"Weird." I've been called that from school friends, college mates, and even Dave Chappelle told me that I "weirded him out", after I walked away from an intimate session of him making jokes that I didn't laugh at when I was on tour with Lauryn Hill. I'm a loner. You can't tell bc it seems ppl are always around. But I run alone. I make MY decisions, and take the rewards and/or consequences that come with MY decisions. I DO NOT LIKE WHEN YOU SPEAK FOR ME. I'm capable of doing THAT myself. I'm WAY more "weird" than folks know. Mainly because I'm JUST MYSELF. YOU'RE weird, too, if you're thinking your OWN thoughts, and doing things YOUR way, as opposed to what cultural, religious, societal, and any other fake entities and labels try and persuade you to be. CONGRATULATIONS! ❤ -Mavis Swan Poole #MavisSwanPoole #Weirdo #DareToBeYou #Black #Beauty #Queen #InMyOwnLane #Weird #Artist #Love #SelfAcceptance

I LOVE my King and Queen Aria's individuality. They're a LOT alike in some ways, but NOTHING alike in other ways. At this age, it's easy to be their genuine selves.❤ I suppose if the Creator didn't REALLY care about us, there'd be NO thought into creating unique people and personalities. Personality is a gift. To be one of a kind shows that there was thought put into EVERY being that has and will ever exist. Be yourself. It's your right. It's your freedom. It's your gift. I'm grateful for mine.❤ #MavisSwanPoole #King #Queen #Fashion #YoungBlackKing #YoungBlackQueen #Aria #CuteKids #Babymodel #Shades #Hat #Khaki #BabyDoll #BabyIcons #LaterGator #Stripes #BurgundyLocsPhotography #MSPPhotoEdits (at Brooklyn, New York)

"Pick and choose your circle carefully. If ALL of your friends are squeaky clean and pristine, who you gone call when you need somebody to deal with the low down dirty times? 🤔 There's genuine ppl in EVERY walk of life. Authentic ppl are sacred, even when they don't fit in to societal norms. I'll take a genuine person over a title any day.❤" -Mavis SWAN Poole #MavisSwanPoole #ChooseWisely #Authentic #Genuine #Fashion #MiniDreads #Sisterlocks #Blue #Gorgeous #Glasses #Black #Queen #Accessories #Melanin #BlackQueenShine #BlackQueenQuests #BlackQueenThings

Yesterday. I reunited with another Sista Queen. Ate at Firebirds. Went to hear my King friends play music. Sang a little. Had an unplanned reunion at McCabe's. Laughed SOOO hard. Felt genuine LOVE with ppl I genuinely LOVE. Sigh.

Had way too much fun with my God sister last night.😜 Ran into old high school and college friends. Danced on a pole. Sang. Drank. Laughed. Reasoned. Yeah. It was beautiful.❤
