That took a lot of courage. I am happy to see her learning to live openly with alopecia. I started losing patches at about 17 and finally shaved all my hair off at 41. The shame, and embarrassment are real. Although I have had some years since to experiment with wigs and adjust to life without my own hair, this video…

I am jealous of what a gorgeously-shaped head Ayanna has. She could totally rock the minimal look if she chose to. But I still do understand how challenging her hair journey must have been.

It’s truly hard when agency is taken away from you regarding decisions about your body, even seemingly trivial decisions like how your hair/your head looks. And I can imagine how the Rep feels given the power of her twists in a time where we’re fighting to not have our hair judge as wild and unkempt by folks too…

Again, Levar Burton puts his/our people in the best possible light without coonery or apology. Rock on, Kunta/Ron LeFlore/Donald Lang (Dummy)/Geordi/ Mr. Reading Rainbow. They can clown your diction and erudite nature, but never your spirit, intensity or commitment.

They believed in you and it really speaks to what they saw in you. Look at you now. You have a whole lot of people that are so thankful for you. Keep writing truth to power and we will continue to read, learn, and grow. 

He pulled himself up by his nutstraps!

Thanks to MK my home is more organized than ever.  Kudos to her for building her brand and helping so many people get out from under their clutter.

The thing is, Kondo has never said “Don’t have lots of stuff” or “Don’t buy stuff”, she was just saying, “Don’t have stuff in your house you don’t like or enjoy, it’s doing you no good.” This is just like the hysteria that happened when people thought she was anti-book and started shit-talking her. But she never said,…

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and this story has pushed me over the edge:

Yeah, the Bugs Bunny defense just doesn’t hold water.
