Don't Snoop

The following is a memory that was triggered when I made a sandwich to take to work with me.  * “Don’t snoop,” Grandmomma always said when I was being nosey or poking around in places I had no business poking around in. “Don’t snoop.” My grandparents lived in an old two-story house in what some call the mill hill and others call the mill village. I called it home. I spent a large chunk of my…

Someone's Sad On This Day--A Short Story

Someone’s Sad On This Day–A Short Story

The first thing I saw out the window this morning was the gravedigger hard at work. I guess that’s not the best thing to see when one wakes. It was still dark in my room and a chill hung in the air. The furnace had not switched on in the night. I stood, grabbed my robe from the bedpost and wrapped it around me. It didn’t do much to warm my body—it had belonged to my grandmomma before it became…

6, 10, 35, 48 please and thank you <3

6) describe your personality in 3 words or less: weird, enthusiastic, warm

10) how would you describe your style?bright & colorful. queer hard candy femme. tight and bold. 

35) who is your celebrity crush?martin freeman is a long term celeb crush. sometimes i’m angry that i’m still into him, because obviously he’s said and done some things that are pretty problematic. but at the end of the day i love his snark and his eyes and his laugh and his nose and his hands and his style and UGH. him. i have a lot more lady crushes, but i don’t feel the same level of obsession with them. some big ones: kate mckinnon, sigourney weaver, helen mirren, cate blanchett, amy poehler, bebe rexha, nicki minaj...i could probably keep going but that’s a lot. 

48) who is your role model? umm that’s tough. i have a couple of mentors and a few people i find inspiring, but not a single person who i’d call a role model. the closest thing might be my grandmother? she was tough and smart and creative, an amazing cook and a hard worker who went through a lot in life but always managed to keep loving. she was also an alcoholic who sometimes got mean and who sacrificed a lot of what she wanted for the good of other people. so i can’t say i wanna be just like her. 

thanks for these!! so many good ones <3

Happy Birthday Grandmomma

I know that I have the life that you weren’t allowed to have because

you were

Black

and Woman

and darkskinned in a culture premised on hating

all three of those categories.

Yet you were fearless, scared of no one from the police to my grand father.

And you paid for that.

I write this so that you know that I see you

and I feel you

every single day.

You, more so than anyone else taught me about

Power.

Love,

~Renina
