“You are me, and I am you. You cultivate the flower in yourself, so that I will be beautiful. I transform the garbage in myself, so that you will not have to suffer. I support you; you support me. I am in this world to offer you peace; you are in this world to bring me joy.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Sza talking about her Coachella performance, and her appreciation for Beyoncè, back in 2018.

I want that love that lasts more than a minute type love. The type of love that lasts beyond me and my partner.

When I was at work two guys came up to me to ask “light meat or dark meat” I was only 18 at the time and I was frazzled by what seemed like 20 something year old men coming up to an 18 year old to ask about my skin color preference. I didn’t answer. I still don’t know the answer. I think I’m biased. I see beauty in most people and things and that question didn’t make sense to me. Like why would I have a preference on skin color. Theres more beauty in a smile, or in how the light hits someones eyes, or even in how someone laughs. I like to think past the physicality of beauty. shouldn’t all people be appreciated for the beauty that they create simply by being?

I dont really know what it means to be Black. She’s Guyanese like me but she doesn’t really look like me. I’m not light skin and I think thats always slightly effected how I was veiwed in the community. From the darker skin I got from my trini side and the tighter coils of my curls I felt like I was really appreciated in that community.

ASAP? yes, sir. ROCKY? yes, sir. theres no greater message. Just ASAP appreciation. MF is what Michael B Jordan fears.

remember when long dripped out acrylics were ghetto now? now everyone wants to be black without being Black. The golden adornments are just a further step into the realization of Black beauty.

if I could actually commit to a work out consistently and look like this... I would crush the patriarchy with just the sheer force of my thighs.

I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not

I don't waste my time trying to get what you got

I work at pleasing me
