I think what pains me the most about the loss of both C.T. Vivian (95) & John Lewis (80) is this idea and shown fact that our lives have to be a lifelong struggle/fight. This is so accepted & ingrained in us and while it’s a “good” fight, it’s no way to have to live.
Note that as Juneteenth signifies our freedom, it’s always been an illusion. That same year 1865 & 1866 Black Codes/ Black Laws, we’re immediately passed governing and limiting the conduct of “free blacks” ensuring their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery.
Anyone interested in sitting on the Boston Cannabis Board? We are looking to fill two open seats with someone with zoning expertise and a community leader. The board pays a stipend of $600 per hearing, 2 hearings each month. Let me know if you’re interested!
A bunch of people asked to take pics & vids of me at the concert but this girl & her friends had me hype listen to them screaming lmao

Recently I went on a Boston crime tour led by retired detective on this case & many others. When this case came up, about 8 white women behind us kept apologizing to me & my homegirl, insisting they didn't agree with it. Sure Jan.
