I don’t know what this says about me, bu I just always envisioned my adult self as being wildly fabulous, drinking red wine & listening to jazz music when I was a kid. Constant imagery.
It occurred to me tonight, as I’m drinking red wine in my kitchen and jazz plays over the tv in my living room, that I am the embodiment of my childhood day dreams. Wildly fabulous, drinking red wine & listening to jazz.
I like to think I’ve always had taste, ever since a young age ✨

Unpopular opinion but black women have free will. Black women are people just like everyone else. Black women can choose whether or not they want to be natural or not, whether or not they like or don’t like their natural hair, whether or not they want to choose to take care of it or not and shouldn’t be ridiculed or accused of being anti black or horrible for making a different choice. Black women can choose whether or not they want lip filler, want other cosmetic procedures, black women can decide who they want to be, who they want to present themselves as, where they want to live, who they want to marry and spend the rest of their lives with, if they want to have children or not and if they want to raise them the way that they were raised. Black women can decide if they want to be feminine or soft or if they want to be taken care of throughout their lives instead of playing into the strong black woman stereotype. Black women can decide what religion they want to practice or if they want to practice one at all. Black women can decide what they want to go to school for, what they want to be educated on and if their performance is enough or not without other peoples expectations or opinions. Nobody hates black women like black people. And we take many steps backwards trying to push black women to exist as we think they should rather than allowing them to be their own people, to exist as they want to exist within this world, to not be a monolith.

it's really infuriating how black women (honestly women in general but i'm going to specify speak on black women and inside the community) aren't allowed to be victims of black men. anytime a black woman speaks out against a black man, its always "oh they're just trying to tear a black man down" or "oh they just want to ruin the black man's image". not every black man is emmett till🥴
