A space where Black women are already enough.

By the time I had my lightbulb moment, I was already hooked and had to go back to the beginning. Starting the … Continue reading The Black Girls Must Series by Jayne Allen | Series Review
I started this book over two years ago and DNF. Not because it wasn't good — life just made it hard for me to sit with written text. I was somewhere around chapter 6 when I put it down.

“Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence.” – Toni Morrison I keep saying I’m going to leave this alone, but alas, here I am. What exactly are we “educating ourselves” on when it comes to Charlie Kirk? What’s supposedly being taken out of context? Sure, context always matters — but when the … Continue reading Baby, Call a Thing a Thing: Charlie Kirk in Context

Then 2025 came, I finally watched the series, and then I had to read the book. Now I'm mad.
