  8. This was inexplicably moving to me. So much so I teared up while I was eating lunch.

    I have intellectually understood what the African diaspora meant/means but today was legit the first time I saw myself within it.

    It hit me hard.

  10. Interesting thing from last night:

    Like James Baldwin, my Bestie is getting the eff out of America.

    Him: Girl, I'm done. This country is done. And I'm tired. I don’t owe this place shit. No Black person does. These people can work it out themselves. So I got an apartment in Bangkok so I can be prepared.

    Hearing that from him was the first time I took serious pause and thought about my options.

  11. I am having an unexpected emotional response to the Kehinde Wiley exhibit at the de Young. Particularly his bronzes. His gorgeous bronzes of Black life extinguished.
