I'd like to be a hard ass. But it's my nature to be mellow. I surprise even myself when I go off the deep end. I have and will always maintain my integrity but there are things that take me over the edge- because unlike most people- I care. About kids. About the poor. About a woman's right to choose. About people of color. You get the picture. I am quite the flower-child. I am in school studying education while pursuing modeling, musical and political endeavors. Conversations with me require RESPECT. Come correct and we can discuss anything. I'm someone's mother. Everything about me juxtaposes everything else and I'm fine with that. I had swag when they called it PERSONALITY. I work as a step teacher/mentor for the Step in Schools Foundation/ Girls Inc. and am currently building a social media movement dedicated to young people of color. Our children need to know that even though the deck is stacked against them, there's nothing they can't do. Seek knowledge and discover power. #WatchMeProgress

The MLK that’s never quoted.

and it’s no accident that this segment is conveniently left out of our education

The white-washing of MLK jr. and the civil rights movement on a whole to make history look kindly upon white folk and convince POC of the disempowering lie that is “Be polite, nice, & don’t challenge us & you’ll get your rights” is one that disgusts me to no end.

YES LAWD. Lest we forget. So many like to hate on MLK but he was a gangsta too. He was just a humanist as well.
