I rolled out of bed to start planning my annual NYD meal with the ancestors, but I needed a little pick me up. I prayed @equinoxcoffeems would be open. I love this place ❤️❤️❤️ Y’all make sure to follow @keekswithacamera for today’s meal reel.

And everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn... I’m tired of living in a state where ppl continually vote against themselves and growth of the state. I’m truly over it today. Currently taking suggestions on where I should relocate. (at Hattiesburg, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLAxodhecl/?igshid=1akdk9f9cfikk

Friday, my mom stopped by and brought me a few grocery items, including fresh green tomatoes from my aunt’s garden. Now if you know my mom, you know she does not give up a green tomato easily. So, here some pics of my cooking them before she comes back for them 🤣. Love you mom! Oh, I made my first Rémoulade sauce. #friedgreentomatoes #remoulade #homecooking #gardenfresh (at Hattiesburg, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjDJxWgqgE/?igshid=1lx7mdahrehl

If a mask mandate is an infringement of rights, why is controlling a uterus a function of government?

You cannot learn from a history that has been whitewashed.
Who knows about Sally Hemings?
She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.
Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?
She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.
The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.
She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.
This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.
I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.
These people left a legacy.
A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.

Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter - It's hard to heal when the violence doesn’t stop.
I recently turned 37, and I spent some time thinking about the last 10 years of my life. There’s something that happens when you are in your late 20’s. There’s a click in your brain, and you begin to become your most honest self. You begin weeding toxic people from your life. And, you start dealing with this growing rage inside you in hopes of repairing the cracks in your foundation. Cracks…
