Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she?s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i?m thankful.

Image via Metro Times Dedicated to Jonzey and our conversations about Hennessy / Carol’s Daughters sponsored art. This post is about money, artists and how corporations are deliberate and never neutral. Spending the last few months teaching a multiracial group of young people about race, art, class, history and feminism, I have learned a lot [...]
On Clutch Danielle Belton has an excellent and problematic post titled, “Celebrating the Black Beauty on White Women”. She discusses in general the politics of race and women’s bodies as well as the politics of White artists performing what has historically been seen as Black music (see Eminem, Elvis and Adele). I am really interested [...]
Perhaps it is because I finally listened to Watch the Throne. Or perhaps it is because I have been writing about Beyonce on this blog for what, three years now. Perhaps it is because I am smack dab in the middle of researching Black women’s sexuality. Perhaps it is because I hear Janelle Harris in [...]
The way through the project is sharing it. So here I go. I have been reading Telling Histories: Black Women Historians in the Ivory Tower because @Kismetnunez recommended it and also learning about how Black women who I admire, dealt with racism and sexism helps me to deal with racism and sexism. Lord knows [...]
Waaaaay back in 2008 I wrote a blog post in the summer time, right after we learned that Erykah Badu was pregnant with her little bear about the fact that Black women’s bodies do not belong to themselves. Looking back I realize that I was inspired by the fact that that in public people feel [...]

Publishers Weekly cover from Dec 2009 The other day I was reading an interview with Ishmael Reed and he said some things about Black fiction that got me to thinking.? The interview was with Jill Nelson for his new book, “Barack Obama and the Jim Crow Media: Return of the Nigger Breakers.” Tell me how [...]
Where does all the nerdiness come from? I get it from my momma, Talking with Y’all, And reading all these books. Yes. Above is one semesters worth. Glad I got my eye sight still. Not a bad life, no? Amen.
