contact me


i was such a cute kid in the third grade, all my teachers loved me.


a week before this photo was taken, i cut my hair without my mother’s permission.


i knew it was wrong but i didn’t care


despite the consequences, i have always moved with my instincts

	my mother on the other hand, did not care about my heart’s desire when she saw the asymmetrical bangs i gave myself
	

she was heartbroken.
	
i had such long, thick hair. how could i do that to myself?

	
in memoriam of those fallen strands, she kept them in a plastic baggie in the first drawer of my childhood dresser

we have always been the sentimental type.

	
you wouldn’t have been able to tell my hair was cut if i hadn’t told you.


that is because presentation always mattered to my mother.

she got it from my Nana....


....and passed it down to me.&#38;nbsp;


	the women in my life were the earliest and most influenticial examples of black womanhood.

embedded in me is a piece of their respective experience.


my mind wanders a lot,
	

i can only concentrate on what i am invested in.


sometimes i wake up with words in my head


	i release them
	
	
i let them breathe

	
&#38;nbsp; i go through journals like tea bags
	

	&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; i only second guess myself on paper.

my grocery lists are calligraphy practice


cursive is faster.

	
i find great comfort in escapism.
