URGENT: REPOST of Blog!
Hello, New Subscribers and Readers!
I hope you have enjoyed my postings so far. I've found that it is hard to go back through some of my older posts especially since it's over 90 amazing posts on my site. In an effort to make sure you do not feel like you've missed something great here, I think I should make it a little easier for you to catch-up on some posts that you may not have had the opportunity to read or look into since joining. So below are a list of all my postings related to any and all things Black (since it is February):
{*asterisks next to popular, "must read" posts}

The DIVIDED States We Stand...
~Election Season started and everyone kept saying how we were becoming more divisive by talking about racism and standing against police brutality. I pointed out the obvious... we have been a divided state in this country. This was nothing new!
07.09.16
A Step to Change-- Action Required
~I created a petition to get passed or reviewed by the government about creating a Public Safety/Community Relations community that reviewed police complaints, etc. who were not biased and make sure police were held accountable. It is still available for more signatures!

Drake's "Control Her" Lyrics

Cultural Appropriation vs. Appreciation Political Theory Essay
~This was a final paper I had to submit for my Feminist Political Theory class in undergraduate.

What Qualifies You as Black, Girl?
~Top favorite poem I have ever written. I can't wait to perform this live. I had so many friend/subscribers ask me about this poem in person. I appreciate the love! I had it typed up in my phone for the longest and decided to finally edit it and post it to my blog site. Another message to society and stereotypes of black women.
