If this birthday was any indication, then 29 is shaping itself to be my best year yet. Feeling abundantly blessed and radiating love. Thank you to everyone that made my day oh so very special. #29AndFeelingFine đđ˝đđ˝đđđžâ¨
This time last year, I packed everything I owned into my car and drove across the country, away from the only home I'd ever know to a place I'd never been before. The only thing I kept saying to myself and those around me was, "I'm moving to change my life". 365 tears, laughs, and unemployment spells later, I can definitively say that my mission has been accomplished. This has been one of the most trying times in my life, and I could not be more grateful for the experience. I've learned so much about myself and the world around me and have grown in ways that I wasn't even sure were possible. The journey is far from over, but damn if it isn't off to a fabulous start. #OneYearMileHigh #iLiveInDenver #ButMyHeartIsSo504 #iMadeRedBeansToday đ

Mesmerizing
You ever sat back and realized how much you allowed yourself to suffocate at one point in time because you were too kind?
Motherfucking this
Kayla Renee Parker shared her story of how she managed to expose her racist teacher who appeared to be a wolf in sheepâs clothing.
âShe wears a safety pin so everyone knows sheâs an ally for minorities. Her cover photo has a Black power fist. She regularly discusses her love for the Obamas, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and her admonishment for this current administration.â
However, it wasnât enough to hide her racism.Â
It all started with a simple question from a test. The question stated,Â
âHistorical research on African-American families during slavery shows that: A) Family ties werenât important in African cultures where the slaves ancestors originated; consequently, family bonds were never strong among slaves. B) Two-parent families were extremely rare during the slave period. C) Black family bonds were destroyed by the abuses of slave owners, who regularly sold off family members to other slave owners. D) Most slave families were headed by two parents.
So, obviously, Kayla chose C. And it was incorrect. According to the teacher, the right answer was D.
The argument started when Kayla wrote her an email and respectfully provided the professor the evidence, even directly from their textbook. âHowever, my Professor continued to argue that family bonds were not destroyed and that 2/3 of slave families were headed by two parents.â The teacher cited Herbert Gutman, sociologist, who died in 1985 and surely took part in the whitewashing of Black history.
When they met to discuss the subject in person the professor gave Kayla books to read adding such statements as, âThis book would be good for you to read. I believe itâs $6 so I could buy it for you if youâd like.â The stated that she spent her whole life fighting for minorities and something like âIâve got Black friends.âÂ
When the girl was proving her opinion, she heard more comments as, âYouâre talking to someone who has spent their entire life fighting for people of diversity and marched with my Black brothers and sisters.â
As the result, the teacher asked Kayla to lecture the class on the topic and that was her fatal mistake.
Kayla took all her courage and made a presentation on the topic she was passionate about. She defended Black people and Black history. Hereâs her presentation.
That was the point where the story should end, but NO.
The professor obviously forgot about privacy settings on Facebook and posted offensive comments about Kayla.
The professorâs last words to Kayla were:
This time The University of Tennessee stood up for the student. In July the teacher officially retiring from the university.
This is fucking insane.
The last paragraph of kayaâs story is everything:
To my Professor, I forgive you for robbing me of my focus last semester. I forgive you for calling my Father, a graduate of Yale Medical School, âeducationally challenged.â I even forgive you for threatening me. However, I do not forgive you for being willfully ignorant to the subjects you teach students. I also do not forgive you for claiming to be an ally. An ally is so much more than wearing a safety pin. It also requires that you listen to the needs of Black people and respect the issues that we raise. When a Black student raises a concern over the way you are portraying her history, referring to all youâve done for Black people doesnât change the fact that youâre portraying slavery as some kind of slavery lite. As an educator and as an ally, you are not expected to know everything but this does not abdicate you from the responsibility of always continuing to learn- even from your students. Additionally, if you wanted to actually help Black men and women, youâd value our words. Unfortunately, your actions simply mirror how America values Black people in todayâs society.
This Black girl is a hero who overcame her fear and faced her teacher defending Black people and Black history.Â

why i will never allow whites to educate my children. they present themselves as allies and impartial educators while actively working towards impeding Black students from reaching any type of goal. WHITENESS IS A DISEASE.
