Shifting Gears

hey there readers,

for the past several weeks, i have shifted my focus to writing essays that address the intersections of race, class, gender & sexuality.

i knew it would only be a matter of time since my life often reflects those intersectionalities, is indeed impacted by it.

i feel i have a responsibility to myself, and others who find kinship within this framework, to speak to, witness, testify, confirm & deconstruct these realities.

more importantly, i am listening to the calling, the pull of gravity that is propelling me to the center & further away from margins.

although a lot of what has occupied this space speaks to the myriad of issues that consume me (&, i think, those around me), i believe it is time to be more intentional about where these pieces are parked, how much space they take up...

please pardon my dust as i begin the process of  (un)loading & relocating some of my work.  as i shift gears and drive these pieces to another blog.

i'm really excited about this & hope that you will continue to follow me & my eclectic pieces of mind, find something that resonates, & not hesitate to leave your comment (s).  i really appreciate your audience & welcome your feedback.

i'll be sure to keep you posted about my new blog (currently under construction), let you know when it's up & running.

springing forward!

Published Again!

I am pleased to have an essay featured in For Harriet...

I've identified as a feminist for many years but never have I fully embraced the essentialist view of feminism as “The advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” Whether intended or not, this narrative has been part and parcel of the white imagination. It’s safe, efficient, expedient, and more often than not, class and race exclusive.

Next week, I have a revised essay being published in Black Girl Dangerous...
I love these moments!
