Intimacy giving out shots at Sex Geek Summer Camp

Intimacy:  I feel like there needs to be, and that I'm working with my everything from the very depths of my spirit, my mind, everything is bridging the gap between the different communities: the poor poly and the rich poly, the white poly, the black poly, the in-between polys, the Mexican polys, the not-poor-but-not-rich polys, there's all these different– it's not just about ethnicity and cultural and finances and how much money you do have and you don't have. 

There are so many other aspects of these separate groups of poly. There's these young millennials, and there's the elders who've been doing this forever but there wasn't the wording for it but it was super hush-hush and now they're old enough that 1) that they just don't give a shit about keeping it a secret anymore or 2) they're old enough that they're like “Ok these younger ones are accepting of it where are the rest of the elders, our age, who are accepting of it, let's really get out there and do this as a community now.” Because we see the younger generations doing this and we want to be a part of it. So for me it's about bridging the gap for everyone. 

For so long I felt like I was an alien. “What's wrong with me? Why can't I be monogamous like everyone else?” Because I wasn't made to be monogamous. I've never understood monogamy. It still doesn't make sense to me. It's just not my thing. I get it for other people. I understand it. I can counsel someone on their monogamy. It's just not what I want to do. I've done it, faithfully, without cheating, I just felt like a dimmed down version of myself. So finding the word polyamory and all this other wording around it, to make people understand I'm not a pimp, I'm not a player, I'm not a cheater which is what I was being called before I had this wording to explain it. It's just I've noticed now I'm not an alien because there's thousands of us all over the world. It's just bridging the gap from all the different reasons that people let it be a separation because it's about what you let separate you from others.

I’m usually pretty secure… Being mixed put me in a category of my own, but now I feel like I’m not as excepted the older I get by other black females. My lashes aren’t heavy or long, my bottom lip is the fullest one, and my butts wide but not extremely curved.. Guys can like whatever but I wish I had stronger features to my face.

Shoutout to all the Mixed Kids

Shoutout to all the kids out there who get a serious rush of anxiety at the "ethnicity" portion of questionnaires and tests. Shoutout to all the mixed kids who don't know how to explain their heritage Shoutout to the kids who have one or more parent who's mixed too Shoutout to the kids who get shoved in the corner because they're not "___ enough" to be considered with any ethnicity Shoutout to the kids who don't know what kind of background they come from because of historic conflicts Shoutout to all the mixed kids who get asked "so what are you?" Or told "you can't be both!" Shoutout to the kids who try constantly struggle to find some sort of identity for themselves Shoutout to the mixed kids who get categorized in the wrong ethnicity they kinda just "look like" Y'all are wonderful and perfect just the way you are. Your ethnic background is not a flaw and your diversity is not impossible. I love you guys ♡

So a photographer on model mayhem said my look is very Russian/Ukrainian.

(?????)

To this Yurok/Sioux pale person that’s partially Dutch and other stuff, except for Russian or Ukrainian.
