Beyoncé’s AOTY Win Shows a Refusal to Be Erased It’s one thing for Beyoncé to win the night’s most prestigious award. It’s another to win for 'Cowboy Carter.'

“The onus is always on us to hold the door open for the next Black woman to arrive. Because if not us, then who?”

I wrote about Beyoncé’s Album of The Year win for TIME.

Cowboy Carter, GNX, and Alligator Bites Never Heal hitting kinda different now 🤌🏾

We will continue to recognize people as they wish to be recognized and continue to affirm their right to the existence that validates their personhood. I will accept nothing less.

- a few reminders this morning.

But until then, I suggest maybe the four seasons.

Black American culture is so rich. The way our ancestors have cultivated a legacy of music, food, art, fashion, community, etc is impeccable given their circumstances. Being Black in America is a blessing 💯

I’ll continue to say… I don’t want a man who wants a wife. I want a man who wants to be a husband.

They’re two different ppl 🙂‍↔️

I pray for wealth in all things: in love, in finances, in friendship, in health, in experiences, in adventure, in excitement, in wisdom, in opportunity.

- it’s everything. I’M EVERYTHING.

“Writers don’t write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don’t. …If you wrote from experience, you’d get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”

RIP, genius….

Illustration of a warm and inviting kitchen scene featuring three generations of a Black family. A young girl with braided hair and white beads is in the center, cutting out biscuits using a tin can. Her grandmother with gray hair rolls dough in the foreground next to her. In the background, her mother tastes the macaroni and cheese, standing near a stove with a pot of greens and a pound cake visible.

Woke up with breath in my lungs, able to move, a roof over my head, food on the table, transportation, a few dollars in the bank, and not in the hospital. Let's praise Him!

“Thank you for your payment”…
