Black Culture Is American Culture
Black music has fed mainstream culture like a sacred spring. The songs, the dances, the soul — all of it has laid the foundation of everything that we want from pop culture. A foundation that is appreciated, but hung out to dry in the sun until it’s faded enough to make it sell.
Why is Overrated
I taught a course a few Mother’s Days ago for women seeking to rewrite the stories of the birth of their children (I have an itch to offer it again this year, so keep a lookout if you missed it). In it, I got to witness a gap between something that is commonly known among midwives, doulas, and witchy wisdom guides: we don’t get the birth we had imagined.
When Clowns Get Crowned
I was certain that Donald Trump would never be elected. “Él es un payaso,” (He is a clown) I explained to my server in Mexico back in late 2015 with a casual wave of my hand. My server maintained a worried expression. His family was in the U.S. and what Trump was saying then was a direct threat. One that became a reality.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
