Check out my beadwork on IG: @stonesongjewelry
All proceeds in this sale will be donated to the org of the purchaser’s choice. Image
I should be more transparent abt this. My mom taught me that all giving should be done in private, so I don’t share.

When you purchase beadwork from me you are giving to Black and Native communities. I give direct cash payments to people in need. Most of the time, anonymously.
Everything else goes to my sisters who are in college. I pay a portion of their tuition and expenses to help my mother. They also live with me in the summers.

I just want you to know that. And thank you for the support!
But for this Birthday sale will make the donation of your choice instead of my own. Just want to share the love!

@JenSloan212 @skwithycombe Yeah this is the part that I had a problem with. The rest seemed like it was more about significant differences in cultural norms and values of Western individualism vs collectivism and how it translates in childrearing.
@JenSloan212 @skwithycombe The author was problematic af. Which is unfortunate bc much of what she observed was accurate from my childhood w Black/Indigenous grandparents as primary caretakers.

This is why it’s important for *us* to write about our cultures *ourselves*. The white supremacist lens distorts
@JenSloan212 @skwithycombe It interesting bc I grew up w the opposite stereotype than is discussed in this thread. Black and Natuvr mothers were considered unable to parent well, more likely to spank or “beat”, have bad tempers, neglectful, etc.

The situation is Texas is absolutely abominable. But I want you to also know that this Native community in Alaska has not had water for 35 days.
It took @GovDunleavy THREE WEEKS to declare a state of emergency. Well, actually the community declared it themselves. But he still has NOT SENT ANY HELP.

He apparently believes that hauling ice from the river, polluted by nearby gold mining btw, and boiling it is 👌🏾

35 days.
Of course when the small town of Haines, AK had heavy rainfall that led to landslides this time last year, the Coast Guard was immediately sent with aide. Haines is 80% white, 10% Native.

The people of Haines have sent supplies to help Tulukvak. @GovDunleavy has not.

The comments on this thread are INFURIATING. It is people (mostly Black Americans) saying that Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal people), Torre Strait Islanders, and Melanesians are not allowed to self-identify as black.

Let me give you a quick lesson on why they can and do.
First Europeans arrived in Australia in 1606, permanent settlement by British started in 1788. They identified indigenous people, whose skin was black, as black people. So in our racial system, they are black. They were called black and refered to themselves as black just like us
Present-day Aboriginal Australians, Torre Strait Islanders and Melanesians come in many different shades, like American black people, bc of same traumas that caused intermixing here. They were subjected to genocide, then slavery, then apartheid/segregation, and now incarceration.

*Yawn* 🥱
Call me when it’s Hatshepsut or Nefertari or Nzinga or a Candace of Meroe or literally any other African Queen.
Hatshepsut - ruled Egypt c. 1479 – 1458 BC. Took the religious ideology back to a female godhead to show the legitimacy of her authority. Eventually declared herself a man and ruled as Pharoah. Most prolific builder of architecture in ancient Egypt. And she had many lovers.
Nefertari, the Great Royal Wife of Rameses II. Unusually educated for a woman of her time, she could read & write in hieroglyphics. Bc of this, she aided the King in diplomacy. He had a temple built in her honor and she has the largest and most elaborate tomb in Valley of Queens.
