MOTHER...


In a few weeks i will be living one of my dreams...i'm going to MOTHER Africa -Mali. I have been trying to visit Mali for FIVE long years and now the ticket is bought, immunizations are done and my visa is in process!!!!! I am sooo stoked. This is not just a vacation for me, i am going HOME.
It is stifling to only read about and research where you come from, with out a clear and face to face understanding of those facts. It's troubling to see people who look like you, but that you feel so disconnected from. It is life threatening not to be introduced to your greatness in person, so that you can continue the legacy. I am about to experience my knowledge, connect with my brethren/sistren, and see my greatness for the first time. If these white folks (and even some of us) were not ready for me as i am, they sure as hell ain't going to be ready for me after my MOTHER tells me her stories.

until next time....stay Black

THEY DON'T KNOW ME

I was strongly advised, in order for me to get the most out of this blog i have to use it. I think that was sound advise, hence this entry and many to come.
The day that lead me to create my blog was about four weeks ago now. That day i realized, once again, that m.f.'ers who think they know me and don't, get on my damn nerves especially when you are dealing with adults you think are mature enough to understand real life situations. There is a brotha in my MBA program (lets call him "BM" for brotha man) who has miraculously figured out (or is trying to figure out) that I like girls (by the way, i am a girl) and is doing his damndess to bring his new findings to my attention (i don't know why, i already know i like girls!). So he starts on me by making dumb ass comments for an entire week. Maybe i was extra sensitive or maybe it is just a sensitive subject for me at this time, but BM's comments brought me to tears in the middle of class one day. Now why is he so interested? I have no f'ing idea. Only by the grace of God and the supportive words over IM from my sands, did i not kick that mutherfucker's ass all over the class room - pisses me off just thinking about his ignorant ass and audacity. This is why mugs be going off "for no reason" on people. He really needs to leave me the hell alone. Luckily for him, since then, he has left me alone with that mess. I think my attitude in the days following tipped him off that he was about to get got.
Before the beginning of this year i had not directly told anyone or seriously dealt with the fact that "i like girls" (as i like to call it) and for the most part it has been a positive thing especially that NONE of my people really tripped when i spilled the beans, hell one came out after i told her about me. Maybe because i have had such a smooth road on this journey thus far, i needed someone like BM to thicken my skin a little. But still, people can be a trip trying to justify what you do for their own "peace of mind." Well in the words of a very wise person i know "fuck'em in the eye."
Until next time...blessings
