People of color, women, and gays — who now have greater access to the centers of influence that ever before — are under pressure to be well-behaved when talking about their struggles. There is an expectation that we can talk about sins but no one must be identified as a sinner: newspapers love to describe words or deeds as “racially charged” even in those cases when it would be more honest to say “racist”; we agree that there is rampant misogyny, but misogynists are nowhere to be found; homophobia is a problem but no one is homophobic. One cumulative effect of this policed language is that when someone dares to point out something as obvious as white privilege, it is seen as unduly provocative. Marginalized voices in America have fewer and fewer avenues to speak plainly about what they suffer; the effect of this enforced civility is that those voices are falsified or blocked entirely from the discourse.

This event is designed to help Syracuse Women Build: a grouo of women who build houses for in-need populations. They learn the trade together and are #mind and #body strong! #gentlemen get your bodies babe-ready and walk the runway and flash that smile for #charity in #Syracuse. This event is fun and needed.

This is in the #aboutme section of one of my #womanInspirations @sdawkins88. She is a fellow #marketing #soulmate and just an all around amazing person to know. I know many of us have #MCMs and #WCWs but those are for people of whom I didnt have the pleasure (yet) of having a relationship. I've grown from watching and studying with Sam. She was a model human than and is still a model human now. Shout outs to my #MMM (#motivateMeMondays -yeah I know I'm cheesy 😝😌) for radiating class and beauty and brains. She grinds in high heels. #boss #leaningIn #womenWhoLead #brenau #women #southernCharm

Girls wanted #drake and #sensitive #good because it wasn't aggresive... and then we met #jidenna. "You can be mean when you look this clean -I'm a Classic Man." #sigh, our grandmothers had it so well. And why did he put #kendricklamar on the remix! "I know what I like, I eat the ... for my nourishment I know how to cherish it I know how to decorate your wall and further furnish it I'm a turn it around wit' some friendly services... And that's affirmative" 😐😮 oh my ... #welp #classicman #lightskin #brothas #blackmen #blackrelationships #music #hiphop #janellemonae @fontstudio_rc #fontstudio

#RG: "You fall in lust. You choose to love." That was the caption thatbread under this gram. Dope. I winder how many people I know don't realize that they were never #chosen.

I was made into a princess the day he took my hand Braided my curls and gave them order Lent me his shoulders to see the world And held me with the safest touch Guarded me with a Lions heart Launched me into the sky with fear and cheerfully saved me from the ground, reminding me that the two often work in company so he planted a fearless seed in tearful memories He's strong, even when when he's wrong And right because he fights to make me smarter, teaches me to wield my own heart and walks in the shadows of everyman who looks or lurks too long He gave my mother those same smiles and taugh me hope. Hero to my brother and I, he taught me humility. He's amazing and I celebrate him twice: once for giving me hope and another for giving me life. Happy #Haitian #Fathers #Day to my pappi and all the rest. ❤ My Dad >Your Dad lol @fontstudio_rc #fontstudio #dadsanddaughters #men #love #leaders #haiti #ayiti

Stop believing in heroes with capes and perfect hair Stop believing in dreams because everything is your reality Waiting for someone to scoop you up Ain’t gonna work here *Being here is not enough* You have to work for what you want because whatever someone gives you will not be enough It will not be enough It will not be enough

Remember that street that you won’t walk through by yourself because…

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing young girls lineup to get an autograph or picture with an astronaut. #brains + #beauty does win. And I love that she's a #fitchick and #natural 👐 #dopesistahcollective

So I spent my Friday afternoon with these cool ladies at the #SisterEmpoweringSisters mentoring and enlightenment conference. They stepped into some pretty important lives this weekend. #coolkids Woman Astronaut #jeanetteEpps Actresses @kendracjohnson and #AnnaMarieHornsford

For those who do not understand the value of self. The struggle of identity and what it means to be not only black but treated like an alian by other alian. Pride is such a sensitive creature. This play was beautiful 💖 (at Syracuse Stage)
