She slowed it down and depressed the hell out of it, which was completely unnecessary. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to actually do it. She might have done better covering “Slow Hand” by the Pointer Sisters, which is a country single. It was covered by a few country artists, and…

So, despite the Harts’ run-ins with the law, reports of alleged child abuse, and 911 calls from some of the children themselves, they were allowed to keep the kids. But Ms. Celestine, a blood relative with no criminal history and stable employment who wanted all of her sister’s children, had them taken away on the…

No, man. Just no. You got it all wrong.

I love JDJJ so freaking much. She can do no wrong. Ever.

It truly is, and the global stigma of mental illness, especially in POC, is one of the most complicated aspects. We worry about being seen as violent or a burden, and with slanted media coverage and the widespread inability of law enforcement to appropriately communicate with people with mental illness, it further…

I hope her story will help other WOC realize they don’t have to be Superwomen and suffer in silence.
