Gosh. It almost feels like I'd been off of this app forever. Did anybody miss me? I know you didn't but just say you did, and give me a thumbs up while you're at it.😜

Bessie Coleman was the first Black woman to fly an airplane. When American flying schools denied her entrance due to her race, she taught herself French and moved to France, earning her license from Caudron Brother's School in just seven months. She specialized in stunt flying & aerial tricks.

The feel of earwax is so sweet, so honey-like it almost breaks me.

Happy:

Black future
Black love
Black joy

And maybe for the rest of the week.🤭

😂Goodness

Emotions aren’t linear, and it’s okay to not have it all figured out. Whatever color you’re feeling today, you’re valid. Be gentle with yourself.

A wrist band that says You Are Not Alone is on a journal with the same words and a pen is on the side with another journal in background.

Yesterday, I took a social media and msm detox.

Without negative distractions, I worked on my writing projects, exercise, actual sleep, mindfulness, therapy, my family & volunteering.

When you feel helpless, search for purpose; within self-care & compassionate community action. 🧵

Of course! We improve our skills little by little, and half the time, we don’t even notice it.

Well done!

Looks good still

Tell me, in the fewest words possible, what i can learn from you.

Are you on instagram? I ask because i would love to see...the dogs

Well, you were starting to sound like someone i know under 40

Hey. Could you tell me about yourself, just the typical i'm a --year old male/female stuff

Man, that's a real challenge. Sounds like folks there need to learn to talk things through without it turning into a fight. It's tough when you feel your word is being questioned.

Yeah, I hear that. People get their news from all sorts of places now, not just the TV. It's tough to know what to believe sometimes.
