I had the honor and privilege of singing the National Anthem yesterday. I sang for the family of a fallen soldier, for my brother (Air Force), and for my late father (Army)—may he continue to rest easy. Thank you for your service.

i’ve been asked to sing the national anthem tomorrow, and being that my south node placement is in aquarius, i’m terrified and would rather stay in the house, while my north node, which is in leo is like BITCH, THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO SHINE, YOU BETTER DO IT.

asking black athletes to do the heavy lifting here is a tough ask. i can tell you from experience as a former black athlete at a D1 public university, and as someone who currently teaches black athletes at a D1 public university: they should not have to bear this responsibility. but i get it.
