Only black girls have to go through this and that’s why I stopped caring. You not finna police the hair that grows outta my head and make me feel like I gotta drop $300 every month. No way. You gon see these curls.
I want to be a safe space for the human experience. I want people to be able to get it “wrong” with me, to fuck up and make mistakes without me taking it as a slight. Life is trial and error. I want my love to outweigh my perception of wrongdoings.
when u really understand what builds a healthy mind/life, all distractions start to look the same
all the headlines look the same to me — pushing varying levels of insecurity n fear
Safi Faye passed away yesterday at 80.
A lighthouse, a tapestry, a manifold voice, she was the first continental African woman to make a film.
Faye was an educator and archive, her documentations of especially her Serer community in Senegal are gifts.
Au revoir, Tantie 🤍
Never internalize feedback that fundamentally makes you unsure of who you are. Yes, be teachable and always look out for ways to improve but understand that not everyone is qualified to provide you with the quality of feedback that’s relevant to your growth.
I have no choice but to push forward bc I can’t stand what it feels like to sit in my pain. Ima transmute those feelings every time. I love me when I’m growing. I’ve seen what it looks like to let that pain consume you, ion want no parts.
