lol I always think of the random older Black lady who stopped my grown self from buying pricier pasta. "sweetheart the store brand is cheaper, just look further down the aisle." I wasn't concerned about the price but I value Black folks sharing life skills with other Black folks
Can I share two examples of how Black people I didn’t know showed up and/or protected me?
The first time was when I was attempting to buy furniture for my first apartment right out of college. I was at a furniture store in Virginia trying to navigate buying a bedroom set.
Who makes the @Starbucks playlists? Playing Solange's "Losing You" is a DEVELOPED choice... also playing Hippocampus in Italy 🤭 If I hear y'all play Healy next I'ma fall out. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
having friends who don’t like you is a real thing 😭 not even in a hater way.. you can just tell they genuinely don’t like who you are as a person but are scared to end the friendship
