2019 is lookin a lot like how 2018 would have looked had procrastination, self-doubt and outright laziness not interfered.
Power, progression and all potential tapped into and realized, all this year and beyond ✊
“How many scientific studies have been done on the power of an embrace?
The heat
The electricity conducted
Surging from you to him, to you
The jolt followed by the calm
Now, exhale”

“ It seems like it should be so simple.
That I could respond to common questions,
Often meant to fill empty spaces and bring people together.
But our tragic flaw often comes as a result of us looking at the world how we would like it to seem, not for what it truly is.
So despite it seeming simple, it was the opposite.
While your curiosity hovered above my being, I for one could not take my my mind off of the tightness in my chest.
The clamminess of my hands.
The pounding of my heart against my chest.
And with the slight tilt of your head,
A soft brown gaze boring heavily into my own eyes…
I couldn’t help but wonder,
“Can you see everything I’m trying to hide?”
And sure enough,
If that dreamy stare and those curling lips were any indication…
So simply you could and in truth you already had.“ - Jade Annae Peters

“He was cool
Super-cool
Ultrablack
A tan/purple
Had a beautiful shade
He had a double natural
that would put the sisters to shame
His dashikis were tailor made & his beads were imported sea shells
He was triple-hip
His tikis were hand-carved
Out of ivory
And came express from the motherland
He would greet you in Swahili and say goodbye in Yoruba
Mannnn he was so cool & intelligent
Cool-Cool, ultra cool, icebox cool, so cool his wine didn’t have to be cooled
He was air condition cool
Cool-Cool was so cool he made me cool
Cool-Cool so cool we nicknamed him refrigerator
Cool-Cool so cool he didn’t know
After Detroit, Newark, Oakland, and Chicago
We had to remind Cool-cool
that
to be black
is to be
very hot”
-Don L. Lee, 1969

“Attitudes necessary for survival were vigorously pounded into the wooly heads of black boys and girls by their loving mothers. The boys were reared to be Negroes, not men. A negro might survive a while, but a black “man” didn’t live very long…. a black boy aiming to reach “manhood” rather than “Negro-hood” rarely lived that long”
- Jamil Al-Amin

Ode to my Mother
I wish
I knew words like this
Back when life was more pain
Back to five
in the yard
While she cooked water and pig
With the salt of her tears

What’s that? I thought I heard “Supergirl” is coming to Blu- Ray for the first time ever on 24th of July I MUST HAVE A COPY! It doesn’t look like it’s going to include more deleted scenes unfortunately -there are so many that I know about that we have not seen. For now - here is another Movie Still tribute ❤️

It is a misconception that heroes are superpowered aliens or mutants here to save humanity the world. Or that because we possess such qualities that we are assigned the role. This is a result of learned helplessness. Our presence doesn’t make you helpless or any less responsible for the world. We are not here to save you. We lead by example so you can find the hero within and save yourselves for a better world. We are a friend. Stand with us in fighting the injustices. Not behind.
