Random pic of my kid, because shes cute.

Today, as I perused the wall of my facebook page, I came across a video on the Cocoa Butter facebook page titled “24 things every black mom has said”, and it deeply disturbed me. Some of the quotes that stuck out to me were:

· I brought you into this world, I’ll take you out

· When we go into the store- don’t ask me for nothing and don’t touch nothing

Pro black. Pro woman. Pro child. I write about and for blackness. I am periodically petty, overly opinionated, and underpaid. https://www.thecookout.club
