a lack of interest. It means we have a lack of funds and resources to fuel them. It is harder for black breweries to access capital than it is our counterparts.
Whoever created the concept that you work 8 plus hours a day. Run home take care of kids, cook dinner, clean the house only to repeat the next day to 30 plus years until you can retire on a fraction of what you actually made all those years..
Yo mama... this is some BS.
2nd truth..
I was blocked from a religious group today. They said Adam & Eve were white. I pointed out the fact of how POC were first inhabitants, there is no way a white man and woman birthed a world of people of color.
Craft Beerology 101:
Advice for a new craftbeer drinker?
My advice is to be open to trying beers yourself outside of reviews.
You don't always have to chase releaseses.
Watch out because everyone has an opinion on the beer.
Let's discuss...
