Because I'm focused on hopefully reversing my #diabetes (got my #A1C down to 6), I have severely restricted my #alcohol intake and still haven't tried #BlackGirlMagic #wines I've seen.

Given the blinding #whiteness of the #industry, globally and in the #US, I definitely plan to add their delicious-sounding #SauvignonBlanc and #CabernetMerlot blend to my list of selections when I do buy and drink bottles again (I don't "collect").

The OnBoard The Film Team had a fabulous time (and award winning time) at the 2023 Essence Fest Film Festival ! Our film screened during the Social Impact Stories block which couldn’t be more fitting.

We are elated at the opportunity to share this story at an event that prioritizes Black Women thriving !

Thank you to the entire Essence Film Festival Team!

"I am the granddaughter of the witches you couldn't burn"

She says in response to a native woman pleading with her to stop appropriating our sacred medicines

"Haters mean I'm doing something right"

She says in response to a black woman telling her that not all magic belongs to her, that she can't understand the suffering that makes this power, that she can't access the wisdom that comes from this pain

She spiritually bypasses her work again and again

She takes and she takes

She shows no remorse

She wants their #blackgirlmagic
She wants their soft brown skin
She wants to drink in the honey suckle from their hands
She wants to know the lines of their grandmother's palms
She claims "womanhood"
She denies the ambient being, the energies inside us that batter back and forth
Not male, not female
She calls it "social justice warrior shit"
Ignores that the Cree were here before her

She is not the granddaughter of the witches they couldn't burn
She is the granddaughter of the man who lit the fucking match

Who pillaged our villages, stole our sisters, destroyed our lands

Stripped us of our land rights
Stripped us of our names
Residential schools and slavery
Shoving us into their modern European binaries-
One built on the backs of the stomped out earth religions of the Celts, and the little people who pebbled the frozen coasts

She is the jailer
The bounty hunter
The one who demanded the Chinese build her railroad

She created these borders
She divided us
She forgot we are still here

And she dares to teach about the magic of creation

When all she knows is how to destroy

Bite your tongue, witch
The earth remembers
And so do I

Soul Sister Alert 💯

Feels good, reading most of a book in a day. Feels like it's been forever since I just sat and read. Taking today for me, before i collapse from going nonstop.

Wildseed Witch, highly recommend. A New Orleans YouTube obsessed middle schooler heads to Vacherie to attend a magical finishing school for young ladies for the summer. #BlackGirlMagic

Soul sister alert.went to meet my niece for lunch today

Two high school students from New Orleans may have created a new mathematical proof for the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem #BlackExcellence #BlackMastodon #BlackGirlMagic

Ruby Finley vs the Interstellar Invasion, a middle grade sci-fi mystery adventure featuring a Black girl who loves science.

11yo Ruby would do anything to be an entomologist. So when she finds the weirdest bug EVER in her front yard, she quickly captures it for further study.

Before she can identify it, the bug escapes... just before the Feds come looking for it.

What's going on? Find out 👇🏽

Two Black Girls from New Orleans May Have Made History By Proving the Pythagorean Theorem Through Trigonometry

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/24/new-orleans-pythagoras-theorem-trigonometry-prove

#blackgirlmagic #math #pythagorastheorem #trigonometry

Two young Black girls have presented their proof of Pythagoras's theorem---which uses trigonometry without resorting to circular reasoning, something previously considered impossible--to the south-eastern chapter of the American Mathematical Society.

That's #BlackGirlMagic.

Congratulations to these 2 brilliant girls! #BlackGirlMagic
