Over the past two weeks, I’ve gotten lots of questions from my fellow content creators and twitter followers about the “whys” of the Twitch: Alternate Thoughts post so here are some answers: Q: Why are you talking shit about Twitch? You’re an affiliate, you can get into trouble. A: I’ll do what I want. Also,…

Reclaiming our Worth
Who are you when you’re not defined by your work? How do you feel about yourself when you do not have the external validation of being a “provider”? How do you even begin to process these questions when society is designed to only celebrate money and status as success? When you sit still and unravel…
BC // Day 3: Love is Worship
Love is the ultimate worship – first, the discovery of by seeing others, the finding of self through others, the exaltation of self as the greatest love and then the actual real work; loving outside of yourself.
You don’t hate tiktok, you hate change and other stories
It’s been really interesting to sit on a platform of “revolutionaries” and free thinkers, folks who if you let them tell it – were crucial in shaping the culture of Twitter and social movements – hate TikTok. TikTok is the future. Sounds corny and maybe it is, but I see the vision and I feel…
Ism or Not?
Another week, another larger non-black streamer is in “trouble” for saying the n word.

Unfortunately, my life has been relatively average in most respects and average is what doesn’t get written about….
The Dubious Task of Depression
Depression is a real thing, and as we continue to lose people to the emptiness they can’t fill, I hope we can be compassionate. How can someone begin to explain? It’s a lot easier to self medicate or over medicate with illegal or legal drugs to try to dull the pain. The relief that you…
Slight Pepper Please
Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/ring-of-fire/ As a Caribbean girl; spicy food is a way of life. It’s so common that I sometimes forget that it’s not “home food” for the entire populous of the U.S. With that said; I have Public Service Announcement. Spicy =/= Seasoned Since seasonings don’t end with a salt and pepper shaker in my household,…
