looking up at the cuban flag while visiting havana in early april.
standing in front of an alice coltrane mural at uclaβs hammer museum with friends and exhibit curator, erin christovale.
casually chatting with kirk franklin post-interview.
from coltrane to cuba to kirk (not to mention political chaos), this yearβs already been one for the books - in the most and least fortunate of ways.

itβs such a stark difference.
rhythm & flow season 1 they were giving CRITIQUES. specific suggestions, very pointed instructions for growth. honest estimations of their potential in the industry given their current artistry.
i donβt know WHAT they were on season 2. iβm pissed all over again.
my mama made a bingo card, my brother made a bingo card, bae made a bingo card, my auntie made a bingo card, my best friend made a bingo card

the brilliance of scandal that often gets missed is how well it portrays peopleβs perceptibility to power.
your claws are dulled, eyes are shut, ethics dimmed when you spend too long in the βwinners circle.β
when the totality of your life is wrapped up in staying there.
leaving tomorrow instead of sunday. not trying to see what that phallic formed winter storm has to offer.
