She isn't has busy as my son was but she causing me some other issues that I didn't experiance with my last pregnancy. My feet are so swollen and I'm very very tired.

Cosplay Throwback for Blackout Friday!

When I look at myself, I see a person that doesn’t fit a lot of social norms. I’m African American and Filipino, I’m overweight, and I have a huge interest in cosplay, anime, and a lot of other art related hobbies.

Growing up, I didn’t see a lot of dark skinned characters in the shows I loved watching. This is why I have a special place in my heart for strong, dark skinned characters such as Katara and Korra from Avatar and Yoruichi from Bleach.

Blackout Friday has shown me that my black is beautiful.

I may not be the ideal form of beauty that society has taught us to embrace, but I want to accept and love myself, to be comfortable in my own skin.

I hope that today and #28DaysofBlackCosplay gives inspiration to fellow Black cosplayers. You are all so beautiful, continue embracing yourselves and loving yourselves. Appreciate each other!

I may not be the best cosplayer, but I hope I can inspire other black cosplayers that you can cosplay no matter the color of your skin.

Today is for you all. Let’s celebrate each other <3

being mixed/black

im about 5 at this time. i’m in pre school. like most kids, i liked to draw, color, paint, whatever. one day, we had to color in a man. just a man, nothing special. i ask my friend, “what should i make his skin tone?” he replies with, “take the normal skin color!” i ask him to hand me that color. he gives me a peachy color, to be blunt, white. he hands me white. ‘white’ is the normal skin color. at the end of the day, all the men were colored white. i didn’t think much of it. I was 4, to me skin color wasn’t a problem (and it helped bc i grew up with a white father and black mother.) time skip to 3rd and 4th grade. they made fun of my curly hair, which i had to pull back into tight ponytails bc i didn’t know how to comb it. white girls would touch my hair, without permission, bc it 'looked cool’ but would be immediately disgusted once they realize how much hair products i put in it to keep it tame. i wasn’t blessed with straight hair. they made fun of me for growing up too early. they called me 'chocolate’, until some girl said “hey, she’s too light to be called chocolate! call her caramel!” yet they get offended and hurt once i call them something stupid like mayonnaise. for two years, i was made fun of, called caramel, i was called a nigger, i was called ugly, all bc my skin was darker than theirs. not even my teachers took me seriously. 5th grade. i had friends. nobody bullied me. but i noticed that i was somehow undesirable to boys. i don’t understand why. again, even in 5th grade, i still did not comprehend the concept of skin color. 6th grade. in my school, the black kids were with the black kids, the white kids with the white, and etc. i was mixed. i didn’t fit in anywhere. i was too white for the black and too black for the white. so i walked alone, and fell in love with a boy. my first ever actual love. to say it didn’t end well would be an understatement. he called me derogatory terms and dared calling me a 'ugly monkey’. still, i didn’t understand. in 7th grade, is when i realized. people threw the word nigger around like it was nothing. they acted like it had no meaning to it. bc my class was not diverse, get immediately categorized me with the blacks. that’s all i am to them, and now, in 8th grade, im still getting bullied. i finally understand the concept of color. i now understand that if you’re just a little bit tan, you’re bound to be categorized. i watched my black friend say 'if i was white, i would be prettier. everyone is prettier when they’re white!’ if that’s not sad, i don’t know what is.

ts crazy how as soon as you start uplifting Black Women people start ATTACKING YOU. They say shit like “that’s racist” and it’s wrong then start talking that “All women share the same struggle” shit. First off both statements are bullshit. If you don’t know why, get counseling. The worst part is sometimes even Black people say these things. Imagine a Black Person attacking you for telling their own kind to love themselves and that they’re beautiful. The irony is when you see all of these images and hear these sayings that uplift White women nobody says shit. You’ll never get attacked for telling a White Girl she’s beautiful, but as soon as you start uplifting Black Women it’s a problem. The truth is that White people only want you to uplift their race and their women. The Blacks who say it’s wrong also don’t want you to uplift anybody but white people; they don’t want you to upset massa. Telling Black Women whom have been beat down so much by this Racist nation that they’re special is not wrong at all. Stop the Bullshit. Written By @KingKwajo (Instagram)
