Aya Jones for Mango FW17

#Slick Woods #fashion week #nyfw

“I don’t know why people were surprised at the success of ‘Wonder Woman,’” Grier told the AP.

When asked about the new influx of female action stars in the movie world, including Gal Gadot’s “Wonder Woman,” Charlize Theron in “Atomic Blonde,” and Taraji P. Henson in the upcoming “Proud Mary,” Grier said that she applauds all of them, because they are continuing the legacy she began in her blaxpoitation days.

“I want them to succeed,” she said. “I started it. I don’t want them to fail.”

Next year, Megan Good will star in a Hulu series remake of “Foxy Brown,” Grier’s most iconic role.

“It’s going to be interesting,” Grier said of the project.

“You see, I didn’t have a stuntwoman until ‘Foxy Brown.’ And Meagan, she’s going to do great with stunts,” she added. “She’ll get the sports bra I didn’t have. And you ask me would I do it again? Yeah, if I had a great sports bra.”

I was born the tenth of twelve children … /I visited a psychiatric hospital ’cause Roach said there was madness in the house. He said it wasn’t him, so I Wgured it must be me/They had me hollering and screaming like a crazy person; I ain’t hollering and screaming for my freedom. The women I come from will take something and knock you … /Monk whispered in my ear, “Don’t be so perfect.” He meant make a mistake; reach for something/I didn’t think a scream was part of the music/We were riding in the car with my nephew who was eight years old and who said, “The reason I can scream louder than Aunt Abbey is ’cause I’m a little boy/Went all over the world hollering and screaming; it increased my depth as an actress and a singer/I didn’t write it, I didn’t conceive it; I’m just the singer on it/I got rid of a taboo and screamed in everybody’s face/We had to go to court; somebody thought Roach was killing me in the studio/My instrument is deepening and widening; it’s because I’m possessed of the spirit /I learned it from my mother—the preacher, that’s what they called her/Betty Carter: we came to the stage about the same time; it was a great surprise when she died; she was a year older than me and I’ve been feeling frail ever since … It’s easy for me to cry; I’m an actress/You gotta sing a song; you can’t sing jazz/When Bird was around he knew he wasn’t playing jazz. He was playing his spirit. And I think that’s the problem for a lot of the musicians on the scene now. They think that they’re playing jazz. But there’s no such thing, really/I’m possessed of my own spirit/This is the music of the African muse/I just want to be of use to my ancestors/It’s holy work and it’s dangerous not to know that ’cause you could die like an animal down here

Thanks so much for the concern! I've been lucky thus far. Still sitting waiting for the water to go down. 🌧

No offense but literally nothing and no one is and will ever be out of your league. Nothing is too good for you. Nobody has the right to make you feel like you are not enough or less than you are, you deserve the world.

Having no sources of intimacy in your daily life and therefore resorting to learning as much as you can as a way to pass the time is such a sad cycle, every single day its like what can I become obsessively interested in this time to vaguely simulate companionship and a temporary sense of purpose that I know will eventually make me feel even more alone because even if I find meaning and enjoyment it is completely irrelevant to and isolated from everyone and everything else
