Zaxbys

Today is the start of a new life.

A few years ago, we had our first Zaxbys meal together. 
I love chicken salads and they had my favorite at the time. They were only available in my local area so I took my husband, then just my friend, as an introductory treat. After that meal is when we decided we'd be together and see where it went, a new beginning.

It was the first time I had started something with the intention of no pressure, just vibes. No expectations, just freedom.

Today, we are having Zaxbys for dinner. 
We've officially moved out of our first marital home.

Today, we evolve to another level of freedom.
Today, I've completed a task on my list of 5-6 month long tasks.
A big one.

All praises to The Most High !

Africa - “You’re not gonna make it”

Someone told me I'm not gonna make it in Africa because there aren't any social programs in place. Very big lol. I mentioned that I think a lot of the problem with America is that we have so many social programs in place. Being poor isn't easy anywhere in the world. It's also a bold assumption that I am in need of social programs. But you know, all Black Women are poor? This person, in the same conversation, went on and on about how beautiful the weather is, how amazing the people, childcare, culture, and the food are.....I'm like ???? Do you not hear yourself ? But, these are the avenues I value. I guess it's easy to disregard those things if your primary focus is money. To be fair, they also briefly mentioned a hard life leaving their country in Africa to get to America. To be even more fair, someone who doesn't want me to go sent this person to "talk" to me. I'm always eager to hear new perspectives about things from every angle. It's ho

Support - What does that look like?

To me, being supportive always meant showing up and showing out for those that I care about, those that I love. To me, receiving support always felt like tolerating how little someone who is supposed to care is actually doing to contribute a cause, while only truly offering judgement. Basically, I don't have support. I have an audience. The season that launched 2016 showed me wassup but 2020 taught me what's real. My family is disappointing. They always have been. They are the epitome of how I see the African American diaspora in totality.  Everyone has an idea of what oppression looks like, everyone has a judgment of how you chose/choose to face it. But no one has contributed; time, energy, or resources to your deliverance in actuality. In fact, often times the most eager judgements are assessed when there is an instance in which the variables are not clear. Even more so, instances where they lack the wherewithal or even experience to comprehend the parameters of the situation

Maps

 Random: Maps? They’re weird. They’re created from the perspective of the cartographer. So that means you probably will never see what they saw. Our perspective is important. The blue marble ? strange - it has been admitted that it’s edited and reoriented. Hm. South oriented down? Also strange ? The Mercator is racist and informative about culture though. The perspective of that map reveals so much. The fact that it’s so widely used reveals even more.
