Hi! It's me, Jen.

October 19. The inner world can only be experienced, not described.

Money often costs too much.

Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

I can relate to this—🙋🏼‍♀️ Hello Tuesday

“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“
