Through my life, I've had people try to concern troll me to suggest (and/or threaten) that if I didn't assimilate with or validate whomever that it would cause me to be unworthy of and/or incapable...

The time in between mainstream gigs could definitely give them time to reflect on what it could mean to be a blacked <insert the otherwise primary label>. That happens nearly without fail for...

I was just speaking with a blacked sister about this topic and she bobbled into "And, now, these booty shaking dancers...Now, they think we're all...". There was never a time in which progress was...

Blacked women want to be accepted by people they regard as normal and/or acceptable. The people and culture of norm is White culture. In White Culture, status is defined by lineage and lineage is...

The live broadcast is a companion and/or outgrowth from Barbara Perkins' work. This is a new live video podcast series from RMC.

Cheers.

When ignorance is privileged, rather than an equitable exchange, there's a sense of entitlement to have one's curiosity indulged. The dehumanization of others (blacked persons, muslims,...

If I still had my hair grown out, I think I'd be okay with participating in an exhibit like that for other blacked people. I wouldn't be okay with being a captive instrument for whites and...

Seems akin to superstition and hypochondria whereas something is wrong or missing if someone doesn't have that particular label to put upon themselves. A feeling of loss or lacking to not "know"...

*waves hand irreverently* You can cut all those mother follicles. I don't have one follicle friend.

Diluting as much as viable, no matter the concoction, is probably ideal. The baking soda and vinegar shampoo can be overdone, for instance, based on frequency and concentration of usage. Everything,...

I'd like to get some perspective on what sort of homemade mixtures are viable. Are oils like coconut, jojoba, and castor available or are you only able to access condiments and produce?

Shampoo:...

I'm pleasantly surprised to still have a ponytail after taking my locs down. Might not still have one if I get my chunky shaped up a bit.

I like that they showed the kids the harlem shake and had them think about appropriation in a seemingly age appropriate manner. I've seen other Kids React videos but don't recall if there was a rap...

I'm fine to delve with people who are unwittingly snared in some of those hangups. I've experienced having communicated nuances and those being mutually acknowledged and expounded on intelligently.

Outstanding piece.

Some shed hairs can (and, often enough to have noticed, will) accumulate into clumps outside of the lock. Those "balls" may begin to dangle from neighboring follicles as they get snatched, groomed,...

I feel drowsy and underwhelmed, as I check-in. It's like being directed to a church, for an otherwise compelling sounding community meeting, while trying to avoid being subjected to folksy and...

Stifling freedoms of expression while denying brothers relevant socialization, access and education devalues any such compliments. An anti-intellectual culture of the sort disarms brothers of their...

When any of my colleagues in the UK talk while laughing, I'm so overwhelmed trying to understand what they're saying that I'm not able to enjoy the humor.

While I was working at a Bloomberg site, I was confronted by White management for repeatedly wearing my hair to work in a ponytail rather than "styled". There were White women and Hispanic men...

I'm freeforming the start of my locs and it feels surprising evened out in the back. The front and top are not seeming as eager to lock but I've gotten used to not fingercombing.

I also found the prevalent posturing about Whitaker's social rank and accomplishments to substitute for valid considerations and also seek to campaign against actions which may have context ignored...

Intriguing questions, Sis. I was initially taken aback by the coincidence of your post as I'd put in about five hours today researching trans minors, their parents, siblings, and communities (prior...

Welcome, Sis. :D
