Millenials sit between two generations that don't understand where we fit. Generation X thinks we're still green and wet behind the ears with baby milk on my breath. Gen Z wants us to retire so they can climb the corporate ladder when we got another 24 years before we can even HOPE to retire.

Gonna invest in this book as my Bible reader for 2027 but I also wish something like this existed for Black LGBTQIAP++++ People because NEWS FLASH we also love God and the sacred text of our christian faith. We are also a consistent and strong demographic within The Black Church.

A year later and his release date has been bumped up. He doesn't have money to pay his lawyers but he has money to pay off inmates to make his prison stay comfortable. There is a culture ready to welcome him back with open arms upon release. This man is not reformed and probably never will.

I feel like Durand and Victoria are both experiencing the same backlash that I don't like. When they were the independent underdogs everybody loved them but now that they're mainstrean Durand is a problematic diva and Victoria's music is suddenly "boring".

Hoodoo Heritage Month and it feels so appropos to sit with the prayers of my Ancestors during this time. As people begin their annual sharing of this photo of COGIC founder C.H. Mason I would like to offer that how certain Black Christians refer to themselves as "Saints" may be Hoodoo as well.

Possibly unpopular opinion. People do not owe social media their failures, struggles, or losses. If you judge your unedited unfiltered life against someone else's edited curation that is a "You" problem.
