The Beauty of Black Queer Love. “It’s probably under the moonlight that we see that Black boys can be blue, can be sad and sullen and intimate. It’s under starlight that we see them differently, or that we get the chance to. Because we rarely see ourselves in those hues or under that gauze. We see ourselves in the harsh police light or the amber of street lights, but what is it when the reflection of the sun in the moon is sitting on these bodies. What beauty can we see?” — @octarell_again on the Academy Award winning film @moonlightmov #BlackGayLove #Moonlight #LoveIsLove #LoveWins #Queer #Love #BlackBodies #Hollywood #TarellAlvinMcCraney #RepresentationMatters #OurVoice #OurStory #OurPower #NativeSon Reposted from @nativesonnow https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl34VxvrdQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rest In Power O’Shae Sibley!!!

@nytimes Reported:

“O’Shae Sibley was at a Brooklyn gas station with friends late Saturday night, filling up a car and blasting music by Beyoncé when a group of men approached and told them to stop dancing, according to friends.

The men began using slurs and Mr. Sibley, 28, a gay man who was a professional dancer and choreographer, confronted them, according to his friends and a video of the altercation. The argument escalated and one man stabbed Mr. Sibley, according to the police. Otis Pena, one of Mr. Sibley’s best friends, pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding before he was taken to Maimonides Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.”

A hate crimes task force is investigating.

Justice for O’Shae Sibley!!! ✊🏾

Prayers up for O’Shae’s family and friends. 🙏🏾🤎🕊️

Thoughts penned by writer/theologian @candicebenbow

"Debate your deacon and talk about it with your trustee because I don’t want to hear it.

O’Shae, may the fiercest and flyest of the angels carry you to your rest. And may your memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved you."

I carry in my bag both my dreams and the dreams of my father. They’re stitched into the leather with hope and persistence and love. I can still hear his voice saying, “Son, you gotta work twice as hard.” It’s not easy. God, it’s hard. But I am determined. • • • #sunday #sundayvibes #reflection #remember #lookingbackmovingforward #handsome #gentleman #swagger #dope #dapper #ootd #mensstyle #streetstyle #fashion #style #gay #lgbt #nativeson #bag #totebag #WhoAreUCarrying #SKWiLBUR #ItsAllInTheBag (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caxb1qivMp9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey Guys...

I can’t wait for you guys to come along with me on this journey. I am an all star cheerleader who loves to travel, cook, go on adventures and take pictures. If I am being quite honest I really dislike reading but when It comes to a Good book with a good message then I really don’t mind. I am a 17 year old , African American woman (so that is the point of view that I am speaking from). 

 For the next month I will be reading Native Son by Richard Wright. I choose book because I felt like the storyline was something I would be interested in. with everything that is going on in the world today between riots and protest I feel like this novel is something that we should be paying more attention to. I can not wait to dive deeper into this story so that we can see all of the different things that Richard Wright has in store for us.

Posted @withregram • @nativesonnow “He grinned. ‘Jood.’ ‘Jood?’ ‘Yeah. I wanna talk ta you. Gimme yo' phone numba.’ He wasn't asking for it; he was demanding it. I felt like doing a somersault. ‘Sure. Can I have yours?’ ‘I'll be Black...” I took that to mean that he would return, and by the time I found a business card, he did. He handed me a piece of paper with his name and a number scribbled in very neat penmanship. ‘My beepa...’ I gave him the card. ‘My home phone is on the back.’ He studied it. ‘Mitchell Crawford, Associate Edita, Your World Magazine...’ He pointed the card at me. ‘Yeah, yo' world.’ I giggled as he stuffed it in his shirt pocket. -The night Mitchell met Raheim in @james.e.hardy.9 #BBoyBlues Tonight we celebrate Sir #JamesEarlHardy with The Griot Honors for his grounding “B-Boy Blues” novel and series and for bringing the stories of #BlackGayMen and #BlackGayLove to life through his writing.

“Make a difference about something other than yourselves.” #ToniMorrison Her words. Her presence. Her genius. Her brilliance. She made a difference to me and to so many who have beautiful words, phrases and prose lighting up our minds and imaginations inside our Black bodies. She gave us hope and a vehicle through her words that encouraged us and affirmed us to know, to be and to create. We thank you beloved Toni Morrison for your Black genius and for igniting our own. #RIP #ToniMorrison #Beloved #Words #BlackGenius #Feminist #Power #Creativity #LiveLoveServe #NativeSon #WorldOfWilbekin #WOW https://www.instagram.com/p/B01EgZ1JVnq/?igshid=11g190cond1on

Native Son

Fate Giver of life now is all but dead and gone Pain Left to die in blood drenched fields or driven off Now nothing remains A ritual tamed What's taken away We will never replace, no Now I'm a native son in a foreign land And I'm just living in a world I can't understand Time Marching forward brings a slow and cruel decay As I fight For the heritage so many died to save Now nothing remains A ritual tamed What's taken away We will never replace Now I'm a native son in a foreign land And I'm just living in a world I can't understand Fractured and cut off from all we had Severed all that's sacred now we stand Strangers left to wander this strange land Now I'm a native son in a foreign land And I'm just living in a world that I can't understand I look around and see that my world is gone Still I keep trying to fit in where I don't belong
