Hey Chicago! If you live in or around Hyde Park area, don’t go to the new Barnes & Noble. Call & Response Books is AROUND THE BLOCK, Black owned by a husband and wife couple, and their selections are amazing. They host community events all the time and have a zine! Support them!
You need to be complainmaxxing. You need to be asking for help. You need to receive the help that’s given to you. You need to stop trying to do everything by yourself.
Unfortunately, it has to be you that changes. It has to be you that decides to live a different life. It cannot be your ancestors, spirit, or even god.
You are your own breakthrough. And you will absolutely break through.
