what a time to be young and powerless and broke and annoyed and stuck and betrayed by every institution you were taught to trust and broke and broke and broke and lost and young and inexperienced and without "3-5 years of experience" and young and broke and justifiably angry

Hey yo my NYC folks!! My play UMOJA is having an industry reading in NYC this August! And we’re still looking for AEA Actors! Synopsis: At a predominantly white university in Birmingham, Alabama, six Black students form a co-ed fraternity to uplift their community, only to find their mission threatened by rising racial tensions, a campus scandal, and personal secrets that force them to confront their values and each other. Please submit or share!!!

My unpopular opinion is that we should start denormalizing people not reading. We have reached a point where college educated adults will look at you with a straight face and tell you they haven’t read a book or article in years???

The west village article brings up something that I’ve seen happening in both NY and LA, these people are here in these cities on a pit stop for content before they move back to their hometown to start families. They contribute nothing and don’t plan on being in the community.

it's because we all look the same to them and it's connected to Obama being called a black president instead of a biracial one
the problem with black girl representation is that there will be a biracial girl who is half black, and she’s the only one, and then she’s labeled ā€œthe black girlā€ even though she isnt representative of what most black girls look like or identify with.

You cannot be a ā€œrich auntieā€ with no community ties to children. ā€œAuntieā€ ain’t just an aesthetic — it is a title. An honored one! Auntie has a definition, both real and cultural. Aunties and Uncs are community pillars. That man ain’t an auntie, he’s an island to himself.

The Black Church makes to much money off the people to not work as financial institution for the people. Granny tithed 10% of her income every Sunday for 50 years but died dependent on Social Security. Now her family has to pay to have the funeral at the church she paid off.
