Tweet: “This habit of defending black men through everything because ‘if the white man did it, it would be a slap on the wrist.’ Is tired, it’s old and frankly, I don’t want to live in a world where the men I’m around the most aren’t held accountable.

“For you to be ok with black men raping, abusing, and killing women because white men do it too, it just REALLY makes me itch.

“And it’s never on some, we gonna handle them type shit. Y'all literally want to allow these people to be free so they can violate others with impunity.”

White people are not to be imitated.

Self-Portraits as Self-Care.  Images by Alaina Hunt.

In January of 2017 I began to check in with myself once a week.  I would ask myself questions:  "Who am I right now in this moment?”  "How do I wish the world saw me in my Blackness?”  I sought out to express the vulnerabilities I had been suppressing to protect myself through the Black female gaze.

you can do this. stop sabotaging yourself and your dreams. there will be risks, there will be stress, but go on and actually pursue what you want to do. you will not regret having tried, all things considered. self-doubt can destroy so much of your life. don’t let it, please.

“Writing begins with forgiveness. Let go of the shame about how long it’s been since you last wrote, the clenching fear that you’re not a good enough writer, the doubts over whether or not you can get it done”
