Love, Forgiveness & Unity Are Not Layaway Plans for Justice

February 21, 2022

(I wrote this love letter after the trial of the murderer of Brotham Jean.) Dear Love, Forgiveness and justice are not the same.Forgiveness and justice are not the same.Forgiveness and justice are not the same. Forgiveness is weaponized and used to manipulate people into believing that those who give it are better than the one on the receivin[...]

…love, make sure they capitalize the b-word

February 21, 2022

Dear Love, During the summer of 2020, the Associated Press (AP) updated the writing style rules to now capitalize ‘B’ in Black when referring to people in a racial, ethnic, or cultural context. Although most Black writers, curators, activists, and advocates have been doing so for a long time, our work and words aren’t always accepted as mainstr[...]

…emotional tax is expensive, love

February 21, 2022

Dear Love, Everyone knows about the infamous date of April 15th. It’s the date that the U.S government has set into place as the deadline for you to pay your taxes. Of course, if you get a refund, you gleefully ignore that date and frolic about with your stacks of cash, but if you are the one who owes the piles, it’s not the most pleasant day. Yo[...]

…No Longer waiting to exhale

February 21, 2022

Dear Love, Casually mention the ‘shoe will drop’ feeling that comes up. It’s ugly, bitter, cruel, and probable. Let’s not forget the feeling of guilt that you’re having way more good days in a row than some of those you love and that feels unfair and as heavy as the weighted blanket I bought a few weeks ago. (I’m late, I know, but y’all, t[...]

…..Staring racism in the face leaves a scar

February 21, 2022

Dear Love, I wanted to share something with you. In 2009 I purchased my very first car, a red Ford Mustang. I named her Ruby. At the dealership that evening there was a system outage so I couldn’t sign my paperwork. The dealership gave me dealer tags to have on the car and I would return the next day. I went to work and closed the store. As I w[...]

….it’s ok to keep that hobby for yourself, love

February 20, 2022

Dear Love, There are a lot of reasons why we are obsessed with hustling; fear of failure, the constant need to be busy, needing more money, trying to break generational curses, etc. However, what have you kept for yourself? Shouldn't you give the very best of yourself to yourself? Many of us are still hunkering down right now and following clear fact[...]

….gather your coins, love: 10 black-owned shops

February 20, 2022

Ooh, goin’ up, goin’ up, motherland, motherland drip on meldbeyonce, black parade Dear Love, We are in the thick of Black History Month and yet I've been feeling underwhelmed. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month but this time it's falling flat for me and maybe even you too. M[...]

….Nightmares, daydreams, & reminders of the speech

February 20, 2022

Dear Love, I know love letters are supposed to make us feel good and I want us all to feel good, but this love letter may be a little different. I have to ask you a question and it's going to take you to a time when you went from a Black girl free to dream to a Black girl with a mission. So here goes..... When did you hear the speech? Yeah, that one.[...]

I received such a beautiful gift yesterday from my clients at HAND 

I was brought on to curate their anti-racism learning series and it was one of the BEST projects I’ve worked on. 

Thank you for entrusting me and thank you to all of your members who were so engaged and knocked the learning objectives out of the park 👏🏾👏🏾
