Black women have to write the book, read the book, explain the book, decode the book and then pretend to not know toooo much so it can be palatable. man. gone.
Add sports team owner to Angel Reese's list of accomplishments 👏
Reese is the newest owner of Washington, D.C. based professional women’s soccer team DC Power Football Club.
I think about all the things we put aside “for later” to be in this industry. Marriage, children, seeing family, etc...so we don’t miss our “big break” or an audition...and...43, man. Our lives are the “big break”...we have to remember that.
y'all treat Janet like she regular way too often for me. 15 million views, my baby. when you HAD to buy the service. no sharing passwords, nothing. people spent the coin for Damita Jo. ICON!
my friend was DJing at a brunch and he and my (now) husband have similar style. I went up to him thinking it was my friend and when he turned around I was like 🤭. he came & asked for my number and that was that.
he would send locations, times and outfit ideas for our dates.
The comments on this are great 🙂
If y'all wouldn't mind dropping a comment/quote tweet of where you met your spouse & a pic - people seem interested 🤷🏻♂️
We met on hinge 🙏
@MichelleHux
I said the same thing and the excuse she used was that the interview was pushed up by a DAY. So, like, when were you planning to prepare, sis?
You work for fucking VOGUE. Lol. I can’t.

slapping a man, winning an Oscar and then doing a live performance of one of your biggest hits while holding said Oscar is ICONIC. I am so sorry.
My sister is doing her inaugural performance of George Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker” at NYC Ballet. They featured her on their IG and she said she listens to Tupac to get ready. I am so proud. ❤️💅🏾👸🏾🙌🏾
I can’t get over how my boo Riley Curry carried like that to “Already” with her little sister serving a lewk and playing it chill on the side. I just...
when I got old enough to realize that my grandmother lived in a food desert and then I saw a Whole Foods get moved within 5 miles of an area with no one who could afford it...I never opened my mouth about the food choices of people in poor areas again.
simple.
Black men who’ve made something out of nothing only to be gunned down in their own hometowns…that breaks my heart every single time.
tired of seeing young Black women mourning their lovers, burying the fathers of their children. it’s just sick, man.

@kathia_woods
Announcing this just days before many people have already scheduled travel, accommodations, etc…is disgusting. And then to say they can just simply not come? Jobs aplenty?! Tone deaf, out of touch and disrespectful. As hell.
I just keep thinking about all the Black creatives who can make their rent for the next few months because Beyonce EMPLOYED them for a historic performance. Like...100+. Musicians. Dancers. The people who live off of gigs.

Queen Creole Goddess of the Sun brought Black history, African gods/goddesses, Black Greek life and a stage full of Black talent to a festival that is usually attended by mostly white festival goers. My President is Black.

@ApolloTheLeader
still doesn't serve your point. there are a dozen films with the same premise w/ all white casts but it's clear you just want to hate on BW.

@ConnectwithLo_
Sorry, Tori can stay at the crib. I want all cornbread raised, Baptist church on Sunday singing Black women for Aretha. Period.
i want all my friends to experience gentle love. love that does not require breaking. black women deserve ease in intimacy. so happy for my girls who have that.
@ApolloTheLeader
actually isn's the same premise at all. it's a remake of a British film and they murder a man in it. But more on things you don't know...
Spent the weekend with
@RDCworld1
@dreamconvention
courtesy of Mountain Dew. What they’ve created is a super dope, inclusive and safe space for Black gamers, anime fans and creators. So much good energy the last few days. Hope they continue to change the world. 💙
@ScottieBeam
LOOOOLLLL is the Black experience not sometimes a teeny little bit monolithic because the way my mama talk about Charlotte like it's heaven.
i interviewed

So, the next time you think about the way we’ve all abided under the safety of hip-hop, or when names get dropped in the GOAT conversation, don’t forget Kimberly Denise Jones, the woman who gave us everything…
@GiaPeppers
The idea of closure puts the onus of healing or moving forward on something outside of yourself so, I don’t find it helpful. Usually it’s just an attempt to get an emotional recognition of importance/worth from the other person. To know it was real
for them. Nope. Bye.
@theninaparker
There is something that all his comments have in common and the similarities tell me that the demo of the women he spends a lot of time with have led him to believe they’re true. Lol. It’s something very Terrell Owens about it all.
yesterday, my little sister made history as the first Black woman to perform Dewdrop in Balanchine’s Nutcracker in NYC Ballet’s 75-year existence.
It’s the flesh-tone tights, brown pointe shoes and custom Zac Posen costume for me! 💅🏾🩰

@NYTStyles
especially when one of the draftees announced her move to the WNBA in what is considered to be the fashion holy grail. lol.
I think about Serena Williams saying she just wanted to be treated nice in regards to marrying her partner often and I know so many Black women really get to a place where that's just the bottom line. Not having a person be cruel and hurtful.
the bar is in hell.
came to meet someone in March I'd been FaceTiming with for a couple months for what was supposed to be a 5 day trip. Turned into 4 months. Very crazy. Very happy with the results. 😊
This coming week makes a year since my ex-fiance ghosted me.
take chances. life is short.
@bevysmith
EXACTLY, Auntie. While being married to a woman who, along with her family, profits from emulating/stealing from Black women creators. He’s definitely not kinfolk.
@AttyCCN
No one on his 2 other championship teams were top 2 centers. Lol. Now come on. The second part of your statement holds some weight but egregious overstatement in the first part
Baby sister ballerina princess is in this talking about diversity on the City Ballet stage. Her 2nd year in Nutcracker and she’s a corps member of the company.
I am thee proudest big sister always but even prouder that she can inspire others. Living her dreams!
In the 65 years
