Chitlins & Champagne

good advertising, feelings, Little Debbie snack cakes, bad breath, infographics, Obama, Obama's swagger, hip hop music, sexy shoes, international travel, beaches, Michael Jackson, my mother, UNC Tarheels, black people, asian people, white people, Nigerians, football, my blackberry, other people's iPhones, New York, Hyde Park. I think you get it...I want to find the end of the internet.

We.Are.Officially.Outchea🙌🏾 The first event for The Finishing School is this Saturday, Oct 22 in Soho from 2-4pm! We are joining forces with @bust_magazine for an exclusive town hall and #feministfightclub book reading from author and amazing #girlboss Jessica Bennett! My biz partner in crime @taffeltherabinowitz and I are so excited to share what we've been cooking. It's wonderful when your passion meets your purpose. Now go to that link in my bio to get tickets...we've got salaries to negotiate and boardrooms to take over. #fuckyoupayme #bbhmm💰 (at Code and Theory)

I got antsy and decided to head to #downtowndurham and found a cultural gem @21chotels blocks away from where my sister is getting married in September. I'm delighted to see the new energy in my hometown. #durhamnc #culturalrebirth (at 21c Museum Hotel Durham Nc)

Like many other POC, I have many friends of all races. And I appreciate the support of my closest and dearest, but I would urge ALL of our white counterparts (friends or not)... to do some of the work first before you want us to have a discussion. I'm not in the mood for comfort from White people, what I want is for you all to get your hands on a Tim Wise book, or The New Jim Crow book by Michelle Alexander or anything by James Baldwin. I need not to be consoled...I just need to know that you all see and recognize the bullshit and will call out those who refuse to see the urgency of our social and cultural affairs. If you really want to be helpful, speak up at work, don't entertain bad jokes (from anyone), remove the subtle language from your vocabulary like "..that's so ghetto ", do not ever ask to touch someone's hair...ever, purchase from Black business owners, when your job is looking for new hires ask if you can throw some good (diverse) names in, be the person in the room who raises the level of conduct and compassion when this subject is brought up. We are too smart and too divinely made for this to continue. I'm doing my work...now I invite you to do yours as well. #blacklivesmatter #staywoke #staypositive #moveinsilence

I don't think ya'll understand how this dude is a BEAST onstage. He sang, danced, and played the drums to absolute perfection last night. My chakras were all open and I'm still buzzed from last night. #AndersonPaak #blackexcellence #sobsnyc #MalibuAlbum @breezylovehat #musicalperfection (at SOB's (Sounds of Brazil))
