Duh.

Find the Ebony cover from the month/year you were born:

Me listening to the Bay Area rap I grew up with.

They in fact do not love you like I love you.

Today is my birthday, making it a great time to buy my new book “I Finally Bought Some Jordans” if you haven’t already.

One of the cool things about almost being 40 is my kid is a pre-teen and way more fun to hang out with than adults.

It’s soulmate energy when you both cancel plans at the same time.

Chicago, Morgan Farley has been missing for a week. If anyone has seen her, please get in touch with her family. You can find details on this flyer.

Y'all, there is a surge of authors withdrawing their books from considerations from PEN related awards due to their dangerous rhetoric on Palestine, if you come across anyone who has done this, try and support them by purchasing their books or spreading word of their needed work.

Anyway, wore the fitted for my pop.
I’m a New Yorker where ever I’m at.❤️

Fair & normal

Dating question for ladies who take food very seriously:

If a man asks me if I’ve eaten and my reply is, “no,” and then he tells to eat, my response will of course be “make me.”

Now he has 30 minutes to send me tacos or I’m blocking him.

This is fair and normal, right?

“Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong asked Asian and Caucasian participants to rate photos of people across a range of categories.”

Black Ashley I said “we” for so many years that someone hired a former assistant of mine thinking they were abt to get magic when really it was “me” with really great direction. We is one of my pronouns because community BUT whew… I struggle sometimes giving ME the glory she deserves.

What I’m doing is enough!!!!
I’m never leaving out my last name, not again!!!

I miss feeling protected by men.

I want to say this specifically to Black women creatives:

Stop hiding.
Stop saying 'we' when it's really you.
Stop leaving off your last name.
Stop thinking what you do is not enough.

If there are things you aspire to create, create them.
Be loud about it.
