to attend this conference, you have to be race conscious. i don have time to waste on opinions about race and racism. it’s real. let’s move on and work towards the solution.
also i’m pondering about making it POC exclusive. POC have to create common ground before allowing white allies to come in.

Why the US Owes Haiti Billions by Bill Quigley... →
kemetically-ankhtified:
The reparation money that Haiti was forced to pay France after the revolution to gain its independence ($1 billion then, $22 billion today) destabilized the Haitian economy during the 19th century. During this time, Haiti had political and economic control of the island. This opened an opportunity for Dominicans to fight Haiti for their independence.

i love therapy.
i used to reject it, then finally went and was like, “where have you been my whole life?!”
i forgot for a few months and totally remembered last week why i love my therapist.
i used to scoff at therapy, mostly because of the taboo a lot of our culture has about mental wellness. now, i understand it is a tool to cope with the healing journey we are on.
