I lit sage ONE time and suddenly I’m pacing like I’m waiting on a mixtape to drop.

The demon must be me.

How many times does a Black queer body have to survive before it’s seen as human and not just ‘strong’? Why do we have to endure hell just to be allowed softness?

People have touched what they shouldn’t have, tried to take what wasn’t theirs. And still, I show up. Black, queer, exposed, soft. Healing ain’t pretty, but baby it’s honest.

Lemme hear you get loud if you're healing along with me.

It is so ghetto when people log onto LinkedIn saying they're looking for a new role. They might as well shake a cup.

I come from a place where we've turned cotton into crowns.

I just wanna be white for the handshake part. The offer letter part. The starting-salary-with-no-experience part. Then on Day 1 I revert back like to Nigga settings. HR would pass out.

Me: "Nicki is not an ally to the community. She supports anti-Trans movements."

A random gay man: "IDC, I love Nicki. The trans community is not our community Anthony."

• This one is for the boys who were told softness would kill them.
• This one is for the ones who survived being seen.
• This one is for the bodies they tried to bury in silence.
• This one is for the Black boys who loved in secret and paid for it.

This guy deleted me after I called him
a c**n. It wasn't an insult--It was a diagnosis.

The only trade that can be associated with a white man, is "slave trade."

Every time a Black queer body chooses to be seen in its erotic truth, an empire trembles.

Audre Lorde taught us the erotic is power. I just dressed the lesson in leather so you’d pay attention.

To be Black and queer is to be hunted and holy, all at once.

Remember when, y'all didn't like Black features until Beyoncé said she liked negro noses. Y'all ain't slick.
