In bittersweet news, I will be moving from OKC to Atlanta in late July to pursue my Master’s in Africana Studies at Georgia State. I have decided to lean into what I’m most passionate about: the empowerment of Black people and amplifying our voices and stories. 🖤✊🏾🖤

We’re shaped by our past, but we don’t have to be defined by it.

Any politic that requires you to strip others of their human dignity is not politic to be proud of.

Interrogate your beliefs. Interrogate your feelings. Interrogate your behaviors.

Black American music history is worth being studied ESPECIALLY if you call yourself a part of its legacy. It’s significant.

“Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers.” This is unacceptable. This baby died over a resource that should be free. Absolutely disgusting to call this justified.

Killing Black children is just target practice for these people. State-sanctioned violence will always be “justified.” Cops can’t police cops.
