My loves.
I have been in deep isolation, meditation and contemplation. Trying to process how to express so many things at once while staying safe and grounded in my body. I re-emerge briefly, still on fire with rage, and dripping in my pleasure, And crying in my grief, and looking at my mistakes....The ways I fuck up all the time. But I do re-emerge... with shirts π€
The amount of excuses Iβve heard from lovers, so-called community leaders, and really the collective around why they arenβt prioritizing the safety of bodies of color make me feel sick to my stomach.
I am uninterested in hearing any more. And I am demanding that you do better.
I added purslane, one of my favorite plant friends, that you see everywhere in our city. (I have it even tattooed on my thigh π)

I love how it creeps up in between the cracks and thrives during hard times. I think of it as the mother. As I struggle every day, needing more support, to show up better for the future that I birthed. Yet... Iβm here still until Iβm not π€
