Astrology is so real. When all the girlies were saying May 12th is the beginning of your new life, I believed them. Today I start school after a 20 year haitus 🙌🏾 open.substack.com/pub/soulthin...

A friendly reminder that the scholarship of Zora Neale Hurston is also a part of Black Dandyism. #MetGala Read more on @thebarbedwire.bsky.social

I’m taking the summer off after this round of interviews. I already have a bunch of folks in mind for the fall season but it’s good to let things marinate and circulate. I’ll be boosting the old episodes as well cause there’s some good stuff in there.

“It took me many years to come to terms with what my aunt was doing. The betrayal hit harder because she’s my blood, but blood does not give anyone the right to abuse you.”

“Good elders lead by example, and people can’t give you what they don’t have. If they don’t have good character, morals, self-respect, discipline, or reverence for the protocol of the traditions they claim to practice, how can they lead you anywhere but to the road of madness?”

“Unresolved trauma is no excuse for being a menace to the community. This is why there are truly no solitary practitioners within these traditions. Everyone needs the system of checks and balances, of routine readings and cleanings to stay on the right path.“

There are too many stories of spiritual abuse in the community. Most times people don’t say anything because abuse recovery is a very hard thing to navigate. This is my story. It’s a bit long but I hope it helps someone else recognize the signs. soulthings.substack.com/p/when-blood...

I’ve been taking the subways by myself since I was 7 years old and I’ve never been accosted or disturbed. I know that isn’t because I’m so street smart. Most of the time I had my head in a book or my Gameboy 😭

As someone who grew up in many different homes, around all sorts of people. As someone who started losing folks at a very young age, I’m realizing that that Gitana energy has been with me since very young.

Then there’s a comment that was left in Hebrew on my Twitter version of this post that says the cast can’t be Black or Brown cause the story isn’t about a Black culture. Stop talking to me. Please.

This post has garnered some unwanted attention from animation folks that I didn’t ask for. Why are yall in my email asking if I want to hire you for this project? Thirsty, much?
