You can read more in my initial post - which, ironically, was posted right before I was harassed for taking a long bath on a Saturday morning (and yes, there’s video).

After receiving some support, I then experienced harassment at several hotels, including Marriott and Hilton owned properties. Unacceptable. Black women are apparently not allowed to enjoy their stays there - especially bold ones like me.

Because of this, I found myself blackballed and, as of February, have been unhoused. Despite reaching out for legal support for a consumer law case, I haven’t had one lawyer accept what would be a slam dunk case. Weird, right?

I’ve owned my PR agency KC & Co Communications for 10 years this May, where I’ve fought for the rights of Black people, women, minorities and workers. (kccopr.com)

Question for y’all: should a hotel call the police on a Black woman for taking a bath?

Well, the Residence Inn in White Oak they threatened to do just that. Because I came across something I wish I didn’t and now, I am a whistleblower.

Saving here for reference for me lol

a card featuring some predictions for 2025: you will eat something weird but transcendent, you are going to see a bird that looks pretty normal but it's gonna be kinda odd, weird plant, you will touch the water, a small bug will land on you long enough for you to look at it closely, you will find something that you thought was lost forever

2025 Predictions

Is this a good decision?

Today is Thursday????

Saw someone’s Twitter feed today and it really looks like the time when the hyenas and Scar took over Pride Rock. Dark dark energy.

I hate these things. I’m assuming they’re going with sun signs.

Agreed that you shouldn’t keep your chart up. Folks that aren’t well meaning can sus things out.

That said, I will say your Venus and Mars placements? I know your kind 🫢🫢🫢

Oh good, I was wondering where their statement was

I need to go to a rage room, followed by a massage/spa day, followed by a hotel room close to my closest airport (room service pls), followed by a direct flight to a warm, tropical island within the next 60 days MAXIMUM.

Something to keep in mind for 2025

My only New Year’s resolution is to read more books. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

There’s a Simple New Year’s Resolution That Will Help You Read More Books I tried it—and the results were fantastic.

I really want to read more, but I’m often too distracted to get around to it. I think I finally have a solution.

Happy Birthday!

Kerry Washington is one of the best actresses of our generation and we truly do not talk about it enough.

The older I get, the pickier I become.

Yep. Jomo too - blocks the apps before a certain time of day (of your choosing) and you can only get around it by entering why you wanna use it AND only gives you 15 mins to do so.

Truth is, I’m tired.

I have been screaming this from the mountain tops
