when are we gonna talk about how some black folks can be monsters?

a couple years ago,
there was an article that was written about a powerful white hyena who was moonlighting as a movie mogul.
it spoke about how he would use his power to make actresses do unspeakable things for roles in his movies.
even though one black actress spoke out,
it was the majority of a-list white actresses that helped make his disgusting behavior go viral.
that once powerful hyena was brought down to the pits of hell and the #metoo movement was born.
the end result is he’s powerless,
sitting in a wheelchair at rikers,
while sexual harassment was highlighted in the entertainment industry and corporate.

it’s no secret that black people have a lot to endure a lot within those spaces.
when we finally make it to a company that is “for us; by us”,
you often feel like a refugee coming into a new world.
the first few days or weeks can be absolutely amazing,
but it’s a whole different story once the honeymoon phase is over.

it was a bombshell about what black vixens allegedly go through working at essence magazine…

imagine losing two parents?
when holidays or special occasions come around,
you can really feel their absence.
i’ve spent the last couple days on the couch,
crying randomly over this upcoming “mother’s day”.
some years it’s “i’m good”; other years can be tough.
this is a tough year.
so diddy is still grieving the loss of kim porter,
who died last year of pneumonia.
on the “yes girl!” podcast from “essence”,
diddy broke down while speaking about his first mother’s day without kim…

jussie smollett sees your questions and raises you a statement

it’s pretty alarming the amount of controversy theories about jussie smollett.
the gp is split in half.
one side believes he was attacked a couple days ago.
the other side believes he is making it up/not telling the truth.
when i first heard it,
i’ll admit i felt he was set up.
it sounded too “planned”,
but not once did i question the validity of his claims.
i felt he was attacked,
but my inner fox wanted to sniff out an answer.
well jussie spoke out with a statement via publicist to “essence” today.
this is what he had to font…
