I used to get clowned by folks in college for my use of “finna.” Tried to change up my vernacular to be perceived as the top student that I was. But what I learned at the top was to be myself and love the language of my community. #aave #ebonics #finna #blackandproud #blackgirlmagic #language #vernacular #linguistics #chicagogirl #southernroots https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaAA8FBEsH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pyw7hp4oh2vt

A little under the weather today. Decided to go outside in my own yard to get some r&r. It’s 72° and sunny... really couldn’t be more beautiful. I call our family land “God’s Little Acre,” and it provided me with some pretty cool photos.

Seeing the Native in my face. There are parts of me I don’t often embrace. #Black #Native #Choctaw #ChoctawNation #American #OriginalWoman (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-nZJzBfg2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1adox61zhe3ri

It was an INSANE year for me. I didn’t post much, because I was in a brand new place working on thangs. I feel like I was in a sort of cocoon, and I’m glad to have survived the process. Beautiful music, writing, and visual art grew from this phase. I was able to slow down, read books, live on the ocean, grow crops, and face fears. I am sooo grateful. Here’s to the ending of my most recent cocoon phase, and to a promising 2019 🍾 #topnine #bestnine #2018 #happynewyear #2019 (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsBH07SBP8D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=isekydawnvge
