I love my brothers and sisters from other countries. I love family feel that we have. I am proud to be English. And I am English not British. I was born in Marston Green hospital, brought up in Sheldon. A Brummie who now lives in Walsall. A Brummie Black Country lad. Proud of my country. Proud of my flag. #notaracist #englishandproud #landofhopeandglorymotherofthefree #stgeorgesday (at Birmingham, United Kingdom)

My black friend Audrey hired extra security for her estate since Trump took office, but after the events in Charlottesville she has restricted the number of white people that can visit. Audrey believes America should officially adopt Amazon’s motto when it comes to the nation’s past and present regarding systemic, institutional, state, and aversive racism: Everyday is Day One. . I was so happy to have made the cut! but I knew I was in: I may be classist – elitist, definitely – but never racist. I mean, how can I possibly be racist when my best friend is Audrey? Racism is like inserting a porous stone into your good china. Gorl, why? It’s—well, it’s just not done. But I suppose neither is publicly throwing your support behind Trump and being quoted as saying, “It’s such an exciting time to be an American because we are at this amazing inflection point and everything is kind of up in the air.” . Annnnnyway, Audrey is redesigning her dining room to ensure white visitors maintain a specified distance from her seat at the table. Her ability to curate interior design is simply erudite! With all that gorgeous light behind her she’ll practically beam light as you use your escargot fork during hors d’oeuvres. Audrey calls me nature’s light reflector, and having me face the light at the other end of the table ensures I can be seen at all times. . #myblackfriend #audrey #notaracist #definitelyelitist #systemicracism #institutionalracism #stateracism #aversiveracism #everydayisdayone #madethecut #sorrygwynnie #shouldnthavethrownyoursupportbehindtrump #haveaseatathetable #goshitsbright #allthathalo #whitepeople #natureslightreflector #escargotfork #gorl

Moscato d’Asti and Crème de Violette. I was inspired after Tiara watched an episode of “Bob’s Burgers” where the parents were drinking jellybean Schnapps. (Not worry! I threatened to fire Tiara for watching television programs on the estate because I feel like electronic devices near my children will result in autism.) My black friend Audrey called it purple something and then something something bougie. I just want what’s best for my children and enjoy a refreshing beverage. Can’t a gorl have it all? . #purpledrink #crèmedeviolette #moscatodasti #summercocktails #tiara #media #thechildren #austism #myblackfriend #audrey #notaracist #bougie #gorl #havingitall

I don’t like to call myself a feminist because Thomasson doesn’t find the word attractive, and I have my family to think of. I think Gwynnie said it best: “Gloria Steinem may string me up by my toes, but all I can do is my best, and I can do only what works for me and my family.” I do think it’s important to consciously couple my beliefs with really important women from history. Girl Power! My black friend Avery is proud to call herself a feminist, and she often uses the term intersectionality when discussing feminist topics. A lot of the times Avery is quoting people I’ve never heard of and wants to get into really deep discussions about gender and identity. I love Avery’s enthusiasm but sometimes I wish she would just collaborate with me on a Pinterest board. Avery keeps a series of Polaroids by Andy Warhol in her study, they are portraits of Marsha P. Johnson. Marsha was a gay transvestite in New York City—thank goodness for my gay best friend Alain to explain the difference between a transvestite and transgender. Marsha was one of the first – Alain said it’s okay for me to use the term – drag queens to fight back against the police at Stonewall in New York. This information surprised Alain because the recent movie about Stonewall showed a really cute young white guy as the catalyst for the riots. Avery takes a deep sigh. I wasn’t entirely sure why Avery wanted to honor a drag queen for Black History Month, but then she invoked the word intersectionality again. And then something about gender identity, LGBTQI, and women of color. Feminism is so much work. Avery takes another deep sigh. Am I talking aloud again? Alain and Avery both nod their heads. Sigh. #BlackHistoryMonth #myblackfriend #Avery #mygaybestfriend #Alain #notaracist #notahomophobe #notafeminist #justlikeGwynnie #ohGwynnie #gorl #gorlpower #intersectionality #queerhistory #whitewashing #stonewashing #sighing #lesigh

My in-house life coach Huntington sent Tiara a text to ask me if I licensed the family name to American retailer Hart Schaffner Marx. I told Tiara to text Hunty that while I appreciate the preppy, classic style of the company, my family made its money in precious minerals so, it must be one of the German Schaffners. Germans just love to license their names on everything. My black friend Avery told me that behind the Hart Schaffner Marx brand is the black fashion designer Jeffrey Banks. “Jeffrey launched his collection in 1977 and redefined menswear with his tailored clothing and sportswear. He became Design Director of Merona Sport in the 1980s and introduced color and fabric combinations that were entirely new and revolutionary to menswear.” According to André Leon-Talley in “Ebony,” by 1980 Banks was creating furs for males “so smart and tailored that some women want to wear them.” Something about the words fur and coat always trigger a buying impulse, but then I remembered PETA excoriated Gwynnie in 2008 for wearing a fur shawl. Oh, Gwynnie. I asked Avery if there were other fashion designers that are black. “Of course there are, my dear, you simply need to Google them.” Avery is a big believer in DIY, her independent nature is so inspiring. I tell Tiara to text Huntington that I want to be as inspiring as Avery. “He replied, ‘Oh, gorl.’ I think that means a Yes?” #lifecoach #huntington #lifeassistant #tiara #myblackfriend #Avery #notaracist #BlackHistoryMonth #JeffreyBanks #fashiondesigner #menswear #fur #fauxpas #ohgwynnie #germans #licensing #everything #DIY #Googleis100percentfree

I was going to post my Top 10 Tips for overcoming jet-lag (spoiler alert: positivity!) but my black friend Avery reminded me we’re celebrating Black History Month. Now that I am back from Seoul she would like to resume the campaign. I wasn’t expecting we would celebrate Black History Month all month long, but Avery says I need Jesus. I love that Avery is looking out for my metaphysical wellbeing! Today we are honoring Marian Anderson, an American contralto who rose to stardom despite segregation laws in the U.S. I asked Avery if we should mention specific time periods but she said America has never been a truly free country. I love how she talks in metaphors sometimes. Marian applied to the Philadelphia Music Academy after high school but was turned away because she was black. She pursued private studies with Giuseppe Boghetti after auditioning for him, singing “Deep River” – this is where Avery looks over at my gay best friend Alain with a simple “Don’t” – and immediately bringing him to tears. (Giuseppe, not Alain. Although Alain can cry at the drop of a hat, especially if he even looks at a carb.) Marian sang at Carnegie Hall in 1928 and traveled to Europe for her musical career since racial prejudice prevented her momentum in the United States. In 1939 Marian performed an open-air concert at the Lincoln Memorial, due to President Roosevelt and Walter White (“No,” Avery said) persuading Secretary of the Interior to arrange the event. Marian’s rendition of “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” attracted 75,000 people and became a radio sensation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAONYTMf2pk I wish the Inauguration had those numbers, I really put out all the stops on that Pugh number. #myblackfriend #Avery #notaracist #BlackHistoryMonth #MarianAnderson #contralto #AveMaria #geniusdrawsnocolorlines
