What People Are Saying

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.

I’ve read your blog for a long time and this is
my first time responding. You give me reason
to think and improve upon myself and others.
Thank you.

About a month ago, Jonzey and I were having a conversation on Twitter where she mentioned that she didn’t know that Miami had sugar daddies. And I responded saying something along the lines of, Being sponsored is being owned. I mean, the moment you do some shit your sponsor don’t want, you get silenced. As [...]
