Thank you to my mom and dad for hugging me and telling me I’m beautiful so I don’t have to sit online trying to bully other black women for their looks because they’re not the right kind of “representation”
Next August , 2027 at this exact time, you will be standing in the places you used to dream about. Living your most beautiful rich life. Send this to yourself.
This is what is meant by ‘male leadership’ in a heterosexual relationship btw. They share values but he’s more unflinching in expressing them & protecting them, which inspires her bc she’s more naturally accommodating
Sorry but the discourse around Tyla’s identity has exposed something that deserves to be called out: expecting Africans to understand themselves primarily through a Black American racial framework, while refusing to engage with African’s countries’ racial hierarchies and colonial histories, is a form of xenocentrism that has already become xenophobic in this case.
At some point there has to be intellectual curiosity from
BA. Black Americans are not the only Black people with histories of racialisation, colonialism or oppression. South Africa’s racial classifications for example emerged from a distinct colonial and apartheid system with its own categories, meanings and consequences. Those histories cannot simply be overwritten by an American understanding of race, simply because Tyla wants to market herself to the BA audience. It doesn’t work like that.
Tyla did not invent South Africa’s racial hierarchy any more than Black Americans invented Jim Crow or the one-drop rule. Both are products of white supremacy, but they developed differently in different places. Expecting her to reject the identity that was historically imposed, negotiated and understood within her own country simply to satisfy an American racial framework is insane.

One thing nobody tells you about adulthood is how fun it is to become your own person. One day you randomly start liking jazz, olive green, expensive dark chocolate, documentaries about volcanoes, weird lamps, sparkling water, books about loneliness in Tokyo, silver jewelry and quiet cafés. Your personality keeps unfolding forever if you let it.
I have so many thoughts on the Michael movie but front of mind is: I had no idea the Pepsi hair-on-fire incident was that bad and that that is why he had to start wearing wigs and how he got addicted to pain meds.
That scene/story has been on my heart for days.
Horrific.
