I’m in @voguemagazine PRINT! I need to digest why this is crazy-I’m a FAT BLACK WOMAN. There are literal “statistics” (google it) claiming black women are the ‘least desirable’ demographic. WELL THIS SAYS 🗣FUCK UR STATISTICS BITCH. Stand up. Be seen. Be beautiful. Its a new day!
OTH alone brought $259million in revenue to NC while we filmed there. Imagine how many 100s of millions of $$ #Georgia stands to lose on countless shows + films that could leave the state if it commits to treat women like incubators instead of humans #HB481isBadForBusiness

🌸A #feminismfriday reminder from bell hooks🌸:
"...labeling ourselves feminists does not change the fact that we must consciously work to rid ourselves of the legacy of negative socialization.”
The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives.
We must take on the NRA and pass commonsense legislation to keep our children safe.
