Here she is! The cover to my first book. "A Black Girl in the Middle: Essays on (Allegedly) Figuring it All Out!" If you'd like, you can pre-order a copy. The links are in my bio. Isn't she cute? Doesn't she look like she comes from a loving home?

Not every black person you meet is an expert on race. They’re just an expert on their experience, which is why doing the work is necessary to fully comprehend how nuanced black people are.

I want us to be kinder to The Girls (Normani, Chloe, Halle, Ari, Victoria, Teyana etc.) If the music isn’t for you, it ain’t for you. Fine, but it takes a lot to sing, dance, perform, create a brand and vibe and so forth. They’re figuring it out in front of us. Give some grace.
