☝🏾What @gabunion said! Let's let the fastest American woman compete. We standby Sha'Carri. We salute her for the transparency and accountability. We look forward to seeing her shine her brilliant light on a global stage when her 30-day suspension ends. And so it is. #blackgirlmagic 👊🏾💖💫 #blackgirlsrock #iamhuman #shacarririchardson #olympics #letherrun #stillthatgirl Reposted from @blackgirlsrock https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ2Sl7LjkDwlEkCF4-JS9_pxZHj2j9bio6Duwo0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Interracialmarriage wasn’t legalized until 53 years ago, in 1967! Couples who were married before then were thrown in jail or worse. Prehistoric, ignorant & racist comments like this is why it took so long to legalize it. But people still believe this today smh. We’re not oil and water. We’re not results of a “negative consequence”! We’re not cautionary tales or negative side effects! We are human beings! 🙄👎🏼😾 #mixedgirlproblems #IAmHuman #repost @_nattyp ・・・ I grew up in the #KW region. I’ve always known it’s built on systemic #whiteprivilege (the confederate flag was on the wall in my high-school cafeteria). I’ve seen flat out #racism, I’ve seen illegal searches and I have had friends shot. This evening, I saw this and I am angry. Or should I say, angrier. This garbage is currently being hand delivered to mailboxes in KW region. Tell me there isn’t racism in #Canada. We are living this Every. Single. Day. #blacklivesmatter (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8oheLlBG2/?igshid=1rchmp4uot5fe

I have been absent from this app for a few months but I have not been idle. Mental health has been a difficult struggle through isolation and a lot of that was made worse by the events of the passed couple of months.  In my frustration and heartbroken anger I wrote some words to express how I was (am) feeling. Because I am an artist and while I often hesitate to call myself a “writer” of any kind, sometimes particularly in these moments of complete despair, I just have to write the words down lest they choke me.  I shared these words, this poem Echo with my theatre company, my friends. 

The response was not only supportive and it was as if a spring had been let go and there was a flurry of action. I have never written a song before, I have never attempted to freestyle, these are things that I never really felt were in my wheelhouse.  But here we are, immediately the gears started turning and Matthew and Cameron started pinging musical notes and soundscapes and such back and forth and I marveled at how quickly these skilled musicians composed music inspired by my words.  I am still in awe at this. This was a collaborative process unlike anything I have ever done before and I am so incredibly grateful for these people who are like family to me. 

I am grateful for the support network I have around me. For those who have held me up when I literally could not stand. Those who have encouraged and guided stood along side me every step of the way. This is my debut song in collaboration with Terra Mysterium and Hela’s Hand Productions. This project is so close to my heart. Please watch and listen with an open mind and an open heart. And please be kind, because as a great and wise woman once said “I am an artist, and I am sensitive about my shit!”

Perché sono un essere assai imperfetto e quindi perfettamente umano.. Sono sfumature di un ego a colori che tenta continuamente di uscire fuori nonostante i periodi chiaro scuri.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Because I am a very imperfect and therefore perfectly human being ..

Not feeling too hot right now. Went out with a friend yesterday and stuck to my diet pretty darn well but got home and Taco Bell was in my vicinity 😢. I thought it'd be cool if I ate only one burrito and a Taco Salad. I also thought it'd be okay if I ate one avocado roll at the restaurant earlier that day. I mean for crying out loud during the super bowl I had a few chips and a vegan burrito and I checked my pee with my ketostix the next day and I was still in ketosis and I lost weight. I checked myself with my ketostix just a few minutes ago and I guess last night knocked me out of ketosis 😭. And before today I've been weighing myself all week and I'm not seeing a lot of weight come off which is totally discouraging but the crazy thing is that my pants are even more loose than they were the week before and I know my period is coming so I need to relax. BUT it's a learning process and maybe a year ago this little bump in the road would have knocked me off the wagon completely but I'm 23.5 5lbs down and I refuse to regain that weight and slip back into old destructive habits. I'm stronger than that and I will persevere. All journeys come with highs and lows, you can't learn a lot from riding on cloud 9 all the time. Now I know what my body can and can't do and I'm rolling with it. #backontrack #ketodieting #iwillsurvive #iwilllfinishthis #weightlossjourney #iamhuman

To every person I have ever hurt, forgive me. For every person who has ever hurt me, I forgive you. Without forgiveness we remain tethered to the person who harmed us. We are bound with chains of bitterness, tied together, trapped. Until we can forgive, we remain locked in our pain and locked out of the possibility of experiencing healing and freedom, locked out of the possibility of being at peace. Until we can forgive the person who harmed us, that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person becomes our jailer Nothing is easy for the unwilling ~Book of Forgiveness~ #iamhuman #practicewhatyoupreach #keepitreal #keepitsimple #keepitclean #lifecoach #healthcoach #becauseicare #trilife3

i am a woman. i am no less of a woman because there are days i don’t shave the hair on my underarms or pluck my brows till they go numb. i am no less of a woman because there are days i don’t wear makeup yet you seem concerned with my look & bother me to ask & comment, “are you tired? you look tired.” i am no less of a woman because there are days where i make the effortless effort to look the way i look. to dress the way i dress. to not have or to have the hair naturally grown on my body like every other human on this planet. i am a woman, but i am human, first.
