This guy gets it re the double standard to which Black women running for office are held.

Speak that truth.

White liberals don’t even fight their white opponents on the other side of the aisle as hard as they fight and critique Black female liberals and other female liberals of color

Juneteenth Becomes a National Holiday.

Older Black Americans:

Black Progressives:

We would much rather have the Voting Rights Bill and The George Floyd Bill passed into law. Not white ppl getting the day off on our freedom day while majority Black Americans still have to work.

Bc what good is a holiday when schools don’t/can’t even teach about its importance.

Happy Black Herstory Month Beloveds! 🎊  ✊🏿 🎊

I hope we are loving, healing and being in solidarity with Black progressives in our lives. 🌺

In the spirit of BHM and Palindrome Day (02-02-2020), I'm excited to announce the release of my book “D1 L1F3 0F 1 B153XU4L BL4CK (B1BL) B10L0G15T.” 

This is a book about Iboro Itoro. Iboro Itoro is an undocumented, bisexual, Black woman who is determined to survive in a society that constantly dehumanizes people like her. Although her determination does not shield her from the difficulties that come with being undocumented, bisexual, or Black, it gives her the courage to leave San Isabella in search of something better when there's nothing left for her there. This is a story about heartbreak and hope.

I will like to thank the undocumented Black writers at the first Undocumented Black Convening, my Black womanist/feminist friends, and the many progressive Black/Brown/Asian QTs in Detroit who believed in me and supported me throughout this journey. I am because we are.

I will also like to thank everyone reading this who will support my writing either through a purchase (http://themarket.storenvy.com/), or inviting me to speak at your school, panel, conference, or organization. I appreciate every one of you. Also, if you are unable to purchase thee book because of financial difficulties, send me a message and I will send you a free copy.

Lastly, (because of the encouragements of a beloved friend who believes in me) I will be hosting a book release party at my home on 02-22-2020. If you'd like to turn up with me, talk about the intersections of Blackness, Queerness, Woman-ness, and Migration, and rage against racism, patriarchy, queerphobia, and xenophobia, send me a message and I'll share the details of the book release party with you.

Although I'm hosting a party and this post is celebratory, I'm truly terrified about the future, but I'm fighting to keep my hope alive and remain somewhat optimistic. So, let's be terrified and somewhat optimistic together.

Sending y'all major love and warmth as we grieve, grow, hurt, and heal. We deserve the very best. We deserve to survive and thrive. 💕

With love,

Adilah Didi Adi (Dee WoministGRRRL)

Obama’s Nobelian Demeanor

Does anyone remember President Obama’s chimerical economic indicator of “jobs saved”? You don’t hear very much about it now. At the time, it was used as an empirical measure of job growth during his Presidency. I only mention it here, since over the past several months the former President has inserted himself into the conversation surrounding the Trump economy, as somehow being a continuation of…
