Growing up, I thought leprosy died out in the Bible days. I was quickly disabused of this notion during my first semester at UH. Through my time as a student, I learned that it had changed names and that the first Black graduate student at UH, Alice Ball, had discovered the cure.

I have multiple date offers… and very little time left on this island.
My friends are jerks and saying that I should invite them all on one date and let the best man win in case anyone wants to know how unhinged married women are.
I need better weed out questions, apparently.

Me the other day when I posted swimsuit photos on Instagram and the app told me 60 unique people DM’d my photos to someone else.

Someone told me there was a group chat that was talking about me and immediately my mind went “wow… a fan club 🥹” and that’s when I knew I had real issues.

This is wild because I know damn well I didn’t hallucinate the natural hair movement and transition of the Y2K era.
Yall are so ahistorical and have such short memories.

Mrs. Obama the only reason I DON’T where my hair natural is because motherhood drained my schedule of time to care for hair at this length. I’m not wearing my hair straight because white women made me. Cut it out with the pitiful self-hating antics!

WATCH: Michelle Obama says black people can’t swim or go to the gym due to “white people hair standards.” “Braids are for y’all so we can work harder.”

I was in a documentary— a love letter to Black educators & our survival.
I keep replaying this one line:
“It’s more likely for you to be born on your expected due date, live to be 100, & die on your birthday than it is for a Black person to become a professor.”

I’ll never forget one of my HS teachers explaining to me that for someone to end up infantry, the military likely took their scores, looked at them, and said— we have absolutely nothing better for you to do or be than run with a gun. 😭
It was mean. But it stuck with me.
