I had an amazing time with @thecrystallens and her crew of dope black women shooting for "Dear Little Black Girl." Our children need more deeply affirming messages. I can't wait to see the final product!

Consent

If all you have

To do is say

Yes

Then your

Consent

Has been

Continual

It exists in

Every glance

Daily caresses

Your energy vibrations

Are eternally welcoming

We are synchronized

Swimmers

When our oceans merge

Breaking barriers

You dive into me

And my walls

Surround you

We are always

Ready

Never a need

For hesitation

And no time is

Wasted

Eyes steadily signaling

The green light

Your brown is

Hypnotic

Under the

Moon

This exchange

Is typhoon

Nana's Mirror

It is heavy

Tall

Wide

Antique

In its form

In all four

Corners

Exist

Ornate designs

They form

In the middle

On both sides

She had this

In every one

Of her homes

I have ever known

It is the only

Tangible piece

Of her

I have left

Besides

Birthday cards

I received them

Faithfully

Every year

Except in the

Last few

Of her life

She struggled

With memory

I was born

The day

After her

The mirror

Is my most

Prized possession

I don't know its story

How she came to

Own it

I imagine that it

Was passed down to her

Each time

I gaze into it

Home is

Reflected

Lineage

Femininity

It is

Heavy

And

Ornate

Nana was

Sturdy

Tall

Eternally

Classy

In form

It is

Gift

To glace

Her way

Each time

I stare

At me

Channeling peace

Desiring power

To make thoughts

Cease

I come with

Humility

Trusting the path

I walk

Remembering

And

Rejoicing

With endless

Gratitude

Life is now

And I bear

Witness

Get this

A Queen's

Story

No excuses

Only glory

Uncertain Insecure Still owning self love Afraid of my own power Yet ready to embrace it Can't ever fake it Strong and true My team be lovely Endless sky above me Immense depth beneath Planting my feet Steady Heart is light and heavy Many will envy while some relate We all chose our fate Remember the best rule Humility Stay in love Sending you the peace Of three million doves -SublimeLuv

I come in peace; Salaam Many days of faith Brought me to this point today; Imani I bear gifts and fruits from hard labor Underneath a thousand sun rises Black woman claiming her land back They backtrack and preach hate My people asked for this message Rasool is messenger God creates; Amen Allah is one; Amin We are divine, sublime, and supreme Made in the original image I am Queen Women feel this energy Claim your crown back Revel in your flawless beauty Rock those curls-let them be free Kinky, loose or coarse White supremacy has just about run its course On this Earth Time to rise up Dismantle the system It is now, bear witness And join the revolution

[mssublimeluv]

Still. The revolution is now!

I am from

I am from hardwood floors and porches with black teenagers sitting close, discussing life

I am from Nana’s loud laughter, Pa’s strong cologne, Magic 106.7, Kiss 108, and Jamin’ 94.5

I am from the scent of salt water at the Inkwell, tandem bike rides on sandy streets, and heavy backpacks

—–

I am from trips to the corner store for candy

I am from lobster and butter on New Year’s Eve and Nana’s can’t ever resist, baked from scratch, cookies and cakes

I am from my mother’s best in the world buffalo chicken; pizza and chinese food when she was too sick to cook

—–

I am from We were never slaves. Look at that reggin and Bofalicia

I am from You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make ‘em drink

I am from Cleanliness is next to godliness

—–

I am from endless Michael Jackson music videos and Tracy Chapman’s 'Crossroads’ album being on repeat

I am from being black and just finding Nas at 15

I am from still loving rock and alternative

—–

I am from not really knowing my father’s side but that through Islam they are Rasool

I am from Williams and Matthews and black folks from Canada

I am from Native tribes, West Indies, China, and Africa that started it all

—–

I am from Roxbury, a place that is being bulldozed for gentrification

I am from love…crazy, wild love; that is still fighting for freedom
