I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

I don’t understand how I’m still gaining followers on here. I haven’t posted in 5 months. And when I do, no one even talks to me. 🤣🤣🤣

Who is the greatest rapper turned actor of all time?!?! We said Bow Wow, Will Smith and Mos Def to name a few. We just realized that we should’ve said Queen Latifah. #willsmith #mosdef #bowwow #queenlatifah #GOAT #hiphop

I’m in search of some spooky instrumentals on Apple Music. I like to listen to scary music when I’m reading thrillers and horror. I’m trying to make a playlist. Any suggestions??

I have a 10-mile race coming up in 3 weeks and I’m not prepared. At all. My depression (I’m still getting used to saying this word) has been hitting really hard lately. If you’ve noticed that I’ve been off, that’s why. I can’t seem to get it together right now. I’m kinda ashamed…

In all seriousness, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this book. As much as it was frustrating to see the relationship between Jessie and W.E.B, it was so amazing to see some of our favorite black literary favorites were shaped and molded by this literary genius! #blackbooksky

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.
