I published a small poetry pamphlet with my work on my bi-racial experience. It was a joy to write and I have to thank my instructors at Marshall University for giving me the opportunity to stretch my wings.

It has been a while since I posted anything! I am alive and well. I have been very busy with my studies as well as my hobby writing. I published my first book! And I have begun writing commentaries on social and political topics. I am also in my last semester! So, I have been busy. But I am back!

Mom always said when I woke up that I had a birds nest in my hair. 3b Hair life.

First time posting my actual opinion. Feels great. Def. sweatpants vibe.

I encourage people who consider themselves 'safe' and 'allies' to take the time to read "White Fragility". It is only through truly understanding Racism and the part one plays in it can you fight against it.

In today's climate when the people around us are saying "we can disagree on politics and still be friends" it is this term that comes to mind. They do not see their participation in New Racism. They do not see their complacency in the discrimination of their "black friends"

"New Racism is a term coined by film professor Martin Barker to capture the ways in which racism has adapted over time so that modern norms, policies, and practices result in similar racial outcomes as those in the past, while not appearing to be explicitly racist" -Robin Diangelo (White Fragility)

Children's books inspire the world and bring out our best ❤️ I have another book to add to my three kid's library.

I don't like classic large cookouts
I got limited exposure to the black side of my family, but the one cookout I went to with like 50+ people was awful. I DON'T LIKE SHARING FOOD. I saw uncle tony (name redacted for his dignity) dip his saliva spoon in the potato salad and act like he didn't do it!

Picking up my banned book this week for some distraction reading- 'All Boys Aren't Blue'. Any book worth banning is a book worth reading. And Marshall University doesn't ban books (Banned Book list kindly provided by Marshall University) 😉.
