This is some real talk and why it's important to reclaim our narrative and our imagery (check our bio). We're collectively sold an idea and then fight to fulfill someone's dreams. It's time to create our own again. Our own leagues. Our own success. Our own stories. #tajimag #blackbeauty #blackculture #africanfashion #Africanculture #melanin #selflove #naturalhair #blackexcellence #problack #panafrican #blackconsciousness #buyblack #blacklove #supportblackbusiness #blackowned #unapologeticallyblack #blackart #shopblack #webuyblack #royalty #blackmodels #thisaintforyou #hot97 #stylesp #hiphop #takeaknee #negroleague

I've always preferred the comparison of our hair to cotton over wool. Either way, this is some full and fluffy gorgeousness right here. 👑💛👑 *📷 of @modelbrittanym* #tajimag #blackbeauty #blackculture #africanfashion #Africanculture #melanin #selflove #naturalhair #blackexcellence #problack #panafrican #blackconsciousness #buyblack #blacklove #supportblackbusiness #blackowned #unapologeticallyblack #blackart #shopblack #webuyblack #goddess #royalty #blackmodels #blackhair #afro #blackgirlswithstyle #blackgirlswithlonghair #thisaintforyou

Yesterday morning I received a message from someone telling me to “Stop acting like your sobriety is the invention of the second fucking wheel.” This troubled me for a number of reasons. First, I spend most of my days and nights working and alone, so I’m not really sure where I’m acting like this. Second, acting holier than thou is the last thing I’ve ever done ever, in any context. I’ve made a beast of myself more times than I care to admit. I’ve done and said horrible things to strangers and those I care about. I would never in a million lifetimes ever put on to be better than anyone. For any reason. Let me say this, these posts are for ME, a sort of therapy and a way to keep myself accountable and to keep on track trying to be a better person. These aren’t for anyone else. Period. If you dig them in any way, cool. If you don’t or you’re annoyed by them or whatever, scroll on by, it’s pretty easy. I don’t really care. As Tom Waits put it, “You can’t really be too concerned with what people think of you. You’re on your own adventure of growth and discovery. Like Charles Bukowski said, ‘People think I’m down on Fifth and Main at the Blarney Stone, throwing back shooters and smoking cigars, but really I’m on the top floor of the health club with a towel in my lap, watching Johnny Carson.’ So it’s not always good to be where people think you are, especially if you subscribe to it as well...which is easily done, because then you don’t have to figure out who you are, you just ask somebody else.” I’d rather keep asking myself. #tomwaits #lowsideoftheroad #cleanandsober #thisaintforyou #ilovehaters #mindingmyownbusiness #inspirationalquotes #dayfiftysix (at Highland Square)
