šØšØšØ Earnest thread alert! šØšØšØ
Iāve been working on this for a few months and itās finally done and out in the world. Iāve been thinking about belief, tradition, and faith basically my whole life; and Iāve been on a journey that will probably continue for years to come.
Going to a white church in a Black body. That's what our play-cousin J.C. Howard (@TheJCHoward) gets into on this week's episode. And J.C. digs into the spiritual journey of Dante Stewart (@stewartdantec), who started and ended in a very similar place.

Finished reading Suzanne Collinsā new Hunger Games prequel recently and I CANNOT stop thinking about how good a TV show itād make.
Iām already writing it in my head if anyone is interested. And it is dope!
If you told me 3 years ago that @thecandicelim and I would be on the same show, I would not have been surprised at all.
But if you told me sheād be talking about having the hots for a sexy war criminal, Iād have said, āI expect no less.ā
Who knows if this will even be visible, but dusting off the ol Xitter to invite yāall to subscribe to my newsletter. Idk what iās going to be exactly yet, but I know I want you there!

Two thhings for you all to do today:
1. Listen to Ronald and I talk about Oppenheimer!
2. Follow me on Threads, because this app is quickly going from my side chick to my X. š
Late to the conversation, but @stewartdantec ās chat w/ @TheJCHoward via @NPRCodeSwitch on Going to a white church in a Black body is good! I was/am navigating aspects of it myself & trying to make sense of it in light of current ābridgingā endeavors. Tension on multiple levels.
š§If you've been following The King Road Killings, check out the fifth and final episode of season 1. And if you haven't listened from the beginning, you've got a lot of catching up to do. lol. Binge the whole season now.

We don't agree on every scent, but this is one @thecandicelim gave me as a gift; and I STILL have it on my desk! Bath & Body Works hive rise upā¦and listen to Candiceās treatise!
Let me say something clearly for those who think affirmative action gave Black people and other POC an unfair leg up (or at least gave the appearance of such):
I am Black.
I didnāt go to Harvard.
Because I wasnāt fucking qualified.
Ta-da.
Normally, I do not work on Tuesdays. But for certain people I will make an exception! For @idriselba I will wake up on my day off. Youāre going to want to tune in to this interview on Sunday!
