    Lose Your Likes

    After taking a huge social media break earlier this year, I thought I was making progress. I’d been a good girl. I had deleted the appropriate apps from my phone. If I absolutely had something to share, I’d found ways of posting that didn’t involve using my phone or spending time scrolling. And then, earlier…

  • Mind Your Media: The Diversity Double Standard

    Continuing my discussion of how racism is reflected within our media, let me give you a concrete example. There’s a media host whom I’ll call Craig. in the past I’ve seen Craig use his platform to promote someone who can’t grasp the idea of why fetishizing people from within a particular non-white community might be…

  • On expressions of grief in the Age of Social Media

    This post was originally shared January 28th on Medium. This past Sunday in the wake of the news about Kobe Bryant, I had a lot of thoughts. Among them, I was wondering whether or not I should post something on Instagram, and if I did, what would I say? In the midst of my questions,…

  • Can we talk about racism in the church?

    How about now? In the wake of one of gospel’s greats finding the strength to share his story, I wonder how much longer it will be before he receives an appropriate response.

    Somewhere in America, an elementary school teacher let a feminist bake her class some cookies. I’m a feminist. Hence, I can understand looking at that sentence and thinking, “So what?” Well…There’s more. This woman didn’t just bake any cookies. She made VAGINA cookies. From Reddit: …Friday rolls around and the kids are excited. Autumn Lily…

  • “Looking back, looking back, looking back…”

    Over on Blogging While Brown I learned that Bee of 83 to Infinity was hosting a blog carnival devoted to posts that celebrated the year gone by and the year to come. Every day offers another chance to close the door on what you don’t want, and open another one. The media reminds us that…

  • Thought of the day.

    Human beings are teaching me more about God than religion ever has.

  • Get ready?

    I have one week before school starts. You’d think I’d be more prepared.  One final but vital detail needs to be sorted out. If you’re spiritual at all, pray or send out positive vibes. In spite of that concern, the other 99.9% of me is overcome with excitement.  I’m really looking forward to experiencing the…
