The silence of injustice and racism is so loud, it's like a never ending scream.

Dismantle systemic racism or wallow in pointless, ineffective social banter
If I reach one person that will unpack their Anti-Blackness, then that's a start. I will have paid rent for a place on the internet. #MommyFab
We are tired.
We want to exist without being exposed to racial ignorance and hate. I am tired of the shit. Leave us the f*** alone. #MommyFab
I am sorry you hate yourself….
... but leave my beautiful Black ass out of it. Recently, I was reflecting about the past relationships I have had and like a runaway freight train, it hit me.
