Welp, first kid is back to school this week. My oldest starts back next week. She’s 8th grade & had planned to stay home (even w/ her brother going back) but she would’ve had new teachers. So she’s back next week. We gone see how this goes!
My 8th grader was absolutely fine w/ not stepping foot in her middle school ever again lol. But she loves her teachers & wants to keep them. Wild that she’s never met them in person. What a year 2020 was & thank GOD we have new leardership. We’ll see what this 8th grade...
...graduation will be lookin like. Tyger’s 10th bday is Friday so he’s happy he’ll be back in school for it. No cake/cupcakes tho (obvs). Still, he’ll be around other 4th graders which I know he misses😩
Also, s/o to the brand new shoes/clothes I got back in Aug 2020 for the ✌🏾New school year✌🏾. He can’t fit nothin & feet done grew a whole size & a half smh. On the bright side, me & him now wear the same size. My kids wearin the same size shoe as me & being the same height as...
...me always sneaks up on me. I’m only 5’5 so it doesn’t take much. Still, that means they aren’t babies anymore. Cuz then they get taller then me & hit puberty I gotta remind everybody it’s not their daddy they need to be scared of. Other than that tho it’s all 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Also, I cannot believe I will have a highschooler soon. Like, wow. Neither me or my husband went to regular highschool, so we’re super excited. Last ‘school school’ I went to was 10th grade. The first part of the year was hard. I’d show up Monday & have to re-introduce...
...myself to teachers/students cuz I’d be gone again Tues-Friday. Cuz I was working🤷🏽‍♀️. Tho when our P’Hood season was over, I did get to go everyday. Went to Jr. Prom & that was fun. Had a tutor full time after tho. I loved school so I’m excited for her. Maybe too excited 😂

If you’re worried about the kids, they do not care. They are not dumb & know what entertainment is. Now...the adults??? That’s a whole nother story. But that fear adults have has nothing to do w/ kids & kids aren’t letting adults put their own fear, onto THEM anymore.
It’s very similar 2 adults putting their weird views around sex, onto kids. Like, ‘just don’t let them see/hear/learn or talk about sex & that’ll keep them from having sex’. Will it?? Or will they pick up the fear in your own voice/actions & know not to come 2 you about anything?
I’m sure my parents were not thrilled about their 12/13 yr old daughter having (and loving) an album called DOGGYSTYLE. Having that album also didn’t make me rush to do ANYTHING Snoop & the Dogpound were doing on the album. We had MTV/BET so we saw NWA, Luke & all that. ALL DAY😂

YK what’s wild about seeing/HEARING voter suppression live & in real time? How the media, including white progressive media, threw Black voters under the bus & blamed us for 2016 even though they all knew voter suppression prohibited what, 200k voters from voting in key states.
There were articles all over the place admitting that in key Red states, voter suppression of Black & Dem votes was very real and yet, ‘Low Black turnout’ was everywhere. Those were even Progressive talking points. Nevermind that 200k votes were tossed/not allowed when we knw...
...that man only won the EC, with 70k votes. That’s all. So seeing the President try & swing this shit...after an election where, once again, NO ONE voted against this monster more than Black Voters & watching white Progressive media B so shocked that voter suppression is real...

In ppl’s attempt to “educate” Black voters, ppl never question WHY Millions of Black voters STOPPED voting Repub. That, by itself is anti Black. Cause instead of looking at Black voters coming out of slavery as educated/motivated voters, voting for their own best interest...
...you see Black voters...Black People as being in need of leadership. Of guidance. Cause we’re too “dumb” to know any better, instead of seeing that NO ONE votes as pragmatic as Black Americans. We lived thru this country’s terror. And we still are. You don’t think Black...
...people, fresh out of slavery knew what this political system was & is?? Just insulting people’s intelligence & being anti-Black af. Instead of being racist, why don’t you bring that same energy to the tens of millions of WP who vote Repub? How about you do that?

Know what’s wild about being a BW who’se been in Hollywood since she was 14? You know how dangerous & predatory the biz is. Espc 4 kids. I’m proud that I’m still in it. But I understand ppl who’ve had to leave & also the ppl that fell into addiction or other issues. So when...
...folks try & “put you in your place” by bringing up “your crackhead years”...I know they’ve mixed me up with someone else. And I also know, at 15 yrs old...one or 2 diff choices & that absolutely could’ve been me. And the world would’ve gone on. It puts you in a position 2...
...both be protective of the ppl you know they’re referring to...but also sad that it could’ve been you. It’s such a strange & sad position a lot of us are in. I’m so fucking proud that I have family who loves me outside of this shit. And I do not take it lightly. There’s...

AOC said that this country needs MAJOR anti-racism what...education or outreach in this country & she’s gotten major pushback w/in the party about that. There’s similar push back about the ‘Defund the Police’ movement. Which, tbf if you don’t look into what it means...
...which folks have had plenty of time to do, but if you haven’t, the idea of no police *does* scare a lot of ppl. Black ppl included. But the idea is to reallocate funds to other much needed/safer/healthier options for citizens in need. There *are* also ppl who want NO police.
Saying all of that to say, AOC & newer, fresher Dems (espc of color) know that there are HUGE opportunities to GROW the base & engage with voters/voters of color who have been abandoned/ignored. And that movement has been happening on the ground for YEARS/DECADES w/o ...

Yup. “Latino” is not a singular race. Ppl got mad @ Joe 4 saying what he said but he’s right. Puerto Ricans don’t vote like Cubans who don’t vote like Mexicans etc. Diff histories/diff fears/diff motivations. Add race 2 the mix (lots of White Latinx ppl) & have a REAL good time🙃
This country threw everyonecwho speaks Spanish into the “Latinx” category like ppl aren’t descendants of Conquistadors, descendants of African enslaved ppl AND descendants of Indigenous ppl. JUST LIKE THE STATES. But the “Latinx” vote is supposed to be the same?? And that’s...
...just within the same country. Imagine lumping ppl from 20plus countries into one block. It doesn’t work. And Joe was right, you cannot count the made up “Latinx” vote the same as any other group. Folks are NOT the same, do not come from the same circumstances & do not...
