I am a Nigerian Jamaican feminista. Brooklyn born and Jersey bred. I'm your Bed-Stuy living, rum loving, public health, international development and women studies nerd. Living by three basic rules: treat everyone as you wish to be treated, appreciate those who love you, and speak your truths. Let everything you do begin and end with love.

"we have all hurt someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. we have all loved someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. it is an intrinsic human trait, and a deep responsibility, i think, to be an organ and a blade. but, learning to forgive ourselves and others because we have not chosen wisely is what makes us most human. we make horrible mistakes. it’s how we learn. we breathe love. it’s how we learn. and it is inevitable."

"believing in yourself is not a luxury. it is where the wildness enters your genius. it is wanton survival and burning indifference to what and who you are not supposed to be. it is the deepest revolution possible, the arc and heft of the universe in one strategic thought; vital to the weight and will of your whole health. without your belief, you are a wilting born, a folding off into the corner of a sky hot with loss."

"if i have never seen you cry,
if you do not cry,
if you do not value or respect the needs of your water,
you and i can not form.
if you can not allow your own being
to wash over you,
how will mine ever make it past your skin."
