Not only is it not Friday, but it’s not Thursday 5pm yet. 🫩

Ananda Lewis, the former MTV VJ, has died, according to a post on her sister Lakshmi’s Facebook page

this pride month, remember that some ppl are gay, but not queer. queer as a political identity and worldview means something very different.

Headed back to ATX 🛫

I just need an iced coffee and some tacos. That would heal me.

I ain’t getting on a plane for awhile after this.

Thankful for global entry right about now.

free books!

Kwame Ture on the lessons of the 60s mobilizations

America’s main export is propaganda. We literally do not manufacture anything here so we can put money into media and military to crate a narrative about this being a benevolent nation.

Having our last dinner. Bittersweet. 🥲 (but I can’t wait to touch down and eat tacos)

Don't shrink yourself for anyone www.instagram.com/plantkween/r...

One of the best things I’ve ever normalized for myself is thinking, “I don’t know enough about this to reply to this stranger” and scrolling on by

Wow, now that I'm thinking about it... this is exactly how my BBQ experiences have gone

baby uno is buried on the shoreline in Ada 🇬🇭🤎🪽

MLK was also standing in support of South Africa while Black ppl where fighting for civil rights in America Malcolm X was a strong supporter of Palestinians during the fight for civil rights in America as well All of your favorite activists stood in solidarity with other oppressed groups

If a platform isn’t place to go for 1) breaking news 2) private profiles 3) high-quality video 4) pop culture 5) industries that are not only politics, tech, academe 6) positive engagement with art, artists and art news 7) humor …then no, it won’t grow. No politics-only platform will grow forever.

“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.” -Thomas Sankara

They’re having a going away lunch for us 🥲🇬🇭🤎

People seem to be spreading this narrative that black people are not protesting right now. Let's set the record straight. The black people who were stepping up for their community before are still doing it now. They already know our mission doesn't change based on who's president.

The Black Panther Party wouldn’t “sit this one out” or tell our people this isn’t our fight. Just saying.

African sunset 🌅 🇬🇭🤎

It’s been such a joy to have a little toddler with us. Seeing Africa through his eyes has been so enlightening and funny at the same time. He got hella aunties and uncles now. lol

Toured nkyinkyim museum today

“We are back home!” After we stood in the ancestral slave river at Assin Manso - Last Bath

Visited a school in Cape Coast and spoke to the kiddos about HBCUs 🇬🇭🤎

need to be buried in epsom salt

Compression socks have been saving the day.

Went to the ancestral river and got to walk the route barefoot then dip our feet in the water while they spoke blessings over us. Then we held hands with each other and welcomed one another back. Our guide said this is where the spiritual healing can begin. It was powerful. I’ll never forget it.

this is the second time the organizers of this trip have taken us to KFC…🫠

capitalists are always going to side with capital. The only time they'll side with their race is when white people remind them of theirs

She still looks amazing though. 🥲

my skin has softened so much being here

Wish I could’ve captured the women preparing for EID. Their outfits are stunning as well as their beauty. One woman was adorned in Christian Dior from head to toe.

I see why everybody be in slides, flip flops and sandals over here. My feet are barking in these tennis shoes.

I survived this obstacle course 😩🥲🇬🇭

deep in the subtropics today

Men are too emotional to use social media

I wasn’t in charge of the booking cause if they would’ve asked me I would’ve told them IMMEDIATELY NO

It’s crazy because I was standing in baggage claim with both of them and one of the ladies was telling me how she had to pack more bags than she wanted since her clothes are bigger and they can’t fit in suitcases the same which has been my experience too. they’ve been so calm about it.

10 of the PhD students haven’t had any luggage this whole time (united fucking sucks) but it was two plus size girlies and they needed white outfits for the renaming ceremony and I’m so glad I had extra and could lend them. Cause I knew nobody was gonna have anything for them. SMH
