Dear sisters,

be whatever the fuck you want. today and forever.

be as carefree as you want

be as sexy with that booty as you want

be as incendiary as you want

be as much like a princess as you want

be as revolutionary as you want

be as natural as you want

be as fearless as you want

be as unapologetically excellent as you want

be as angry as you want

be as loved as you want

Happy international women’s day to all the black women out there struggling, mothering, loving, breathing, praying, dancing, resisting, laughing and BEING.

You are loved, you are worthy, you are magic.

“I’m grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. A confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man. I’m proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me. I wasn’t raised to fear people with a difference of opinion. They are merely victims of a disease in their mind. To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re stupid, and I’m not going to lose sleep over people. The presale tickets have gone through the roof — their agenda has failed. Miserably.”

A Tribe Called Quest “Can I Kick It” Live on Jimmy Fallon 11.13.15

So all four members of Tribe came together backed by the legendary Roots crew to perform for the first time in over 15 years on national television, “Can I Kick It?” from their debut album People’s Instinctive Travels.  This is a hip hoppers dream right here, and they sound great, too!

This was a hip hop group I didn’t so much understand growing up, but as I got older I grew to enjoy their style of alternative hip hop way more than the East Coast hardcore rap/gangsta rap I grew up on.
