Work In Progress

“I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

Outdoor kitty braves the elements in her stylish hoodie. 

Update: Thanks to a tip from @alex-l-h I have found more info about this stylish feline. 

Her name is Suki. She is a Bengal cat from Alberta, Canada. 

She is not just an outdoor kitty…

SHE IS AN ADVENTURER. 

She goes rock climbing. 

Mountain climbing. 

Which can make her a bit sleepy.

She enjoys a good leaf.

Or a good 50 leafs. 

She has a super cool human named Marti. 

Marti is a stellar photographer. 

And Suki is her faithful companion. 

Here is some cat pooping information you are probably interested in knowing… 

Where does Suki poop when you are outside or on the road? Suki uses her litter box while we are driving, so that just means having to pull over to clean it up if it’s a #2. She doesn’t like doing her business when we are on the trails, but will eventually just go when she finds a suitable patch of ground. Make sure to bring a baggie to remove the poop from the trails, its good Karma!

Suki isn’t thrilled that people know about her pooping habits. 

BECAUSE SHE IS A VERY CLASSY KITTY, OKAY?

Now boop the nose!

If you’re not quite ready to make the jump, there is a podcast you can listen to as well as articles and links to help answer some of your questions about mental health and/or therapy.

The purpose, as I understand it, is to provide a place where black women can go to find culturally sensitive therapy. Some specialize in family/couples as well.
