So…Hilary Clinton, in what wreaks of desperation, made an appearance at Black Girls Rock. It really doesn’t matter what she said because all I know is BLACK FOLKS CAN’T NEVER HAVE SHIT WITHOUT SOME WHITE PERSON INJECTING THEMSELVES INTO THE MIX! My major issue is with whomever the hell at Black Girls Rock who green…

I declare March 2, 2016 National Callie Day Day. There is so much oppression, and fear, and hurt, and anger, and hopelessness in this world and I just truly need my soul to be held. I can’t read another story about a black man being killed, I can’t see another young black person accosted at…

So when I found out there was a party coming to LA that was gonna play all of the P Poppin, A Shakin music I grew up on in the Midwest and South I was like…uh hhhh-hhhell yeaa I wanna go (in boxer from Harlem Nights stutter). Rounded up a posse. 4 out of six…

Last week I went to have a smog test done on my car and decided to go to Chili Johns because it was right across the street and I’d heard good things about this Burbank staple. When I walked in I felt transplanted to another place. It took a little (maybe 30-40 seconds of standing)…

  I was watching  the Strolling Cecile and Emeke short on Youtube and a sista brought to my attention this wonderfully ignorant holiday in the Netherlands called Sinterklass. Their version of Santa has a black sidekick named (Zwarte Piet) Black Pete. To my ears its a racial slur. The Dutch version of Nigger, Jiggaboo, or…

A long awaited dream came true last month. I was finally able to go to Brazil! Back in about 2005 I had a realization of how the American education system has failed millions of citizens because until I saw City of God, I had no clue Black people were in South America. In my ignorance,…

Do you realize everything he does that tickles your funny bone is an imitation of Black Culture?  My social media feeds were abuzz with his portrayal of Terrence Howard on Empire, any skit he has with Justin Timberflake about the history of rap, and so on. Even his slow jam skit with the President pulls…

So tonight I decided to run to the mall to get my eyebrows did. I threw on something and headed out. As I  was walking to my car I realized I didn’t put on a bra! I thought of Sister Veejah’s #sexspeaks story about living bra-free life and it was her words that pushed me…

Everyday there is an increasing emotional downward spiral. Another time in which we have to acknowledge that we are Black in America and living in fear. Today I learned that there will be no indictment in the murder of Sandra Bland. In an attempt to block the pain I couldn’t even look directly at the…
