black studies is people.

who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, i speak for you?

God willing — if Black History Month still exists next week — I am available to speak at your company or institution or community event about Black life, Black art, and Black futures.

Back in 2004, I created the first hip-hop studies course to be taught at Georgetown University.

One year ago today, and I miss you, Daddy. 💜

‘because I wanted to be a poet like Nikki Giovanni.’

thank you, ms. giovanni 🤎

if you think you love doechii, please go study bahamadia.

i’ve lost the use of my heart / but i’m still alive.

With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,

my d’angelo vee is beginning to show. (late-nineties d’angelo.)

it was a line at the beautiful.

being black is fun, but it’s stressful.

you don’t have to be just one thing.

go where the love is.
