#Lategram ~ Attended a conference: Beyond Diversity- Courageous Conversations. One of the hardest Equity conferences I’ve ever attended. And I held a slave shackle while standing next to a Klan hood at the last one. The video is a visual representation of inequalities and white privilege. The gentleman next to me and I were tied for the lowest. The mass movement you see is 90% of people in my session standing up at the very last moment. Now during this conference some of these people would say some horribly racist things even though they are wanting to work for equity. Well I should note: I think some HAD to be there so maybe they’re not exactly wanting to fight the good fight. I snapped a response after this crying and at the end said “Fuck racism!” I don’t normally post crass language but honestly... #FuckRacism. I would feel physically sick during and after this conference. I would even experience two racist incidents immediately following this conference. But I’ve experienced many incidents before the conference and will experience many after. This path is my duty and I don’t have the luxury of doing nothing or “just not being a champion for social justice” and it’s not always fun but sometimes it’s amazing. And if what I do now can help those in the future well then... let’s go! The second picture is my face with tears and snot coming out. This invalidates me in many spaces but I don’t care- racism is racism and it sure as hell isn’t pretty, convenient, nor always private. I could’ve taken that moment of pain and held it for myself but I didn’t because that’s what racism/inequality wants- silent suffering. As Audre says “Your silence won’t save you.” There are many instances happening in the world, far more violent on a grander and wider scale but I won’t diminish my pain either. It’s alllllll connected. And the last picture well... obviously. #EffRacism #DamnInequality #NoSilence #AudreLorde #PaQueMeInvitan #SocialJusticeWarrior #TogetherWeCan #MiTierra #Juntos

Peter also enslaved Dred Scott who was born Sam Blow. Henry, unlike his father, was an abolitionist, and he not only encourage Scott to sue for his freedom, he helped to cover the legal fees. #henryblow #samblow #dredscott #slavery #abolition #effracism #resist https://www.instagram.com/p/B25klm4n2pu/?igshid=1e9smpmyis9l4

Amélie Nothomb porte plainte contre une harceleuse qui l’attendait en bas de chez elle avec un couteau

Amélie Nothomb porte plainte contre une harceleuse qui l’attendait en bas de chez elle avec un couteau

Selon une infor­ma­tion du maga­zine Closer confir­mée par l’édi­teur d’Amé­lie Nothomb, la roman­cière vient de porter plainte contre une femme qui la harce­lait depuis des années. Cette dernière qui avait pour projet de rentrer par effrac­tion chez l’écri­vaine avant que celle-ci ne la croise dans son hall d’im­meuble. Elle la poursuivait lors de séances de dédicaces, l’attendait régulièrement…

Last night, I had the most amazing Irish experience of my life. So I'm in @safeway in Waldorf and a gentlemen looks at me and laughs. So he says to me, "I just told a friends that we have black brethren and he couldn't believe it and here you are in front of me...I love your t-shirt". Just in case u're wondering, I had on my "Black And Irish, Yes We Exist" tee shirt. So we're rappin'x Bob Sullivan (Sullivan is an Irish last name as well) I showed him my family reunion tee shirt from 2015, the family tree with the "Boyce", "Scott" and "Withrow" names on it, and he takes me to this site, www.houseofnames.com. This site gives the history of every last name in reference to Irish lineage and the crest (shield) associated with every last name. To all my black Irish family that falls under the last name Boyce, Scott or Withrow, please please take time out to visit @houseofnames' website so that you can have knowledge of your lineage. Brotha Bob, thank u sir!!! Ay fam, please tag whoever in the family is a Boyce, Withrow or Scott that I may not be connected with just yet. #BlackIrish #BlackAndIrish #YesWeExist #DrinkUpAndBeMerry #StPatrick #TheSaintThatIntroducedChristianityToIreland #KnowYourHistory #Scott #Boyce #Withrow #FamilyTree #IrishLove #LoveIsLove #EffRacism #swipeleft⬅️ (at Safeway)
