I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"
@Mhm_ShesAfrican@VivaLaNneoma Omg yes!! Do it. Never too late! Before Chioma introduced us, she described you perfectly: beautiful and could be a model
Adele reveals to Rolling Stone that “I Drink Wine” from her new album ‘30’ was originally 15 minutes long.

I want Black women to get comfortable with telling people “you’re not doing enough for me” & “I want more than you are capable or willing to provide.” More times than not people come into our lives and leave with more than what they had and we’re left with nothing. That’s dead.
My heart broke a little on Monday.

@haleighavila27@drivingmemadi This is very true. I struggled with judging my younger self based on the lessons I learned later in life. My 28 yr old self knew better. My 20 yr old self did not. I did the best I could with what I knew and what I had.
@VivaLaNneoma I discovered that I could do this in 2018 and it really changed the game lol gives me the boost I need to be social after a long ass day 😌
