CMMNTY… What’s up?

BLACK ON BLACK is alive. Still evolving.

None of it is separate.

“Any system against us is against the divine!”

I love this reaction. People these days are so uncomfortable with growth. Growth is new. Growth is unknown. To many it’s scary as f**k. But once said and I’m , “Show me a man who is the same 20 years later and I’ll show you a man that wasted 20 years of his life.”
Wear my shirts and water their . Like weeds it will grow without their efforts.

.greene’s post this morning reminded me of this post from a few back. So to round out my Father’s Day block, I think it is time we put this "absentee black father" business to bed once and for all. The numbers don’t support it because . I found this a few years ago and always refer back to it.

"Considering the fact that “black fatherhood” is a phrase that is almost always accompanied by the word “crisis” in U.S. society, it’s understandable that the CDC’s results seem innovative. But in reality, the new data builds upon years of research that’s concluded that hands-on parenting is similar among dads of all races. There’s plenty of scientific evidence to bust this racially-biased myth.”

Food has been connected to Juneteenth since the holiday was first observed on June 19, 1866 — one year after Union Army Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston to announce the emancipation of Black people in Texas, one of the last groups of enslaved people in the U.S. to be freed. Black Texans celebrated a year of freedom with music and food, over time creating annual Juneteenth traditions such as red foods and barbecue.
Our Juneteenth Food Festival on June 18-19 honors the past while creating new traditions in our present. Produced by Jummy’s Picks by Black-Owned Brooklyn (our curatorial brand) and , the event reflects the diversity of Black Brooklyn with more than 20 vendors offering cuisine from across the African Diaspora.
Taking place on the historic grounds of Weeksville Heritage Center — once one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America and home to many abolitionist leaders — the festival will also feature a marketplace of Black-owned cultural goods, educational activities and performances. To bring the vibes, we’ll have sets from a lineup of all-Black q***r and trans DJs curated by (6/18) and the legendary collective spinning house and club classics (6/19)!
We hope you’ll join us in a space lovingly made for Black joy, freedom and celebration.

I wanna say to all the amazing fathers out there. I know many of them! Also I have to give a big to the black fathers that were taken away from their kids. It’s too many to name and that is the infuriating part of it all. It’s not lost on me as I spend time with my girls that & should also be here with their kids. .

“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
Angela Davis went to in High School. . I think of that whenever I see who Paloma and Luna are already becoming.
: Angela was my name up until the day I was born as my mom was expecting and wanted a girl. .
My paternal side of the family is named “Davis”.
