From my experience directly working with boys these last few years, it mostly be the men in their lives sucking the Black boy joy out of them. Then they stop listening to the women in their lives around a certain age and it becomes a true uphill battle for them to be happy
Men thinking that what they go through is so unique, is patriarchy. And it’s even more ridiculous when you understand they are standing in a locked cell with the keys in the door but they just won’t unlock it
7 years ago today Avery Chanel was killed 5 days into pride month. She should still be here, and if it wasn’t for transphobia and antiBlackness she would be.
Remembering her death is a way to activate our commitments to black trans lives and trans futures.
Watching the final scene of ‘All Dogs Go to Heaven’ makes me even more emotional knowing that she & her mother became victims in the hands of her father before the film was released.
The crew was so devastated that they had to stop working for weeks: hearing her voice recordings was too painful.
A tragic story. A talent gone too soon!
A era Bad foi a fase mais livre do Michael: ele se libertou do pai e não tinha mais a imagem ligada ao grupo, então pode fazer 100% o que queria e ser mais do que o garoto fofo do Jackson 5. Ele sabia do poder que tinha e o sucesso que tava fazendo, e se permitia sentir isso.

Rest in Power, Jade Aniya Callwood 💔🕊️
This radiant, brilliant HBCU senior at Tuskegee University was taken far too soon, leaving her family, friends, and the entire Golden Tiger family in complete shock.
Jade, a 21-year-old shining light from Conyers, Georgia, was a dedicated senior majoring in Environmental, Resources and Plant Sciences on track to graduate this May. Known for her infectious smile, sharp mind, and vibrant spirit that lit up every room she entered, Jade embodied excellence, passion, and purpose.
From graduating Heritage High School in 2022 to thriving on campus and making her mark in the College of Agriculture, Environment and Nutrition Sciences, she was building a legacy rooted in service and impact.
May her memory continue to inspire every young scholar chasing their dreams at an HBCU and beyond.
Rest easy, Queen. Your light will never fade, you will be remembered, celebrated, and carried forward always. 👏🏾
